Charging 14500 Battaries on Intellicharge i4 v2

Batteries and Chargers Chargers
1

Hey guys!
I just recieved my Intellicharge i4 V2 charger and was wondering if its safe to charge my Trustfire flames and KeepPower 14500 battaries using that charger?
Or i am better off charging all my 14500 cells on my Trustfire TR001 charger?

Thanks in advance

I think that as long as you use slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 together you are fine. Same goes for RCR123.

Aaaah so if i use slots 1-3 or 2-4 the charger current will be 500 instead of 750? is that confirmed 100%?

Slots 1 and 3 are shared current. Slots 2 and 4 are the same.

So it is suggested you charge them in pairs using these slots.

1 and 3 OR 2 and 4.

Its a shared 750. It should split that if both slots are used.

Thanks for the replies.
I currently have my Trustfire Flames in Slots 1 and 3 and my Keeppowers in Slots 2 and 4.
When checking the current its showing 750A on each slot ><
not sure if i am measuring correctly (using INNOVA 3320)

I think they meant to use 1/3 or 2/4 for charging 2 batteries at a time. If you are doing 4, put the 2 TFs in bays 1/2 and the KPs in 3/4. It cuts the charging voltage in half when you use 2 bays together.

Hmmm Using the Innova 3320 Multimeter i get 750A reading from all slots while having both trustfires on slots 1 and 2 and both keeppowers on slots 3 and 4 :open_mouth:
Am measuring it by having the Red Lead into the DC10A port and the Black Lead into the COM port, and having the switch on DC10A

I re-read the review by HKJ - take a look at his response to a question by Garry. Not truly cutting the current in half, but the time. Also, I was mistaken, 1/3 is one channel, 2/4 is the other. I should know better than to give advice on electronics.

750mA is fine for 840mAh Keeppower cells, I’m not sure on true capacity of TrustFire’s though.

hahah thanks for the link bro :slight_smile:
I guess my readings was correct. Ill just leave the trustfires on channels 1 and 3 and keeppowers on 2 and 4.

Actually the Keepowers are 800mAh and the trustfires are supposedly 900mAh which i highly doubt

12

Keeppowers use Sanyo UR14500P cell, it’s min. 800mAh / nominal 840mAh.

Thanks for the clarification sir :smiley:
