CR2 Battery Charger

[Richie G]

It looks like I'm going to need one.

When I ordered ALL my batteries from Deal Extreme I ordered the CR2 charger than David provided the link to, plus the batteries for 3.7 volt vaping for the SS, the batteries for the T2 and the aforementioned CR2s. One fell swoop of an order, I thought.

Well, it looks like the charger is going to be a no show. My stuff was to come in two separate shipments according to DE. The charger was supposed to be in shipment #1 with the CR2s. It wasn't. The following day I received shipment #2, the T2 batts and nothing else. So unless there is a third shipment, which I doubt, I'm charger-less.

In order to make a claim with DE that something is missing from an order, one needs to provide pictures/photos of the envelope that it was shipped in. Apparently there are some sort of scan graphics on the envelope that relates to what is supposedly in the envelope? Yeah, well... I chucked those out. It's a $5-ish item and I just don't have the patience to deal with customer service to get it corrected.

So... other than DE, and preferably in the USA, where do I get a 3 volt charger for my CR2s? I'd like a charger that does 3.7 volts as well as 3 volts -- and if it charges LifePOs (if I choose to go that way) as well as LiIons it would be way cool.

Link me please. =) Thanks guys...

Hey Richie
Bummer on not getting the charger but don't loose hope.
If you can't find one, let me know and I will send you a loaner.
(Couldn't let my list backup be without a charger.)

For the stubby batteries, I use an Ultrafire WF-138. It is switchable from 3v to 3.7 and charges CR2 and 123a batteries. For everything else, I am using the Trustfire TR-001.

I got my WF-138 chargers from Lighthound but just checked and they are out of stock. You can probably run a search and come up with one.

I haven't used South Summit, or the charger they list, but have heard they are quick to ship.

Just checked Battery Junction and looks like you may be in luck.

Crap
Ignore the post above
They use the same number for two chargers. That one is for the AA / AAA size batteries

Another possibility.

P.S. You will need a spacer for the CR2s. The magnet spacers are best but anything will do.

these chargers mentioned are not for 3v charging. only 3.7

I picked up 12 CR2's and a couple of chargers on eBay. Yes, the seller was in HK, but the goods came through faster than Deal Extreme. A side note...as a 6 volt vaper myself, I recommend that you have at least three chargers and a dozen cells on hand if you vape moderately to heavily. I generally have all three of my chargers running during a typical day.

Hey Doots
These chargers have a switch on the side. They will charge 3v or 3.7.
I have a couple and they work great.

Edit:
Unless you were thinking of the one I entered in error. (The one for AA /AAA size batteries - ignore that one. LOL)

 

[doots]

ok Pipes. my apologies. I didnt see anything mentioned about that on the site.

Also I was going to tell the OP to maybe write to altsmoke(email) and see if they have a charger they would sell him. Maybe save some time..

I appreciate the thought and offer, Bob. But, I'm going to be okay. I have a few weeks before the SS gets here and I have plenty of 14500s. TY just the same.

Ooooh. Me likey....

Is this the magnetic spacer for the CR2s? It says it's 8 mm in diameter. A little small but it will work, yes?

[Uncle Pennybags]

AtmosUSA has CR2 chargers.

As mine work, you have to make up the difference in length between a 123a and CR2. (Since both batteries will fit.)
The spacers that came with mine are 5mm thick. You could probably get away with a little less, but don't think 1mm will do the trick.
