quality Li-on charger -

[zband]

I have a MAHA 777 plus II, which I have now relegated to li-ion battery duty only, since it tends to cook my niMH cells. I like the visual feedback on the display (mAh/ voltage) but I was charging my new AW 18650 battery today (protected) and found out that the charger kept "resetting", so I assume the protected cell was doing its thing, nevertheless it concerned me.

Is there a Li-ion battery charger that is similar to say c-9000 or the bc-900, with visual charging feedback, made for Lithium ion batteries? The only chargers I have found have dummy lights that turn a different color when its done. I figure my batteries deserve more.

Suggestions?

Too bad Schulze does not offer cradles for charging loose cells...

Ah, but Competition Electronics does! It'll only go up to AA size, but at least it's a start.

Thanks for the responses, but the shultz charger is a bit expensive for me now- I was hoping that maybe someone heard of a less expensive unit. With the popularity of Li-ion batteries growing I wish LaCross or Maha would get a unit designed for li-ion's out that is similar to the s-9000 wizard....
