I would look into the Nitecore Intellichargers. Their biggest is four but it can charge everything from 26650s down to 18350s and even other rechargeable batteries.

I use a Nitecore I4 and I really like it. It has 4 bays and as far as I know it will charge all of the "18" series batteries. I charge 18350, 18500, and 18650's in mine.
I picked mine up at my local B&M... $29

Nitecore i4 intellicharger. I got it brand new on amaOn with car charger and extra accessories for $17!!! Works great. That's cheaper than wholesale!!! Check it out.

I use a nitecore D4, charges just about any round rechargeable battery around, although I do flip it to low power mode for smaller cells(they get too hot for my liking at full power). I love the fancy screen and all the info it gives me, but I hear it's functionally pretty identical to the I4.
I use a D4, performance is simillar to the I4, but I really like the display and I got it for about what I4s are going for.
The Efest Luc is a great charger too. I went with the Nitecore because of the price I got, and the over rating of batteries by Efest pisses me off, the charger is top notch though.

I'd recommend the Xtar XP4. Xtar has better QC and warranties. I've always read about the occasional dead Nitecore charger, never an Xtar.
Plus, all the nitecore chargers drop down to a 350mA charge as soon as you plop in more than one battery, which is painfully and obnoxiously slow for any battery above 2000mAh. The Xtar 4 bays can do 1000mA x2 and 500mA x4 charge, the difference being hours and hours quicker.
With how slow the Nitecore works, you'll get more batteries charged using one slot on an Xtar charger compared to using all four in an i4 intellicharger. Make sense?
Good luck

Actually the D4 is 750mA 1 or 2 batteries, 500mA 3-4 batteries.
Ahh, good to know. Guess the D4 stepped it up a bit eh?
Still, my personal opinion is that Xtar is pretty solid overall across their entire line of chargers. I haven't owned a Nitecore, but like I said, I've read about plenty of them going bad... not the other way around. That could just be that they are more popular to (a bit less expensive) and more vapers own a Nitecore, so likely more of them could be going bad on pure numbers.
Either way.. it's a charger. LOL
My d4 doesn't drop down unless you put in 3 or more. Charges 2 at 750 and 3-4 at 375. I often turn bays down to low when charging anything smaller than an 18490 just because of how hot they'll get at a 750mA charge rate, and by my understanding the lower the charge rate the better for long term health of your battery. So that 1A charge rate will charge faster at the cost of needing new batteries sooner, and at 750mA I can already charge 18650s faster than I can use them.
Not that I've heard anything but good things about Xstar chargers.
Xtar has a sale going on ATM.
VP1 and VP2.
They have also just released the VP4.
Worth checking out.
Yeah, another Xtar, but they really are very good.

Yup...
We are kinda of splitting heirs here, but the proof is in the pudding. Want to purchase a charger and basically never question it again? Xtar from a reputable dealer.
Done.
