Neither the Ultrafire nor the Trustfire fit into the chargers. The batteries are just too long.
I know there is now standard size for 18650 batteries (right?) but at leats I´d expect them to fit int the chargers. They are about 69mm long.
I had the WF-139 first and the 18650s did not fit so I ordered another very cheap charger just to see if it could handle the batteries. But now way, they won´t fit.
Is there any cheap charger that can handle these long batteries?
I need another 1 or 2 18650 batteries + charger (that fits!). Any recommendations from fasttech? The cheaper the better. It´s for my brother who won´t use them 24/7.
How about the "Miller" ML-102 (or other ML-10X models) at FastTech? Cheap, well regarded and compact. They do require a USB cable and USB A/C adapter - both available at FastTech. I use the Apple small square "clones" that are cheap. I have two ML-102's and all my batteries fit.
Little off topic, according to Wikipedia, official designation of protected 18650’s should be 19670:
I wonder whether we should expect from some cheapo charger manufacturers to add to their product info that their chargers wont accept 19670(protected 18650) :D?
Yeah, Ive seen people reporting different sizes for different protected batteries, I thought I post that it has been somehow aknowledged by Wiki and that perhaps we should take those cheap charger descriptions with a grain of salt :D!
