Looking for the BEST battery charger to charge up to four 18650-26650 at a time. As a minumum, must have LED indicators though digital readout is preferable. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
A hobby charger is your only option, there aren’t any chargers that I know of which can fit 4x26650.
What about an i4…but that will take serious time.
I have Soshine SC-S1 max 4 bay charger, but you can’t squeeze 4 26650 in it, only 4 18650. You might stick 2 26650 inside. Don’t know, will have to try, since I’ve got a dedicated 2 bay 26650/32650 charger.
i4 won’t fit 4x 26650.
just 2 at the same time?
please give advice
Correction…I meant four 18650 and two 26650.
I believe that the Ultrafire WF 128 can do 4 x 26650 at the same time, I can let you know when mine arrives from FastTech.

I4 gets my vote.Im looking to buy a 4 cell charger myself.Just searching for best price at the mo…
Unless I am misreading their info, that Ultrafire WF 128 does not charge the 26650 battery.n
No, it can do 4 x 18650 or probably one 26650.
Going by the FastTech site it says it can do 26650, but ultrafire.net site doesn’t make any mention of 26650, it’s not important to me as don’t have any 26650, but annoyed about the misleading ad.
NB I only checked the ultrafire site after reading these comments, hadn’t checked previously as not important for my needs.

Well got the charger today, it defo WON’T do 26650 side by side, but does say in the blurb it does do 26650, tbh they look like they would fit 2 at a time, seems to be a good charger, also does NIMH and NICD.
Charger is very pretty, charges at 800mah x 4, or 1000mah x 2, does all the sizes shapes different types I have, but 26650 I don’t have.
First impressions are good, has a very bright green power light, then each bank has a has a very bright led that is blue for charged and red flashing at a slow rate when charging.
It also does the USB output thing, and works on 12V
You can test the 26650 ability with C cells, these have almost same thickness.
I hadn’t thought of that, so just tried it, the charger will accept 26650/c cell but only 2 at a time, defo not side by side.
Now charged my first set of batteries, seems to be really good, cutting off at 4.20 exactly, a lot faster charger than me old ultrafire as well, old one rated at 450mah x 2, new one seems a lot punchier.
