Reading here and seeing that surefire backs the K2 or tenergy products lead me to purchase the K2 energy charger and batteries (altho i went with Li-ion 123 instead)
So I got my new P2x fury Surefire and my K2 energy charger and batteries (im all excited), I plug the charger in, pop the cells in and... POWWWW the charger blows up and emits plastic burning smoke. I contact K2 let them know what happen they promptly send me another unit. I plug that unit in and walk across my room to grab the cells and.... POWWWW the charger proceeds to blow up and emit some more burning plastic smoke. ( now im furious, all I want to do is play with my Surefire and I cannot). Now I need to see what is going on. I open the unit and immediately see the problem. A capacitor labeled ChongX 220uf 16V has blown up shooting out brown paper like material all over the charger. I contact K2 and the ebay seller (batteries in a flash) and told them I no longer want your charger just send me cells and they did. I am now super happy with my nitcore I4 intellicharger that works flawlessly so far and charges my 18650 plus my cr123.
