charger for AW IMRs

[Domtine]

The ultimate noob question.

Must AW IMRs be charged with Pila chargers? Anyone tried charging AW IMRs with Cinergy charger from black tactical?

Pila chargers are charging much more faster. I've the normal charger that got it from trustfire, charging time on the AW IMR 2000mah takes 6-7 hours while Pila Charger takes less than 3 hours.

@Karl: If the cinergy chargers in question is the 2slot for $20/- and 4slot for $30/- type from Blacktactical, then yes. I've been using my AW IMR 18650s and 18350s with it.

As you always put it: Works like a boss.

4 slots is the best imo. Cycle through batteries so you wont have to worry about long charging time.

@curry are you alright? Lol

I use the 2 slot charger from BT. Long charging time and good so far. I cycle 3 batts around so it's all good.

Remember, for your batts to last the longest, you shouldnt stress them. Charging on high voltages stresses the batts. I would say charge them using the trustfire charger (they charge at 4.1..... volts 0.5amps, .... because every charger varies in voltage) for normal use and high current charges for a quick charge. I personally run 2 18650 2600mph batts and they would get me through a day very easily, then charge the spent batts over night

Slow charging is good and I would agreed. However sometimes you need the battery just before you leave your house. This turns into a sticky situation. I've never leave my charger overnight, you never know what will happen to your battery and charger.

True that. Then use a quick charger when in sticky suituation. Or, have more batts. Lol. The Trustfire has overcharge protection. I've not gone through any problems do far.

Personal experience: I have a generic protected 18650 2900mAh generic EGO. Using a 4.2V 420mAh generic EGO charger even after charging overnight it still shows charging. On the Cinergy 4.2V 500mAh it charged in 3hrs.
