I just got a XTAR VP2 at the recommendation of this forum, nice unit. Decent build quality, nice display, very simple to use. Just pick your voltage, and 0.25, 0.5, or 1.0 amps.
My plan is to use 0.25 amps normally and charge the batteries overnight, hoping the batteries last longer that way.
I bought two orbtronic 3400 mAh 18650 protected 3.7V batteries to add to my collection. Recommendations on better batteries welcome.
I noticed that the charger allows 3.2V, 3.6V, or 3.8V. Which is best for charging 18650s? Any trade offs? Would a flashlight (fenix tk15ue in this case) be brighter or last longer with either 3.6V or 3.8V?
Would the batteries handle more recharges with either voltage?
