Pros: - Recharges batteries quickly and safely.- doesnt get too warm- Charges one or two batteries at a time with the lights that tell you when they are done.- Price isnt too bad.- Charges to correct voltage every time!
Cons: - Nothing!
Other Thoughts: Works with a good variety of 18650 batteries and seems to always charge to correct volage.
Bottomline: Does exactly as advertised and does it every time. Works well for charging your batteries overnight as you sleep without any worry of it catching on fire. Definitely works well for the money and i would buy one again.Worth your money!
Pros: Says it's UL listed. Does not get hot when in use; this is a sign that the charger uses more sophisticated circuitry than one would expect from an $8 charger. Can charge cells independently. Rated for 1A charge current; haven't verified this but charge current seems to be above 500mA.
Cons: None for the price. Contact springs are a little thin - probably don't want to use this charger in a commercial setting.
Other Thoughts: Only use this to charge 18650 cells - the charge current is too high for other li-ion cell sizes. Use a 500mA charger for smaller (lower A-h capacity) cells.
Bottomline: ...
Pros: A very ECO-friendly way to power my torches! I use it with my DX Trustfire TR18650 2500 mAh 3.7v batteries. Separate charging bays so I can charge one battery at a time. Charges to correct voltage, aprox. 4v, but as with any LION rechargeable, care should be taken. Most of my torches can use either 2xCR123/RCR123's or ONE 18650 battery so this charger makes things easier. I really like the fact I can reuse my batteries make me feel "green." Easy to use, properly charges my 18650s, and great value!! Not to mention, FREE SHIPPING!! I once fell asleep and left it to charge one 18650 overnight WITHOUT any problems!!
Cons: NOT one con, just be prepared to wait for it, it took about 2 weeks to receive this charger, but worth the wait.
Other Thoughts: Great price, does what it supposed to, came with proper US AC cord, European customers need only a plug adapter, it accepts 110v AC or 220v AC, no need for a voltage adapter.
Bottomline: VALUE plus ease of use equals GREAT PRODUCT, thanks DX!!
Pros: Excellent price for an excellent 18650 battery charger. The charger takes 2 18650-type batteries and charges each one individually until each battery reaches 8.4v then it switches to trickle charge. There's one status LED for each battery. LED is red when charging, turns green when fully charged (8.4v).
Cons: Occasionally, when batteries are fully charged, the green LED lights pulsate very quickly until batteries are removed.
Other Thoughts: It would be nice if the AC cord is removable.
Bottomline: If you need one, buy one or two :)
