This is by far the best charger for it's price. I have no problems with it, it charges all my protected cells--though I do not have a multi-meter to measure the voltages yet. I have use batteries hot off the charger with no instaflash.

I am planning to buy another one with some ac adapters for in car charging when I go camping! WoOt!

Works as advertised, automatic and safe

My first "18650" size charging unit purchased for use with my high-performance flashlight. It works as advertised and unlike the cheaper units available online, this charger tops off the cells at a solid 4.20~4.21v (measured with a Fluke 92B scopemeter <- it's accurate). This is a very good thing due to the nature of Li-ion batteries to "vent with flame" when mistreated or overcharged. Best "Bang for the buck" charger available to date. I cannot comment on the durability of the unit due to only owning it for a month or so at the time of this review.

My biggest pet peeve, is that the unit is not compatible with 12v input for use directly from a car's electrical system, you have to purchase the Pila adapter for 6v as well. This is mainly an issue because I'm cheap, but my car has a significant electrical system, with standardized [can't put the brand here] connectors for amateur radio equipment, and I would love to have my charging unit compatible for quick use in the field. True I could build my own 6v converter, but I'm lazy as well as cheap..

Great Li-Ion charger. Seems to terminate the charge around 4.15V and trickle to about 4.20V. With a couple of adapters, I'm able to charge 14500, 18650, and RCR123A cells!
