Can anyone recommend a decent battery charger that will take a 20700 battery without squashing it in ?

This is the latest charger. Meant to be a gooden

Max only 1500 mA and then only when charging just 2 batteries , fecking Nitecore, well pretty much all charger manufactures. WTF!!!!! spend on an 8 bay charger that can only charge 2 batteries at a reasonable speed for vapers.  OK it does 4 at one Amp, OKish a year or three ago and far better than previous Nitecores, but it has to be a big thumbs down on value and usefulness from me, I'm sure it works fine, but I am not charging low amp batteries for flashlights.

ETA IMO this just encourages people to charge unattended, with 8 batteries it's only 0.5 A (better than i4 & D4), but I feel far safer charging on my 2 bay 2 A chargers.  I can charge 25Rs in 90 mins, I can find 90 mins to be in the room with the chargers, bit not the 6 hoursish this would need or the 8+ hours and i4 or D4 would need.  Who the feck has 6, 8 or even more hours to babysit thier charger, we buy these things for our convenience, to simplify life?  (BTW it would be a couple more hours with 3000 mAh batteries like 30Qs)

If you can charge for 6 to 10 hours in the presence of responsible adults every time then these are a reasonable choice.

You can top up charge these batteries, best way to go if you have a slow charger or no charger IMO.

Yeah I'm not clued up on the technical side of how they charge and stuff. I know that's your area Jon. I've used the same xstar 4 bay charger since I started vaping. It is a bit slow and painful but I have loads of battery's so never go short. I recommend this charger as my friends at the shop all use boxer 2700s and they have this charger in the shop so it come straight to mind for 2700 battery's.

In a shop where there is going to be someone around for 10 hours a day fine Taylor, you can also just turn them off when you go out, it's probably the fastest 4 bay charger at 1 A which is not too bad, but for 20700 large capacities I would look for 2 A per battery myself.
