26650 Charger

Im going to buy some of these:

LiMnNi Rechargeable 26650 Cell: 3.7V 4000 mAh, 10A rated 14.8Wh - UN Approved (NDGR)

Can someone recommend a charger?

Or can I just charge them with like 4v?

Specs say 6.5A Max charging current.
And the charging graph


EDIT:
So looking at the graph it looks like i just need to make a current source with a max voltage of 4.1v right?

I have some of the WF-188 chargers in stock. They are the most versatile chargers I have come across. It can charge just about any battery you will use with portables and it does 3.2V or 3.7V via selector switch.:beer:

It is a larger capacity cell.

To charge in a reasonable time, it will require a larger charging system.

If the graph is correct, 4.2 VDC is required like many lithium-ion cell chargers provide.

I charge my 26650's on the WF-188 all the time and find the charging time very reasonable. If I am using a 2W dual flex unit a lot I may have to charge it once or maybe twice a week. Just throw it on the charger overnight and it is done in the morning.

But if speed is what you are looking for here is a 3A charger from the same place as the battery so it will save you on shipping.

Also they have a 6A charger that is almost to the 6.5A max charging rate on that 26650 cell which is from the same place as the batteries as well.
