charging the tk mönster

[king2penn]

hi all, i am planning to buy a tk monster from modamag. Any recommendations on which multi 18650 battery chargers to get? Also, can a certain brand of battery be used with a different brand of charger?

Regards, steven

hmmm the product description is not so clear. So it will charge 8 18650 batteries on AC power?

It's the safest one. Though it only charges 2 at a time.

hmm, 2 might be too little for me. I wonder if there are any safe and reliable 4 or even 8 18650 bay chargers

I posted a modded Voltcraft cradle here which I can network into 12s at a time.

Also recently, Sylathnie posted his mod here.

A few months back, member Data posted his mod here.

The problem has never been finding a charger, rather a practical cradle holder for doing balance charging of larger quantity Li-Ion cylindrical cells does not exist (at last check). You should balance charge your cells for this light.

As a CPF community sidebar, meant in a friendly, constructive manner, I believe that is DM51's spectacular photo of the MaxaBeam at sunset on your sig linked website, might want to give him credit as a matter of courtesy--especially since you are using it for promoting a light rental service--which is a very clever idea! Nice website too!

I use a pila IBC for my TK monster.

Takes a while, but everything takes a while for the TK monster. The 5mins of glory makes it worthwhile!
