HELP! Need charger advice

Batteries and Chargers Chargers
1

—-Total Newbie—

I have a few lights with 18650 batteries and 26650 batteries. Like any newbie, I went to ebay and had a $8 charger shipped to me that could charge both. I just purchased a new rifle scope that uses (and abuses) AA batteries. I also have a scope that uses the CR123 batteries.

I am at the point where I need to make a decent purchase of batteries (thats easier to research) and a charger. What is a charger that will do the rechargable AA’s upt to the 26650s?

The Lii-100 is good & cheap as chips, Lii-202 nice too; up there there's the Lii-500, probably the top sales charger for the money.

There are more expensive ones but, how much budget?

I just looked at ebay. There is an LII-500 engineer, Buy it Now for $7.98!

Should I jump on it?

Smells bad, in my opinion. Too cheap, and dubious seller.

Cheers :-)

Very Good point. Ill snag one of the ones for about $23. Seems to be a bunch in that price!

Thanks again BLF!!!

Search for Lii-500 on that thread. There could be some better offers in other retailers like GearBest or AliExpress if you know where to buy.

Cheers ^:)

The new MiBoxer C4-12 is a darn nice charger. A little more money than what your looking at, but it will charge just about anything including the new 21700’s, and it’s built like a tank

I had an Authentic Hong Dong once.

The Zanflare C4 is also a nice option. Usually goes for $24 at GB, but you can have it for a little less if you have some patience and if you hunt for some coupons.

Have you considered the Nitecore i2 Intellicharger?

Here’s the review HKJ did earlier in the year: Test/review of Charger Nitecore Intellicharger new i2 2016, updated version.

I have the previous version that I use on trips for charging AAAs up to 18650s and it works great. Looks like you can get for around $12 on Amazon.

yes i can recommend the nitecore i2, very nice charger so far seems to get the job done. And it doesnt cost much on ebay or whatever buy…
