battery/charger question

[dragonlover]

Hi all!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving
Quick question-I'm thinking about getting a Reo Mini, I know that the AW IMR batteries are the best to get, I have this battery charger-AG-126 Lithium Ion Battery Charger

Do I need to get a different one or will this one work?

Thanks!

Cool!!! thank you very much! I do have a Reo Grand that I won but its kinda big for me--I'm like 100lbs soaking wet lol and thought the mini would be just the right size! Love my Reo though don't get me wrong just hard to drive with it in my hand -oops one more question--I have quite a few trustfire blue batteries would they work until i was able to get the IMR's?

If you're gonna use AW IMR 14500's (and you should) be aware that they're 600 mAh batteries and that charger charges at 650 milliamps output. I wouldn't recommend using that charger since the output is higher than the mAh of the batteries you'll be using. You don't want the charge rate to exceed the mAh of the batteries.

Consider getting a TR-001 (500 milliamp output) and keeping your AG-126 as a backup charger.

Nice catch Tripp! I was looking that the size and the stated batteries. Did not check the charging rate! Thanks for your input, and advice!

Thanks again guys! Now to hope that my husband gets enough overtime in! It was actually a toss up between a provari and a mini but seeing how much i love my grand and the fact that i have a TON of lr cartos and only lr attys(which i hear don't "play nice" with the provari) I'm thinking i will def. be happier with the mini!

Super T is a great vendor among many. Check their subforum to see if they have any coupons or sales active. Even if they don't, their prices and shipping rates are very reasonable.

Another good vendor for product price & cheap fast shipping is AW IMR 14500

I have bought many chargers over a short period and wish I would've bought the Ultrafire WF-188 1st. It does it all 3v and 3.7v and also does 300mA or 650mA so no matter what you decide in the future (like trying out 6v vapin) your covered. I got mine off e-bay for $18.95 w/free shipping from a guy out of Utah. There is cheaper ones but they come from China and take forever to get here Just saying
