Thanks for the reply Andrew. I always made sure the setting was correct. The problem is all 4 of my efest batteries are dead! I rotate 3 batteries during the day and after these died, I pulled out a 4th one that I had set aside and charged it. Obviously this was before I knew it was the charger causing the problems thinking my batteries had reached their lifespan. Needless to say, the 4th one which I had never used before was dead as well. That's when I realized it was the freaking charger. Fortunately, I still had the charger and 2 batteries from my original 14650 e-power kit so that's what I'm using now even though these batteries are weaker due to lifespan.
To be honest I was never impressed with the Efest because they were hit and miss on holding a charge. So I'm really at a loss now because I thought I was buying good and recommended products before! So if you have anything that you have been carrying for awhile that seems to last and that other people have had good experiences with for awhile, I'd like to hear about it. Thanks again!
