Hi, im new to high end flashlights, and it looks like i caught the bug.
well... i regged here, i guess that makes it official 😛
anyways im wondering about weather or not to go for lion rechargables,
or stick with primaries (btw why are they called primaries?) and nimh.
i currently own a fenix ld20(q5), running energizer litium disposables,
an olight t10 running cr123a from a dept store. (im guessing relabelled duracell, judging by price :S)
some things im considering getting in the future: quark 123, quark 123-2, quark AA, and perhaps eventually one of those mega 400lm+ lights like the mealstrom series, m30, tk30 etc.
i also want to try a number of AAA based lights such as the fenix ld01 and the preon 1/2.
first off the charger.
i should mention im in europe, and limited to using paypal,
so im primarily looking on ebay atm and the chargers i read about like that pilo one,
or the entire AW brand are nowhere to be found on it.
my budget is up to about $50, and id like it as safe as possible.
so here is one that caught my eye:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/Soshine-Charger-...070?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item563df1dfae
the main priority here ofcourse is safety...
another one i was looking at was the cytac charger on the 4sevens website.
i couldnt find any details on it, and the threads i found were rather techy.
in comparison to the soshine, is it better or worse?
i did notice that it does 14500, so thats an advantage...
as for the cells:
i think ill just get the AW 750mah from the 4sevens website.
everybody seems to consider them the best.
it doesnt list if they are protected though, are they?
also just to see if i understand this correctly:
if i get the right charger + the right cells, the charging procedure would go like this:
[check cells for voltage and amps > if ok then charge, observe weather they get too hot > wait till finished > remove and check cells for voltage and amps> if ok, then use]
did i miss anything?

in combination with protected batteries, does this look like a good option for a first timer?
