Yep, I do night security work. Lots of lights, lots of cells, but luckily I can charge them all at once, just once a week.
BTW, the SV2 is practically half price at illumn. Iām not sure if they are a sponsor here so I wonāt post a link, but Iām sure most folks can find it just fine.
Got me 2 on the way!
I use the XTAR Rocket for my 26650ās, at 2A charge rate. Wouldāve sworn the question was about charging the 4 18650ās of the Q8 all at once at 1Aā¦
One could always buy 4 Utorch UT02ās and charge the cells at a 3A rate in the lightsā¦ 
:+1: ā¦. Your welcome, glad I coud help. 
That is a good priceā¦ you hit a homerun on that.
I was kind of asking about that, but itās been mentioned before that the Liitokala Lii-500 is a great choice. Simple and inexpensive. I was trying to make the question a bit harder looking for a similar power charger but holding 4 of the bigger 26650 cells.
Maybe in the future charger companies will realize they can increase sales, just by using a slightly larger housing to fit 4 big cells.
All 88 got it, they do 8 at a time, 1A to each, regardless of size (that is, if you select 1A, goes lower too and they do NiMH as well). I have 3 of em, if I can work em, anyone can!
I was looking at it and it does seem pretty complicated. One thing that made me pause was that the terminating voltage from the All 88 tended to vary from 4.14 volt to 4.19 volt (according to HKJās test). I donāt think itās a big deal in the real world, but I wish it was a bit more consistent. Does it bother you any?
It would be a great choice for these guys who are buying 2 of the Q8ās. Charge all 8 cells at 1A at the same time.
Yes, thatās trueā¦ but itās been pretty much true across the board from my experience. My Efest LUC chargers terminate early, my Opus C3100 V 2.2 terminates early, Iāve bought new chargers many time for this reason. When I modify a light I go to great lengths to reduce internal resistance everywhere I find it, I donāt do all that just to put a cell in it at 4.17V and see what it does with a short cell! Still, for those heading back out into the night these chargers are viable options.
For me, quoting the numerous builds I do, I want a consistent 4.20V on my cells.
If you want to charge 8 cells, all 18650ās that want 1A charge rate, you put them in, you adjust the first one to 4.2V and 1A, then you press and hold the two center buttons and all 8 cells snyc up and charge the same. Simple.
āAll 88ā = This ā¦. for those of us who may be semi uninformed.

Thatās really not how BLF works. Itās just a weird policy on an unrelated for-profit forum. People donāt get banned here for that sort of thing. So feel free to post links to whatever, as long as itās not spam or malware or something.
In any case, Illumn is good people and theyāre respected on BLF.
GyrFalcon at Mountain Electronics, Richard of course is known and loved by us all! 
All-80 at Mountain Electronics This one charges all 8 at 650mA and is cheaper.
Heās out of stock on each at the moment, but these are chargers he uses personally at his shop so you know theyāre thoroughly vetted.
Meanwhile, I specifically seek out chargers which terminate a little early. My D2 stops at 4.18V and I think itās just right. Iād much rather have a charger stop a little early instead of a little late. I donāt like gifting to others if I know itās going to charge until 4.23V, because itāll kill their batteries faster.
A little early cutoff is good for cells right. Though I donāt think the lii500 cuts it off early
Haha TK pix2pix is actually pretty impressive imho
Add one more for me thank you! (2 total)
I am number 1346 in the list.
MiBoxer is supposed to be having a new charger coming out, the C2-4000, that will do 4 x 26650 at 2A each charge rate.
It should also do 4 x 2A discharge rate & show capacity & IR on all 4 slots from what I have been led to believe.
They have just started a thread about it in the charger forum although the pictures do not show Miboxer new charger release C2 4000 & there is no spec listed as yet.
It might be worth looking at for those that want to charge 4 x 26650ās simultaneously & at 2A.
that thread shows a dual bay charger, the MiBoxer website has 1 quad bay but that does not seem to be able to take 4 x 26650
Yeah, I think the C2 means 2 cells, while the C4 has 4 cells.
I sold my VC4 recently because it charged to 4.22v. I have killed cells before charging them to 4.3v by mistake, only took once and they were all but useless after. So I now charge my cells a bit under, usually around 4.15v and donāt worry about it. There is so little energy available above 4.1V it really doesnāt matter unless you are chasing high numbers for those first few seconds.
I tend to quit using a charger that wonāt put 4.22V in a good high discharge cell.
