Very simple: a FAST charger that charges 2 or 4 batteries in one go. I found one for the batteries of the E-sigar(illo):

The Soshine SC-S8 battery charger from Deal Extreme is a charger for two E-sigar or E-sigarillo batteries. It comes with a power lead with European plug and works worldwide on 100 to 240V.

It also comes with two Li-ion batteries of 400 mAh that fit the E-sigar(illo). This is a little more than the standard batteries of e.g. E-cig that are 350 mAh.

It does have an USB-A port. According to the manual which is written in some sort of “me Tarzan – you Jane” English, this provides USB-power on the USB-port for any device that can be charged from an USB port (iPod, mobile phone). This USB port can also be used to feed the charger and charge batteries from the USB-port of a portable computer or USB car-adaptor.

The charger has two independent channels so batteries with different capacities and different discharge can be mixed; you can also charge one battery at the time. This is a fast charger, so the batteries are getting somewhat warm during charging, but this is normal and there is a thermal safety build-in at 40° C.

The charging procedure is bock standard: insert the batteries, the one or two red lights go on, the lights turns green and the charger is switched to stand-by when fully charged. One completely discharged 350-400 mAh battery is recharged in about one hour, inserting two batteries doubles the time. You do not need to unplug and replug the charger when switching batteries, as some chargers require.

So overall a very decent compact charger, that is quit quick and versatile.
