Nice Charger

Pros: - Very nice and cheap charger
- It does charge 18650 and rc123a without any problem
- It's very compact and tiny in size
- It does work :-) and it works well


Cons: - It comes with a US plug, so if you live in a european country (italy for me) you need to buy a US to FLAT adapter (DX sells them at 0.99$)
- Build quality seems cheap, but, its price it's too low so I don't bother at all


Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Buy it if you use those kind of batteries to power your flashlights... it's very useful!
If you wanna spend some other dollars there are expensive chargers here at DX but I think they do the same :-)


Good, Inexpensive Solution

Pros: Very inexpensive and basic unit. Limited in flexibility but I only wanted it to charge CR123a batteries. Charges batteries to about 4.0 volts (maybe slightly higher) before it turns off.


Cons: It has a cheap feel to it. It is very light and feels flimsy. The CR123A contacts may have to be bent outwards so that they make a good contact with the batteries. No instructions are included.


Other Thoughts: Only used it for CR123A batteries and it seems to work as advertised. Probably not built for heavy duty or constant use, but more suitable for occasional usage.


Bottomline: Cheap charger that works. If you don't have a need for all the bells and whistles, this is the charger for you. Oh, and don't try to decipher the english on the side of the box. Most of it makes no sense and may cause your head to explode.

Pros: I have only charged pairs of 18650 batteries in this charger but it has served me well for over a year now. Charges my batteries consistantly about 2 times a month. Very reliable for me.


Cons: Build quality is pretty light but it does what you need it to do. I think all the brains are in the wallwart power adapter.


Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Bottomline is this charger works as intended and gives you the flexibility to charge the two most common formats in small handheld lights. Add one of these to your cart to take care of your charging needs.
