safe charger help

[gazzatip]

hi,
im looking for a multi charger to charge14500 and 18350 batts the 18350 is not essential.
i have just bought the ggtb and some 14500, i also purchased a trustfire tr 001 which caused one of my 18350 sd batts to explode, hence im now rather paranoid about the safety element.
what im looking for is an ultra safe charger and was advised too come here for help.
thanks

The best and safest consumer grade li-ion charger would be the Pila IBC Charger. This is the charger I use. It is not cheap, but it absolutely conforms to the CC/CV standard and shuts off after charging with no trickle charge. You would have to buy a spacer to charge the 18350s.

Even with the Pila, I always remove the battery when it is charged.

thanks jmanning,
i had just looked this one up, £48 is a lot for a charger, but after my experience the other night it may be worth it.
i will have a punt around the uk web see if i can find a slightly better deal.

Gaz, that price is in $ not £. Works out at about £30.00 plus whatever they charge for shipping
