Looking for a better battery charger: Thinking an xtar WP2, but I'm open to suggestions

[TheHoochCow]

I just purchased my first APV mod last night (a VAMO), but the store didn't have any other chargers than the trustfire. Now I know the trustfire will do the job but it lacks some features I kinda really want in a battery charger like overcharge protection and reverse polarity protection. So I'm looking to get a quality charger. Altsmoke has the xtar WP2 which a few people on reddit have suggested to me. which does offer the two features I want in a battery charger, but before I commit and buy that I was wondering if any of you fine people have had any experience with this charger, or know of a better one.

Budget info: I'd like to stay around $30 or less for this purchase.


Edit: Ordered the Sysmax i4 at the recommendation of donesmokin and cjax. Thanks guys This thing seems to do everything the xtar WP2 does but has more battery bays and avoids the need to use spacers to charge the 18350

This is the route I went. $37 and free shipping if I remember right. No spacers needed for 18350's.

I'll check the video because my only turn off on the xtar WP2 is that I'll need spacers for the 18350s

Edit: Totally ordered this

I'll second the Intellicharger i4. I picked up the i2 for $20 off Amazon a couple months ago and was looking at the i4 today for $25 since I now have waaaay more batteries.

Got my Intellicharger i4 from GotVapes and I love it! Been using it about a month now, and no problems thus far charging my 18350 & 18650 IMR's.

The only issue I had with mine are the sticky/hard to push sliders. A little WD40 loosened them right up, and now they're smooth as butter. Also, some vendors include a free car adapter, but unfortunately GotVapes isn't one of them. No biggie, they're cheap anyway, and I don't see the need for me personally. Make sure you get a V2 (yellow sticker) because apparently the V1 (white sticker) had issues. Most vendors should have the V2 in stock, but I've seen some V1 floating around on Amazon as well.

As a side note, anyone know if this charges LiFePO4 3.2V batteries for sure? On the GotVapes website they specifically say NOT to charge these types of batteries, but on pbusardo's review he says Crystal Clear Vaping and the manufacturer say you CAN charge these types of batteries, even though there's nothing in the specifications from the manufacturer that mention it nor is it mentioned on Crystal Clear Vaping's website.

^^I thought the i4 would charge just about anything but don't take my word for it! I've got a Tenergy model 01207 you can have for the price of shipping if that'll help. Says LiFePO4 RCR123a charger on it. I've got no use for it since my Prodigy V3.1 was stolen.

Thanks for the offer, much appreciated, but I don't have an immediate need for charging these yet. I just wanted to know in case I need to in the future.
