I've been using my trusty old Trustfire TR-001 for charging all my batteries (14500's and 18650's) since I started mod vaping more than 2 years ago and it has never let me down. With my AW IMR 2000 mah 18650's it's been taking an average of 7-8 hours to recharge them with my TR-001 which runs at 500 mah output. So I purchased a new XTAR WP2 II this past week and allows me to charge batteries at either 500 mah or 1 amp (1000 mah). I set it for 1 amp and my AW's now take a little more than 2 hours to charge.
The XTAR is made in Hong Kong and even though it is not a PILA it appears to be well-made and provides some nice charging features for under $20.00. Another good investment.
