My appologies to all. I have moved my query to Batteries section.
Oh, I don't know that there's been any violation of etiquette here. JA(me)S question is, at least in part, about the 4Sevens charger. I suppose it would be up to HKJ to determine.
Hello,
I just wondering what should i set for my AW 18650 2900mah?
let me say i set it for 1A, then for the best Voltages is it on 3.6V or 4.2V??
what is big deal if i set on 4.2V? is it gonna blow?
Sorry for my Totally noob question...and for my english...
Thanks Guys :naughty:
These batteries (like most LiIon we use here) are ICR or LiCoO2 cells, i.e. you must use 4.2 volt. Using 3.6 volt would not damage the cell, but you would not get any charge in it either. If you charger a 3.6 volt cell on 4.2 volt you might get trouble!
All 18650 batteries can be charger on the 1A setting, the 0.5A setting is for smaller batteries. You can see my table "Supported battery sizes" for some recommendations on current switch setting vs. cell size.
HKJ (and 45/70) what's your sense of the pros and cons of this charger vs. the XTAR MP2? Not counting that the MP2 can do 2 batteries of course.
Thanks. Which one would be a better solution for a proper charging of RCR123?

Why can't anyone get one of these things right?
