I have a charger from lazerer and it never blew up or burned my house down.

I have a charger from lazerer and it never blew up or burned my house down.

YET.....thats like me saying well its safe to store propane tanks next to bonfires, i do that with mine and they haven't blown up

you want proof these chargers suck? do a search for cheap chargers on this site or just look at THIS thread. please let me know how that is safe to use.

just because something hasnt happened to you, YET, doesnt mean it wont happen or the product is safe to use. look at all the medical remedies from the past and how many of those have been proven to kill people but they didnt know any better.......cigarettes are a prime example. used to be the norm but now they have been proven to kill people

:tsk: throw your charger out now or just wait until it blows out and becomes a fire hazard

I've seen that thread. I believe his issue was his wall outputs were over 120W. This will fry most chargers. They are not meant to handle over 120W.

 

[Livinloud]

He is in CT......we have 120V mains here in the USA :thinking:

 

[LightAmplificator]

USA garages have above 120V...

 

[Livinloud]

yeah i have a 220V in my garage but those chargers can plug into that.....110V and 220V have different plug layouts.

LightAmplificator, just listen to LivinLoud, sorry but he's right, those chargers are very dangerous and not worth the risk.

yeah, I had a charger I got off ebay which I realize is probably just as worse. I did watch it the whole time while it was charging though to make sure there wasn't a problem. I'll probably get a better one soon.

 

[lazerphase]

Here's a good charger. This is good for a one time buy and you won't have to worry about other battery chargers cause this does all kinds.

I have tested lazerer glasses on a 300mw green on an LPM and it lets 1mw through. They are pretty good for the price. As for the charger, If you haven't purchested them from Livincloud, you should. The nitecore chargers are amazing!!!

 

[Jizzanthapus]

Yeah I got a pair, they seems to work great, although I wouldn't really know. The laser smokes anything that's black and pops balloons instantly, buy I can't get it to light a match, I don't think I'm focusing it correctly. Do you focus it all the way for a tighter beam or do you need to find the right spot or something?

wow, the whole charger things bugs me, next payday Im going to pick up a nitecore, and panasonic batteries. even tho my laser was only 40 bucks(I factor in shipping) I want it to last a long time.
