I'm looking for good fast charging charger for 3.7V 750mAh 16340 batteries (for Thor M2), I dont know almost anything about charging Lithium based batteries
I cant decide between Ultrafire WF-188 and Xtar VC2, they both (I think) have charging current of arround 0.5A, I heard that there are chargers that can use bigger charging current to charge batteries faster, but I dont know what is just best for 16340 bttr. and I dont know if there are better chargers than these. If anyone can recommend best charger for me I would be very thankful!

EDIT: Also if anyone need to know I'll be using RCR123/CR123 Protected AW 750mAh - 16340 batteries for this laser, from what I know they are very good quality.
:thinking::thinking:

Since you're from Poland I suggest to order those from Akkuteile 16340 >>
Plus, they have 7 pages of battery chargers to choose from and you can't complain of their prices.. If you're in hurry and can't wait two/three weeks from Gearbest, you can get those from Akkuteile just in few days.

They fit fine and I charged them according to directions. My laser powered up fine and I only use it no longer than 10 to 15 seconds at the most. the 3rd time my laser would not power up. Almost like a circuit breaker tripped. took them out and checked the voltage and it was also fine. Put them back in and it repeated what I just told you. I am pressed for time having two very young daughters, so I will update my profile as soon as my girls let me. Thank you so much for your time and help.

I bought 4 of these exact same batteries for the exact same laser and they don't work. I wasted $24 bucks. I know, I have not introduced myself to LPF but I am just trying to let this guy know these Nitecore batteries did not work with my Thor M-2. I realize you are also looking for a charger. Two questions.

Huh thankfully I ordered 2 Protected AW's not nitecore's

Hope, for your sake, this is a battery problem and not a failure of your laser. Until you can use some known good batteries, you won't know for certain.

The cheap 16340 batteries it came with work but I just don't trust cheap batteries. I only use this pointer for the stars I make 4K time lapse videos of. I use it to show my daughters the different constellations. I knew it was cheap but decent for what I need it for. Thats why I bought what I thought were good quality protected batteries for it based on many threads I have been reading here for a few months now. I am not a tech like you but I think I understand your point. if these batteries are shutting down then its more than likely the laser. I bought 4 of them and tried all 4 and it keeps shutting down.Thank you for your help Paul, GSS and everyone else.

I need quick help, the shop I ordered AW's send me today a message that the batteries I ordered few days ago are not avillable (Fortunately, I chose the option of payment on delivery), soo I need to order other batteries quick before christmas.
What are other batteries other than those nitecore's that will work, they could be cheap for now...

"Efest" are good.

 

[leon1603]

I can buy them, also what do you think about KeepPower? On the Efest battery properties what I found it says that its unprotected

I can't vouch for KeepPower as I never had them..
Most of us use unprotected battery's in our lasers. Protected battery's I believe for the most part means that they shut down before over discharging.
Nothing wrong with unprotected battery's as long as you keep a eye on there voltage and "protected" battery's are a tiny bit longer and can cause fit issues.
I would go with the "button top" Efests.

OK thaks I hope they ll be delivered before Christmas

 

[leon1603]

Oh well i found that the only shop what has those exact batteries have only ONE battery left, and i need two :cryyy:

 

[leon1603]
