If it is 1 amp per bay it would be good, if it is 1 amp in total (0.5 amp a bay) it still would be a lot quicker to use the single bay charger i reviewed.
At lest it too has a common power cord easy for us Aussie's to swap out, same for the guys in Europe And it looks like it has a female plug on the side for 12 volt cigarette lighter.
King Kong Raised Top INR26650's: Total length 68.05mm, diameter 26.33mm. Battery is a tight fit in the ML-102 charger with just a mm or two to spare. Here are photos:
Subtract thickness of the plastic disc:
Distance between contacts with no pressure:
Distance between contacts spreading as far as I can by hand (notice it's not even spread to the length of the King Kong yet):
With a 2400 mAh Trustfire Flame (cradled in very nicely):
I don't see any reason that I can't file down the rolled edges of the charger to better accommodate this raised top King Kong. I can leave enough of the rolled edge to still firmly hold an 18650 (maybe file the edges down at the top and bottom to about the same level as the middle.
First use of one of my ML102 chargers. Charged up my King Kong INR26650 and terminated at 4.19v measured with a cheap DMM. I then disconnected from the wall adaptor and plugged in my iPhone 3GS to see if it would start charging and it didn't at first. I removed the battery from the charger and placed it back in and it finally started charging.
Here's a photo showing my temporary solution to the raised top cell popping up out of the cradle (a rubber band):
I got the same reply earlier today, it would be a good buy to me if you needed a 26650 charger a big bonus would be it does not have a fixed power cord like some or an external power supply with a foreign country wall plug and maybe (looks like) if it takes cigarette lighter cord with a small male plug of the end as i have heaps of spares of both.
But i use my iCharger 106B+ with 240 volt and 12 volt plus for charging/discharging all my batteries, i plan to gift the charger i reviewed after a few more uses to make sure its OK to give to some body.
True, but 4Sevens has a disclaimer on the site stating their charger is only designed to charge their 26650's correctly. That's the only reason I mention it.
I love me some Lighthound! Some of the best guys in the biz with great prices and unsurpassed punctuality and customer service, and my #1 go to company for sure. But I've had lots of trouble with the 3.5aH 26650 IMRs they sell. Maybe it's a bad batch, or maybe the cells are fine and I'm just doing something wrong, but 3 of the last 5 I bought from them leaked. 1 leaked on the initial charge (other 2 didn't), then 1 leaked for no apparent reason after the second charge, and 1 leaking in transport before it even got to my house. Very strange.
