On sale @ Fry’s, is this a good deal for someone just getting into Lithium batteries?

I just recently discovered laptop battery pack pulls from here, more on that later. I picked up a Trustfire TR-001 from the local ecig shop for $12. It’s charging the pack pulls nicely but really slow, 12-20 hrs. I suspect this Tenergy charger will be just as slow charging but this one has car plug and the batteries are protected. Let me know what you think. Also looking for some storage boxes for the 18650 cells I’m pulling.

Thanks!

It's a decent price if the quality is good. The website says it's at my Fry's, but I didn't see it there a couple days ago.

I just gave that same charger to a friend to get him started with 18650’s.I never really liked it and I guess he didn’t either since he just ordered another charger.Very slow charging, won’t start charging until the battery is below 3.9 or so volts and makes a high pitched wine.The Tenergy cells though, are very good and a great deal for the price you can get them in the US.-Rick

For around $20 you can get a Miller and 2 panasonics from Fastech.

thats a good “in store” deal - if someone wishes to pick up batteries locally rather than order online
