Best multicharger? And magnet spacer question.

[drewbalicious]

Right now I'm using a Trustfire Multifunctional charger model TR-001. It works good and all but I'd like to be able to charge more than 2 batteries at a time, but I'm still a newb and don't really know what to look for.

So I need some recommendations from the more advanced users out there.

One more question about magnetic spacers. Can they be used in chargers or only when using batteries in a mod? I ask because I have 4 UltraFire TR15270-600mAh 3.0V batteries that do not fit in my aforementioned charger and I was wondering if the spacers worked with the charger.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ECF!

Pila is a real good one but it costs a bit.

I did as much research on this as possible and decided on the Xtar wp2 II. Reason I chose this over all the others is it's two independent channels (the wp6 isn't, it alternates between two cells in the three sections). It also allows for 1000 mA charging where others are around 500-650 mA. That makes for less time on the charger. 18650's can take up to 8 hours charging at 500 mA's. It follows the cc/cv curve which is the best way to charge Li-ion batteries. And it stops just short of 4.2 volts so it should make for more charges then those that push it to the max.

And it can be had for less then $20.

Pila is the best I have heard about.

Currently im using a 5 port powered usb hub, just hooked to power and 4 usb chargers. Not elegant but it works so far, and has a max combined output of 1amp. And I have that hooked to a timer set to turn off at 2.5 hrs quick is about 10 min after the ready light comes on.

Thanks for the info everyone! I went ahead and ordered myself a Xtar WP6 II from ebay. Comes with spacers so I shouldn't have to worry about the magnetic spacers. Thanks again folks.
