I have a NiteCore IntelliCharger I2.
Lately I have been having some funny stuff going on with one of my bays (two bays in this model).
Both bays have 3 indicator lights that blink...as the batt fills up one lights blinks and goes solid, then two lights, then the third when it is done.
One of the bays has been charging the batts but all of the lights don't deploy and today one light was still blinking on a 18650 after five hours and I took it off figuring it should have been done by then; it came off at 4.2 but it was just a tiny bit warm (as it is when it first starts to charge) instead of being cool (like it is when it finishes)
.
My question is - is it malfunctioning, could it possibly overcharge the batt and can I utilize the one bay that isn't doing anything funny or should I just toss it and buy another charger?
I do have a 300mAh single generic charger that plugs into a wall socket that I got in a kit but I am not sure about plugging a charger into a socket with a 2000mAh batt on it flush against my wall.
Ok, I'm chicken *cluck, cluck*
Not sure about this NiteCore either right now and I don't want to damage my batts...or me, lol
I'm disappointed..I really liked this charger
ETA: I bought an xtar MP2 this weekend and should get it in a few days..if nothing else I will be able to charge my 18350s until I can purchase another charger for my 18650s.
