Chargers for batteries

[Urban Nightmare]

I know this is going to a bit hard to answer but I'll ask anyway.

I've got TrustFire multi charge (TR-001) output of 4.2v 500ma. Can I charge AW IMR 18650 2000 mAh batteries with this?

I've also got a couple of other chargers. One came with my Indulgence. It outputs 3.7v 350ma. And yet another that I got with a kit that came with my LTVV. It outputs 4.2v 600ma.

Only the TrustFire has a name. The other two are generic and I have no idea if they have internal protection curcuits. The 18650 that came with my Indulgence has LiR 3000mAh on the side but thats it. It's blue in color.

My LTVV bats are a dark red and has "MADY37 097133" on the side.

I'm also looking at getting some AW IRM bats for the VV. I'm looking for a single charger to charger them all.

Thanks

I charge 3.7v li-ion and IMR's on my TR-001 and have not had any problems.

I'll have to give it a try if nobody else posts on the subject. My biggest fear with any li-ion or IMR is over/under charge conditions.

Ultrafire WF-139 is over tr001.

Many chargers have circuitry that stops charging when the battery is full and won't charge a battery that has been drained to low. My WF-188 has it as many models do, it's also sometimes noted as a smart charger.

Even if it does have this circuitry built into the charger you want to verify it's working correctly every so often as any electronics can fail. Get a multimeter and check the battery fresh off the charger, if it's showing 4.20ish or lower everything should be functioning properly.

This compact charger works with many different lithium rechargeable battery sizes with ease. Works for all AW IMR batteries sold here.
