need help finding a good charger !!!

[Peruviann]

Just ordered a mod and 4 batteries but now i need a good charger. I was gonna go with the trustfire tr-001 but after reading bad reviews of that charger on amazon i changed my mind.
if anyone could recommend a good site and charger .....

Thank you in advance

I use an Xtar. It was recommended to me since I couldn't afford a Pila. I've been happy with it.

I just received an xtar wpg 2 from rtd vapor.com and am very happy with it. Charges six batteries at once.
Depending on the size of your batteries you might want to pick up a couple of spacers as well.

Try one of these...I like the Xtar myself...
XTAR VP1 Battery Charger w/LCD
Best Rechargeable Battery Chargers: Pila Battery Charger & Pila Charge


There are other good XTAR chargers on that site too...that one is just the one I like.

I'm using a "Nitecore i2 Intellicharger Li-ion Ni-Mh Ni-Cd Universal Battery Charger" Works well and has a lot of smart words in the description so it's got to be pretty good!

Intellicharger i4, look it up for the spec's, its the best one IMO

Another Xtar WP2 II person, been using two of them for some time now. Good charging characteristic, low self-discharge rate if disconnected from power (I use an outlet timer, added safety, positive cutoff), good price point from RTD.

As someone else mentioned, if you charge 16340 or 18350 batteries, pick up another pair of spacers, about $1. They screw in, low hassle factor.

Another vote for the xTar WPII 2. Best value for the money. There are many places selling them so the choice is really yours with an easy Google search.

I just read a review of new the xTar VP1 and that's a great charger too. But it will cost you twice as much as the WPII 2 to get the fancy display that the VP1 has. The VP1 tests appear to come out as good as a Pila, but for the same price the VP1 has a status display. the Pila does not.

Decided on grabbing this charger. Not a bad price and looks pretty solid.

Yes, it comes with spacers. This is the one I got, but I only have 18350s to charge, nothing larger: ElectronicStix.Com · XTAR MP2 16340/18350/15270 Li-ion Battery Charger

Thanks !! I'm so used to my eVic usb charger never had to buy a separate charger. I'm a big newbie when it comes to these chargers.

I was gonna go with Trustfire TR-001 but i was reading so many bad reviews on those. Alot of people said it messed up batteries, the charger didn't work after a few weeks, the charging lights went out.

I'm still debating on Ultra Portable 18650 li-ion batery charger Xtar Mp1-s

I used a trustfire for a good chunk of time, though I didn't mess with the cord for it, used power strip on/off switch. I prefer xtar, but don't run screaming at the sight of an 001.

If you are using Trustfire charger, maybe a good idea would be to have voltmeter and check battery voltage after charging.

Very often Trustfire will overcharge batteries, which can be pretty dangerous when unprotected battery is in cycle.

Without voltmeter you never know.

I have the TrustFire TR-001 Lithium Ion Battery Charger I figured I would get it since I already had a number of Trustfire Batteries. Been using it over a year with no issues! Batteries haven’t over charged. It has been very reliable! Can’t beat it at $8 Bucks on eBay! I like the adjustability for different sized batteries and the long cord so I can place it up on my work shelf!

Pila makes an excellent American made charger.
