So this is day 2 of odd ball fun that i am sure i am missing something about.....
Yesterday:
Trust Fire TR-001 charger: two 16340 AW IMR batteries. Pulled them off the charger and metered at 4.44V, then volt metered them all day. In my signature you will see a video of them spiking to 6.06 volts (i tossed them outside in the dumpster at that point) -- that situation was taken care of....and not really a worry per say
Today
Got a xtar WP6II charger, used 4 spacers to charge one 16340 aw imr battery, waited for the light to turn green, pulled it off the charger, got a 4.21V reading....not too bad. Charged the second battery (as the charger came with 6 spacers, but i needed four again for a 16340)....charged the second battery, light went green, pulled it off the charger and got a 4.32V reading
To make sure it was not mt master craft volt meter, tested some trust fire's (getting a reading of 3.62V) and then the ego pass through fully charged (3.34V). Next i tested the first aw imr battery and i now get a 4.33V reading, while the second battery gives me 4.33V (just took a picture, and will include what i am getting reading wise)
Now i know better then to slide them into my mod at this point and use them, and i know i cannot say it is the charger as i just swapped them out.....so what the am i missing here? i mean to shed all doubt i will go buy a second volt meter and comare that way
