I have a Trustfire TR-001 charger that I used with my aw imr batteries for my reo. I'm wondering if it is safe to and can actually charge high drain batteries for regulated box mods and mechs.

This is the batteries:
IMR 18650 Battery 30A Orbtronic SX30 Ultra High Drain Hybrid rechargeable Li-ion | Li-Mn

This is the charger:
Amazon.com: Trustfire TR-001 Multifunctional Charger (White): Electronics

Sorry if this is a stupid question as I've never seen anything about having to have a special charger for the high drain batteries. Just wanting to make sure I'm being safe with this stuff...

Yes, you can use that charger the same for SX30's as for AW's.

It is however not considered a good charger. I would buy a better one to use as my main charger and keep this one as backup. Here's a review of the TR-001. It does not completely stop charging so if you leave batteries in it for a while after they're done you can overcharge them. That means less life out of them and if they get really overcharged it can get dangerous.
