TL;DR: Is it worth getting a charger that can stop at less than 4.2 volts?
I use a fairly dumb nitecore charger for my 18650s. I like to take the batteries out before they reach 4.2 volts, but I don't always get there in time.
- I vape at low power (typically < 10 watts).
- The batteries recharge at 0.5 amps. Speed's not an issue.
- I normally set them aside for recharge when they drop to about 3.6 volts (ish).
- I don't expect them to last forever, and periodically buy new ones - just for the hell of it.
Are posh/ultra flexible chargers worth it?
TIA!
