the 10440's work fine

LIR 3.6V CR123A and the Nano charger both work well. Don't know about the others.

The cheapass 18650 1800mAh cells also work fine. The 3.0V Soshine batteries arent really working out for me though, seems the capacity is diminishing pretty quickly. Also use the 3.6V LIR 123's and a Nano charger, they work fine.

I need to get some 14500 and 10440 for new lights I am getting, mostly just used R123's before. This charger will charge both, which I haven't seen before. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.973

I can't tell if dealextreme's 14500's are protected? They are quite a bit cheaper than Aw's, is there a big difference in quality/runtime. Thanks

Also, is that charger I posted have individual channels?

Just saw the 14500's aren't protected.
