I am using good Panasonic batteries & am charging them with the WF-139. It appears this charger does not use cc/cv charging method (or does it?). Will this charger harm my good Panasonic batteries? Shorten their life? Not fully charge them? Any caveats with using this charger? I looked around & didn’t find pertinent info. Thanks much for any enlightenment on this matter as I do not wish to harm my good batts. Plus, if this charger is not good, it will give me a good excuse for buying a new charger lol.
I don’t have one, so can’t speak directly to it’s quality, but most reports about the WF-139 are fairly positive. For an inexpensive charger, I would say it’s an ok one. As long as your batteries come off the charger at 4.2 or fewer volts, then it’s not harming your cells at all.
Thanks pilotPTK/iron tater LOL. Now I don’t have a excuse for buying another charger (drats). Hey, now I can buy another light HeHe. Yes, it always comes off at 4.2. I forgot & left it charge all night (in a metal box) & next morn it was 4.2. This charger never heats up & seems to do a good job. I think I will get the Xtar but now I can put if off till later since I now feel confident I am not damaging (didn’t think it was) my batts. Thanks again.
