:facepalm:

Ya so I only realized just now that the voltage switch on my UltraFire WF-188 was set to 3.2 as opposed to 3.7v for my 18650's :facepalm:. I haven't been charging batteries much lately with it due to using my Darwin a lot - been using my Provari @ home for the past few nights and noticed that one of my 18500's were only putting out 3.5v. Thought maybe the battery was just getting old (came with provari from classifieds). It clicked in my head today to check the voltage switch and sure enough it was set to 3.2... Don't know how it got there, doesn't really matter right now cuz the damage (if any) is done? Will that do damage to my 3.7v batteries?

I'm definitely going to be modifying the charger so I can't somehow accidentally switch it to 3.2 - don't have any batteries to be charged at that anyway. Throw some gorilla glue in there ;)

Really confused how it got switched, it stays stationary on my dresser. I guess maybe one drunken night I knocked it over. Who knows :blush:
