With only some 22 chargers to chose from , depending on what batt you run , CR123A or 18650 , I thought it might be worth fishing for owners of said chargers , and there thoughts on there said purchase .

Please , if you own one of these chargers , let us know what you think .

Hi, good idea, although there should be some information in this forum on those chargers already.

Seems you missed one additional:
All-In-One Charger: http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=2717
Mechanically it's, ok, electronically the charging current is rather low (230mA for Li-Ion).

Further, I own the Digital Li-ion 18650 sku.6105, seems like a decent charger, pretty widely used, marketed by Wolf-Eyes as well. Could gather some add. details if needed.

Yes I own 5 myself : And possibly a 6th one shortly . But it would be nice to get the info in one thread and as much input from as many people as possible to get a good picture of the chargers available . That way perhaps some of the lucky ones have a better idea of what to buy .

So far , for me the Ultrafire WF-138 is the only charger not to overcharge .
The Trustfire TR001 has to me the best charge cycle , but overcharges .
Im going to see if I can put a mA meter on the TR001 so I can guesstimate when its close to 4.2v ...

I own :
2/ Great charge cycle / overcharges
3/ Good Charge cycle / power supp runs hot and can die on 220 - 240 volts
6/ Good Charger / slightly overcharges [ 2nd model ]
8/ Good Charger
11/ Runs hot , so hot I drilled lots of holes in the body to improve cooling .

It's been touched upon, but no concrete data yet.

Here is a thread on it: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=136277

There are a few folks here that have them and are getting very good results from it. Bonus is that it's a true CC/CV charger.

I have one coming from Battery Station ('Dual Pocket' charger towards bottom of the page - closeout for $9 + shipping).
 
I hooked up an Arlec power supp to DSD or No3 , and it goes green @ 4.16v every time , without fail , single or dual batts . :thumbsup:

The Arlec is a multi voltage power supp set to 6v , and it supplies 500mA , and its like 20 years old , so dont ask me where to get one .

PS/ come on in folks , the waters fine .

I only recently got #4, and haven't done any real testing yet -- the other two are ones you've got, and have already discussed. #4 has charged some 18650s and 25600s with no :poof:age (and much faster than the DSD or TR001!); I disconnected them when it turned green, and the voltage was OK (sorry, don't recall exactly, but not over 4.25V). Didn't use an ammeter, so I can't yet say whether it stops charging. It reads 4.24V open-circuit, so I'm sure it won't overcharge them dangerously if they're left in a few hours...
