Good charger?

SYSMAX Intellicharge i2 Li-Ion Ni-Cd Ni-MH 2-Channel Smart Battery Charger

Is this a good charger for my batteries? I have some 16340's, 10440's and planning on getting an 18350 or two. Need to know if this will charge them all without exploding them or something lol...

Yes, it is a very good charger. couldn't have picked a better charger(except the I4 which has more slots) :beer:

 

[TheRichman]

Excellent! Gonna purchase it then, and I only need 2 slots so thanks!

Glad to be of help:beer:

That's the preferred charger of the modern on the go laserist

I just got an i4 and I love it.

Damn dj. Really went in and diagnosed that very well. That's something I'd do nsteadof iPod immediately sending it back . I'm way to impatient. Good to know they are as good as everyone says

I bought the 4 slotted one and have been very happy with it. Charges both Li's and Ni batteries well. One thing to note though, the directions do say to not charge a single 10440 by itself because of too much current.

26650s fit a little funny, but still fit. Other than that, no complaints.

Only 2 at a time due to size on those cells.

Here's a very detailed analysis of the i2 charger:

TL;DR - It's a great charger, but not perfect.

I would say do not charge 10440s even by pairs if you're using those ****fire batteries. I had those and charged them at about 250mA (usb based charger) but after a few cycles, wouldn't stop charging and the battery would heat up. I fear it might explode if left alone.

26650s dont fit funky.....all mine fit well and I even have protected ones that are very large that fit. Tony, what 26650s do you have?
