Mine is still working perfectly. Wish I could say that about my powerx. One bay stopped working.

I still use my Pila charger. I do notice that it seldom charges up to 4.2 volts.

I have not used my Pila charger since I got Fenix ARE-C2. I will make a test to charge with Pila and then place the cells in the Fenix to read the voltage.
Anyway: Pila IBC is a compact charger very good for bringing with when so needed.

Still using mine. I had it for like 7 or 8 years maybe more. Still running great. Mine came with bunch of other countries adapters and also adapters for 17500 battery size.

My Pila is still going strong too. It terminates at 4.18 volt, which IIRC it always has. :thumbsup:

Have had mine for almost 10 years. It was really cool back when I got it.

But you need the adapters to charge cells smaller than 18650 size.

And it does not display the voltage.

Likewise I've also had my IBC for many years. Never realized it was such a good charger until I read some reviews here on CPF.

However, I did subsequently replace it with a Xtar VP2 (mainly to get the voltage display). Of course just recently the VP2 got replaced by the MC3000.
