Best charger for the money.

OK other than the $50 Pila charger what is a good charger to have.

I currently have the Trustfire TR001 and like it but was looking at these TR003P4 4 Channel charger but It is a slower charger than I wanted. I will go back to using my TR001.

I wanted to get the members input on what chargers they use and like, the pros and cons, yada yada.

 

Ultrafire WF-188. Two channel, 3v and 3.7v.

 

How much time does it take to charge an 18650?? say one of those 2250s you have.

Also might wanna look at this

Can't make heads or tails of that. All I know is that I have two of them, and have been very happy with them.

 

good deal!

 

I have always used the Tr-001 charger and never really had any issues with it. That is also the charger I recommend beginners get as well

 

TR-001's great. I've got one of them. I like having the WF-188 since it can handle both my 3.7 and 3v batteries.

 

I have a buch, none of them top of the line (WF, tenergy), but with all the charging I do I have 4 going normally........

 

I like the WF-138 for LifeP04's and 18350's, the WF-139 for 18650's to 14500's. I only bought the TRO-003 P4 because you did and because it was dirt cheap.:laugh:

 

138,139 and TR1 all good. Also brought this one:

XTAR WP6 Charger for 6X14650/18650/18700 W/ Car adaptor | eBay

 

Yeah I have been looking at that one too. Looks like a decent performer.

 

Looks interesting -- but I'll keep buying them off the classys cheap!!!:laugh:

 

My impressions on it. Solid but a bit of a pain with smaller batteries moving those post things around and 4.2V only.

 

Yeah if I messed with smaller batteries then I think it might be a little fiddley. I mainly use 18650s with 1.5-1.8Ω 510 and Mini 801 atties.

I could make spacers that were eaier to use in that though, easy peasey.

 

I must admit my favorite is the Pila. I use mainly the AW 18650s and they are fully charged in three hours or less. (imo)

 

i have a pila and want to know if i can use stacked pennies for spacers. do i dare?

 

I went online and got some approriate sized rare earth magnets.

 

I've used dimes with no problems. I've also stacked the spacers that come with it.

 

Hey bag I believe thats the way they show it in the instructions (stack the spacers ) But who read instructions Right?

 

The 6 bay charger I linked is now dead (maybe from a wet environment, unsure). Pulled it apart and it is very well put together inside. Contacted the ebay seller and he's indicated he will back it up for 24 months.
