Efest LUC charger question

[nrandall85]

Quick question regarding the efest LUC- the instructions state that the charger will automatically switch between 500-1000ma charge dependent on battery size. So why is there an external switch to change that? Am I risking anything by simultaneously charging my Sony VTC 4 in one bay and my Efest 18350 purp in the other? I thought the charger was....smart....but I'd rather not take any risks.

Thanks!

Anyone have this charger?

I have one. Never thought of that question. I would rather only charge batteries of the same type in mine. Given how quickly it charges, I don't think that would present any logistical problem.

Dont worry. If you charge 2 batteries at the same time then the charging current is 500mA for each battery. Thats all... If you use only 1 slot then it will charge at full current which is 1A and thats safe. All modern cell phones with li-ion battery charge at 1A

Thank you. I usually charge only one at a time, since I have only one mod. However, is the USB port for an eGo charger? If so, could a person charge three batteries at once?

Thanks. I threw the box away. I remember how cute it was, but not what it said. LOL!

Thanks for the info! I try to stay at least a hair smarter than the devices I'm using, even if they claim to have a mind of their own.
