Will be interesting to see how long this takes to get to Canada, compared to the express shipping on some of my light purchases:sick2:

The charger arrived the other day and looks great. One simple question on operation. So I plug the charger into my USB port and the led goes to green. I then attach to a partially charged battery and light goes off. How do I know when it is charged? Tried this on a few batteries and seems to be the same? I was assuming the LED would stay on until the battery was charged then it would go off but the led goes off once contact is made

Finally got to put my batteries on a meter. Mine charges batteries up to 4.06vdc when the led goes off. Never gets higher than that, whether I need a long charge or am topping off. Is this indicative of a problem charger? I've tried a couple different meters and both read exactly the same.

As i stated before, The charger does not charge batteries that
are over 3.9v at a fast rate. They tricklecharge. And that will
not show up with the green indicator. For lower Vf batteries,
The light will shut Off when charging is complete.

Please try a different USB port. Or try a Usb wall charger that puts out at least 400mA :thumbsup:

Got mine in the mail last night.
Very nice unit you put together ( USB charger, with two gold magnet balls, in a nice compact case)

Have not tried it yet, but will do so this weekend.
Now that I have a good charger, bring on the new lights & rechargeable batteries. I think this will be the most expensive charger I have ever bought:whistle:
