Where can I get battery spacers to charge my 14500 and 10440 batteries in my DSD charger? I am getting tired of stacking pennies together to rig an unstable bridge between the charger contact and battery.
 
Even though I think people don't recommend charing them in the DSD since they are smaller cells, I've had no problems so far (but I monitor it the whole time). And they don't seem to get hot.

I took the pennies I was using, and soldered them together. I have 2 stacks, one for 14500, and then put them both together for 10440. Becareful that it doesn't touch the side terminals and short out the charger. Put them on the other end and use heatshrink or tape on them.
 
If you bend up one set of the 16340 terminals, it's a good fit for a 10440 cell.
