I've charged ecig batteries with my bench power supply and it works ok, but I can't just leave it unwatched. I set it to 4.2v and adjust the current to around .8C. The current will start dropping when the cells reach roughly 4.2v. I pull it off when the current drops to about .05C.
Interestingly enough, Volt 808 auto batteries appear to have some current limiting built in because I can't get it to pull more than about .4c in stage 1.
Be careful if you can't monitor current.
