Charger for strange 18650

So my dad works for a home detention company and their equipment takes weird 18650s that have both the positive pole and negative pole on the same side. It looks like a bullseye pattern. Well he was asking if I could ask around and see if anyone knew where I could find a charger for it. I will try and post a picture later. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have any pictures of it? Can you double check that it is lion?

Edit: Does it look kinda like this?

Also how many does he need to charge at a time?


Those are the pictures he sent me. If you need more I can have him take more. Also, he would like it to charge at least 2 at a time but 4 would be better if possible.

Ok, for that it would probably be best to find the charger meant to charge them as a hobby charger would have trouble connecting to such a small section. Does the wrapper list a product number or something like that?

I will have to get back to you on that one. Have you ever seen a battery like that?

I never have, but agree with scaru, looks like it needs a dedicated charger that was designed to work with that battery.

Nope, what is it used for?

wow, four connections :open_mouth: WTF?! :open_mouth: 2 negative and 2 positive?

Ya its weird. Its used in a home monitoring gps unit. An ankle bracelet.

it is designed for specific use. i doubt u find any retail item to charger that might need something custom made ?

It says on it "use only specified BI charger" so there is a charger but it is kinda hard to find it without a product number or something of that sort.
