Question About Nitecore I2 Charger

[lilmrsyeti]

So my husbands Vamo kit from FT came in today with the Nitecore I2. It came with the 18650 batteries..which is good..but was wondering...will this charger charge the 18350 batteries? Was just thinking that if I wanted to get him the smaller batteries, for out and about, will this charge it? The reason I'm asking, is because on the back of the Charger box, it has listed all the different size batteries it will charge, and the 18350 is not listed as one it will charge. Is this correct? Would hate to have to buy a whole new charger just for smaller batteries.

One more question...I've seen several people ask about this on the FT site...under the Stainless Steel..people are asking if these are really SS or Chrome...is there a way to tell the difference? I bought him the SS one, but just wondering if there was a way to tell if it really was SS or in fact Chrome?

I don't know why they don't list the 18350's, but you should have no problem charging them. I charge 18350 batteries on my i4 and would think the i2 should handle them also. I can't help you on the other question, some else will probably come along with an answer for that.

Yup, it will charge the 18350s. I have both the i2 and i4, and they both charge 18350s with out a problem.

Thank you all!! Can anyone tell me..I really like the Vamo..but don't want the same thing as my husband..so what would be another good VV/VW that I could get, that will take both the 18650 & 18350..same type of batteries that this Vamo takes? That way, I can get 2 18350s and we could share the batteries. I was really liking the looks of the Zmax mini...does that take the same type of batteries as these ? These were the Panasonic CGR18650CH

18350 take the same charge as 18650 they are just shorter. If they do not fit snugly in the charger you can buy some magnet spacers remedy the problem. The only time you need to worry about a different charger is if your using NICAD batteries Not many mods use them any longer so not much worries.
If its crome it will most likely be super shiny where stainless is silver but usually not a mirror polish. Also if its Chrome It will be brass inside

The Zmax Mini takes 18350 Id suggest getting AW Brand RTD Vapor is a trusted Battery vendor.

Definitely second this, the mini or the regular Sigelei Zmax which I just got as my first apv and love it. I use 18350 and charge with the Nitecore I2

The Zmax mini only takes 18350s if I am not mistaken.

The SVD from Innokin or a telescoping Zmax are both of a simular function and take the 18350/18490/18500/18650 batteries.

Also, you could go with the Vamo v3. Would look different than your husbands, but have the same functionality.

Good point- that's correct. The regular Zmax telescope will take 18650.

The I2 charges nicad or lion also does it at the same time, only battery it won't charge is 4.8 volt nimh battery, all other nimh battery's are fine as long there 4.19 volts or less

Guess I should check the equipments specs before I go spouting something hu;-) It was not long ago it was ether or guess Id better get with the times.

I ordered the same vamo and verified from tech support that they would send the SS version. Seems a couple of weeks ago they were selling chrome but now they increased the price by a couple of dollars so they could really send the SS.
