Can I use my 1850 chargers for lithium AA/AAA batteries ?

[Winblows]

I have some new Energizer ULTIMATE lithium AA batteries.
Can I use my Nitecore UM20, i20 and Efest LUC Mini for charging lithium AA/AAA batteries?
Can I charge any lithium AA/AAA in any charger designed for lithium batteries?

I don't think so. AA/AAA batteries are around 1.5V. I don't think they'd take kindly to being charged to 4.2V. Unless the charger has a setting specifically for that sort of batter, don't do it!

Only if the charger is specifically designed to do so. Read your owners manual for each charger. If no mention of the smaller batteries is made, then they are not designed for use with rechargable AA/AAA batteries.

My intellicharger i4 is the only one of my 3 chargers that will charge my aa/aaa batteries.

I have a sneaking suspicion, Trying to recharge single use lithium cells is a really, really bad idea.

Some will some won't; RTFM. Do not attempt to recharge single-use cells. Only those intended for home recharge use can be safely recharged.

There are several Lithium rechargeable batteries in AA/AAA size. they are better for cameras as they are 1.5v instead of the Nicad 1.2v

OK folks, it looks complicated, I better don't (recharge).
Thanks All!

Be very careful in choosing a charger for AA, AAA batteries. Some are Lithium and others are NiMh or NiCad. There's a huge difference in charging requirements.

The chargers for Lithium rechargeable are specialty chargers designed for lithium AA batteries. If it's not meant to charge them they will overheat because the charger doesn't recognize them properly.
