ok so I have about 3 18650's , 6 16340 and 2 10440 and recently I have found it really hard to charge them.
they are all at about 3v now, and when I got them they used to charge in about half a hour to 4.2v.
just to describe the problem, today i had my 10440 battery in the charger at 3:00pm. It measured 3.4v on my multimeter. Now, about 8 hours later, it has gone to 3.41v (WTH). all my batteries are acting like this. Is it the charger or the batteries?
the charger is the one lazerer sells, and the batteries are either ultrafire or trustfire. I know i shouldnt expect much from these cheap items, but I'm kinda bummer that they have malfunctioned already.
And I have to charge these in my room, I have heard so many reports of the batteries exploding, is this possible? and will they explode as in fire, flames, bangs or just release smoke and hiss?
thanks for any help
