i have a pila charger and trustfires and i love them all....they all get the job done...i got my pila from classys for $40 bucks....i love it , but hate the screw ins for smaller batts...

I had no idea that was needed for different size batts on a Pila :?:...since I never owned one. Not that I needed a reason why I'd probably not ever get one but Im am sincere when I say to those who have them Im happy they got the charger they love. After all having what you like is what counts.

Yep, I pitched them the first week and moved on to something better.
They truly are a PIA

I wouldn't know if the Pila is worth it. I keep hearing its a better charger, but my charger is a TR-001 and my backup charger is also a TR-001. I've been using mine for almost a year with the only flaw being that it no longer does two batteries at once which is fine, because I have 8 batteries in rotation and never need to charge more than one at a time. I figure once I have tossed the one I'm using and am using my backup, I might look into a better charger. Right now my batteries come off the charger at 4.19-4.22 regardless of how long I leave them there.

Yeah, that's one other aggravating thing about my TR-001s and WF-139s: Only one batt will charge at a time on all of them. At least one of them did that out ot the box too.

:(

Are you saying it doesn't anymore or never did? Mine still charges 2 at a time and even with different size batts at the same time.

No, it did for a long time....Then about March it stopped. It may have been a glitch, but I've never pushed the issue. I just charge them one at a time now and it works fine. If I worked outside the home, this would be an issue, but I'm often here at my desk in the office or nearby, so one at a time is no big deal to me.
