Nitecore/Good Chargers Recently?

I have an intellicharger ...a.soshine charger and a nitecore charger all work well and are not cheapies.
All have individual channels for charging, current and voltage sensing and temp shutdown .As far a the nitecore goes of late not sure but it hasn't skipped a beat none if them have. And you are right get one of them the cheapies are dangerous and if something goes wrong are far more likely to catch fire and total your house if left alone. I 90% of the time keep an eye on my batteries when charging from time to time anyway just as insurance ,i just feel the batteries if they are not any more than Luke warm on my fastest charger the soshine everything is fine.

I chose the i2s as the i4 still only has two circuits IIRC and my laser use time is not so demanding that two in my charger at almost all times is enough ...also I do test each i2 before selling so that keeps plenty of batteries ready to use.
I have 6 i2s in stock ATM $15- PM if intersted

hak
btw

after reading about burnt circuits and Lithiums maybe exploding I moved my charging outside with nothing around flammable and rarely ever left any batts on the cheap chargers overnight. Where i had these there was very little chance of a fire starting= now my Nitecore is in the house and I dont worry about fires.

true. But if you were charging only two batteries, the i4 has a higher charge current compared to i2. And the i2 runs a little on the warm side compared to the i4.

I honestly don't understadn what the price buys since it states i2/i4 and batteries.

it's 10$ for the i2 and for everthing else you add what stands in brackets

that 16$ for the i4 and +17$ for a 3400mah battery (most likely the panasonic with nitecore sticker)

Sorry, makes sense now. I've been very sick and somehow I missed seeing the numbers after the unit picks.

Reality is I'm going to be off work for another 2 weeks whcih means no pay for 5 weeks so I am on $ lockdown anyways. Just don't like not understanding things.

May seem odd that I have 1 i2 and 2 i4 units but I have a rather large collection and enough batteries to run every sigle unit at once plus at least another 50.
Besides, a couple of my cars are hybrids and I like to take apart the battery packs and individually charge each cell (just kidding ) Lol (I'm not an environmentalist wack job, just like the gas mileage).

I've purchased some Pan cells from Larry also.

I'm with hak on the safety thing big time. I would say I'm still a bit paranoid though as I won't charge anything unless I am at least in the house.
We push laser safety hard here but I rarely see anyone say anything about safely handling lithium batteries and apropriate chargers. The cheap units that come with purchases really should be warned about. I can say that one of the simple ones that happened to arrive with a laser purchase I was lucky enough to catch one starting to smoke (not the battery yet but the unit itself). You may damage your eyesight with a laser but killing everyone in your household would be infinately worse.

Well now that I have an i2 from Hak (I like it except the springs are not oiled, kinda annoying), I took some pics of the WL supplied 18650 chargers. Enjoy
