will 26650 MNKE Li-ion cells charge/make contact in an XTAR WP6 II?

[tobrien]

so I've ordered two MNKE IMR26650 3700mAh cells from the good folks at EDC+ and I didn't stop to think about how I'd charge them. I do have an XTAR WP6 II but, but will these cells even make contact with the terminals? I've got plenty of those screw-in spacers for the charger, but is the 26650 cell too tall? oops 🙁

Not sure about the Wp6 but a single cell fits just fine in the WP2, so I imagine you may be able to charge 2-3 in the WP6.

If they don't fit you can always use some magnets and jumper wires to charge the cells outside of the charger.

thanks bud! turns out they do make contact on both ends in both my WP6 II and my MP1S of the same brand

i had even ordered a dedicated charger (TF-005) to do these but oh well. Doesn't hurt to have a backup

thanks man! 🙂
