Hey guys 
I am looking for a small single charger with a USB-C input. I want to charge 14500, 18650 and 21700. I found the Lii-100C - But it has a minimum of 1A which is a bit much for 14500.
Something like the Astrolux MC01 is perfect with 0.5, 1A and 2A charging. But sadly it comes with the old microUSB which is a no go for me 
Any ideas?
According to the AliExpress listings I can find, Lii-100C uses micro USB as well.
Iâve been looking for something similar, single bay 14500/18350/18650 with usb-c input and 0.5A, 1A and 2A options. Didnât find anything promising so far.
Tag me if you find one. Iâve been looking for over a year and nothing that fits all my requirements - with the Usb-c as well
yeah seems the producers of the chargers still living 10+ years behind.
I wonder what charge currents XTAR SC1 Plus has. They only spec the âMax 3Aâ, but never if or how much lower it goes. Also does not look like it can take 18350/14500. All newer USB-C capable single cell chargers are 18650/21700/26650 and 3A, no love for the smol cells.
I sometimes wonder if I should not just make one myself⌠The Electronics for a USB-C charger with 0.5/1/2/3A settings are tiny and simple. No idea about the mechanical part (slider to fit different sizes) though⌠Even with a 3D printer, not sure how to tackle that.
Couldnât you regulate the input with a 500 mAh USB block?
My guess is, these chargers donât actively negotiate and just expect the brick can deliver 3A - kicking a 500 mA brick right into overcurrent shutdown.
Also, Iâd like this as a travel charger, and my usual travel power supply is a 65W PD, so no limiting possible.
Hmm, wonder if this would be worth the effort. 18650 and 14500 on one side, 18350 on the other. Selectable charging current between 0.5/1/2/3 A, 1.5A powerbank feature.still have no idea how to build a 3d printed case around this.
87.5 * 38.5 mm
Can charge only one cell at a time (or rather, it doesnât care, but paralleling random cells at different charge levels is usually a bad idea for the cells).
Guess I could give the 18350/14500 separate charging ICs, with fixed 500 mA (14500) and 750 mA (18350) - powerbank ainât useful for those cells anyway. Also not a huge fan of how chonky it is⌠I wish there were decent ready-made âslider holdersâ.
