Ok gang I'm having a little trouble on figuring out which battery charger I should use with AW IMR high drain 18650.
Specific charger models would help.
Than you,

Any 3.7 volt lithium battery charger that will take an 18650 size battery will work fine:
Pila charger, Ultrafire WF-188, Trustfire TR-001, etc
I have the WF-188 and I used it at 3.7v, 300ma instead of 650ma and it didn't hold. It went on the charger for about 5 hrs then turned green. It stayed powered up for about 10 minutes on a AW IMR high drain 18650. Tried it again and it was on for 5hrs again and its working so far. Just wanting a better charger
I think the IMRs are typically lithium manganese dioxide, and yes you can charge them in any of your standard li-ion chargers (like those mentioned in this thread). I know they're capable of higher discharge rates than standard li-ions, so I would assume they can also handle higher charging rates, but I'm no expert so don't quote me on that . . .
i have a hobby grade charger that does;
Li-Po / Li-ion / Li-Fe
Ni-Cd / Ni-Mh
PB (lead acid)
are the IMR's related to any of these chemistries?
does the general vaping public use use the same chargers for IMR as they do for Li-Ion?
can they handle a 1C charge rate? higher/lower?
I was under the assumption that they are a Lithium type battery, but i have never seen them used in RC's so i am not familiar with them.
i would love to use my charger instead of having to purchase a cheap overnight charger, just for IMR's....
my reason for using a hobby grade charger...
being able to safely charge six 2900mAh 18650 simultaneously in less than 2 hours
*Charger is a GT Power A6-10 the downside, it is not plug and play, you need a quality power supply(not a 5A modified PC power supply...) , AND you have to create a charging cradle with a balance port, to charge the individual cells properly.
