Welcome to ECF webmaxed...

The have a spring loaded sliding bar, so they'll charge anything (within the listed cavity range) from 18650 down to 18350.

"Works with most any cylindrical Li-Ion 3.7 volt batteries: 18650, 18500, 18350,17670, 16340, 14650, 14500, 14430, 10440".

Merry Christmas!

Got the same one sitting here beside me, been using it since 2010, does 18650's down to 10440's! You should be fine.

that model is a little slow to charge (which is better for your batteries)
do not charge batteries when you are not at home or are sleeping
remove batteries when charging is complete (do NOT leave in charger for days on end)
also get some little plastic battery boxes to keep your batteries in (or any small plastic craft organizer will work)

I personally use the nitecore intellicharger now as my main charger because it is a little quicker charger
