So i just got the nitecore 1a charger in the mail today for my 18650. Previously i was using the usb charger to charge it on my ipv mini 2 but i haven't tried the nitecore yet. about how long would it take to charge this battery on my nitecore?

I have the nitecore i2 charger, and it usually takes about 3-5 hours for my batteries to charge from about 3.6v
Have the nitecore i4 and I've never timed it , so I'll go with Lessifer.
Even if i had a mod with inbuilt charging I would still use a separate charger. Well except for something with an inbuilt battery.

Yeah, that's a bit of a guesstimate. My charger sits on a table across the room from my couch, in my line of site, and I just wait for it to stop blinking.
im not sure what volts mine was at when i starting charging it but it was almost dead. i have a 2500mah battery and it went from almost dead to fully charged in 3 hours and ~15 minutes. definitely faster than it was previously charging. i heard the 2a chargers can fully charge one battery in less than two hours
new batteries seem to take a bit longer to charge than ones that have been already charged several times....
Batteries have a charging rating. Slow is generally better as it will lengthen the life.
For ribs... start at 10:00 end around 6:00 there is no fast way.
If I see my Nitecore blinking I take my battery off. Best time to stop charging in terms of battery longevity and battery anyway is almost full. Unfortunately I rarely pay attention to the charger.
I just check it. When I put the batteries in, I think of when I HAVE TO take them out also. if 4-5 hours is 2pm, I seem to remember better if I knopw to check it at 2pm.
I have never had a problem, it sits on a hard to burn counter.

I have an i4. Slots 1 and 3 charge together, as do slots 2 and 4. If I'm only charging one battery, it goes faster. But, if I'm doing two, its a good 4-5 hours. Smaller batteries charge faster as well.
Mine has three separate lights that can blink for each bay, showing the progression of the charge.
I'm also looking to purchase a nitecore charger prolly the I2 or the d4 , cNt really tell much DIFFERENCES bTW the 2x
Other than the obvious 2bay, 4bay, the I2 has leds to indicate charge status while the D4 has a digital display. Other than that the cost.
Sorry I meant Nitecore I4 & D4 , I defy see my self wanting to charge 4 battery at the time
My I4 says - .75A with 1-2 batteries, .375A with 3-4 batteries. I'd suspect the same from the D4 but ..........
Yes, I have the same one. I just forgot to say that two other lights should be on and not blinking.
I've never tried this, what voltage are they at with just the 3rd light blinking?
