Unfortunately most of the low end chargers over charge or trickle charge, the key here is to keep and eye on them and do not leave any battery on any charger charging over night, its not recommended and its the best way to avoid this, but 0.02 volt is OK it will not hurt the cell and the protection on protected cell's does not kick in till around 4.35 volt's.
The charger you linked only charge's at 0.65 amps thats a bit low and would be really really slow for charging 26650,s the one in this review charges at 1.5 amps and would charge 3 x 26650's in the time the charger you linked could charge just over 1 x 26650. Plus it look's like you would have to cut of the plug and add your own say if you need a EU or AU plug so it might only be suitable to US buyers. Not just use an old power cord you had sitting around your house and plug it into the charger like i did. It will take approx 15 + hours to charge a fully depleted 26650 with the charger you linked. Do not leave any charger on over night or unattended.
Ive been using this a lot to make sure it is good enough to give to my old man as a gift, did not want to give him a dodgy charge, but ive been very happy with the charging time and performance for the price. So IMO it is ready to gift and ill go back to using my hobby charger the icharger 106b+.
Ordered mine form DX 09/05/12. Received 10/10/12.
Mine also came with USA power cord only. There was smoke on my first charge, probably from grease. Disassembled it and cleaned everything, it’s working ok now. It runs hot until battery reaches ~3.5V, then it starts to cool down. According to my DMM it’s charging at 1.22A.
I just tried testing current on anything for the first time. I'm not happy.
The TR-005 from Manafont is doing 0.79A.
The TR-005 from Fasttech is doing 0.85A.
This is a lot lower than the claim. Would someone test their charger so I have results to compare against?
I used HKJ's method called "Charge current" near the bottom of the page. Notable variables/differences: Aluminum foil came from a disposable dish. I'm using the leads that came with the multimeter, a Mastech MS8268. Batteries were brand new King Kong flat top ICR26650's from Fasttech. Initial voltage for the cells in the chargers from Manafont and Fasttech were 3.80V and 3.81V, respectively.
