I've read that Pila chargers are the best, and safest charger out there. Sometimes I want to charge a battery before I leave for a 5-8 hour shift at work. I was thinking it would be safer to leave the batteries in the pila while I'm gone. I know I will need a spacer for 18350's but are they recommended for them? I think I read something about not being good for 600 and 700mah batteries.

I would be wanting to charge :

AW IMR 18350 700mAh

AW IMR 14500 600mAh

Protected Ultrafire 18350 1200mAh

Possibly also Protected Trustfire 14500 900mAh


Would this be recommended for the smaller (600-700) mAh batteries? If not, what charger do you recommend?

Thanks!

Yep... but I was asking if this charger would be alright for the batteries I listed because of their mAh.
Yeah sorry Ben, I missed that part in the morning mail LOL. I knew you would come back :)

If the charger out put is below the rated mAh of the battery, you will be fine. I like to charge at 50-65%. The lower you can go, the better it is for the battery. Batts really like it nice and slow :)
