  • Great charger

  • I posted this deal ~two years ago when I needed a charger for 18650's and Ni-MH batteries.

    Would not recommend in this day and age - does not charge 1.5V Li-ion. No point getting this and then another 1.5V Li-ion charger later on.

    • yeah.Just add another $25 and get a Xtar VX4 instead or even a VX2 Pro which charges almost every chemistry 3.6/3.7V Li-ion & 3.2V LiFeP04,1.5V Li-ion and 1.2V Ni-MH

      • Thanks legend

    • anything does both ?

      • XTAR VX4, XTAR VX2 Pro.

        If you don't need the display: XTAR MX4.

        Other brands: Vapcell BL4.

        • Any sales going haha

  • Where are most peoples getting their (legit) 18650 batts.

    • Previous Kogan clearance vacuum cleaner replacement batteries.

      • This is the only place I have been able to find that is trustworthy for Molicel in Aus.

      • Awesome, thanks

    • I bough some from AliExpress working great so far

    • What are you even using them for?

      • Haven't confirmed it myself, but comment in there says it's 20650

        • Oh, really? I thought only the new, slim Ozito batteries used 20650. Oh well…

    • Just received ~150 used/reclaimed 21700 and 18650 NMC and LFP from slbatteries.com.au and can recommend. Halfway through capacity testing them (with VC8 chargers incidentally) and they average 98% of nameplate capacity with no duds yet and all in-spec IR. Only went for name brand cells though so that helps.

      If you want new cells, caprouge.com.au is legit and good prices. Have used them before for ebike motors/batteries.

  • Great unit, highly recommended

  • Should probably mention it only charges at 1A x 2 or 500mA x 4. Fine for smaller AAA NiMH, but would take ages charging larger AA, 18650 or 21700

    • Doesnt anything over 1A fry your batteries over time?

  • Doesn't check capacity properly, no Si and Fe support. Only can be recommended by people who missed last 5 years of technology development.

    • Recommendations? Currently have a Nitecore new i2 but looking for a 4 port upgrade (for 18650 and 21700).

      • Look at SkyRC MC series. They release firmware updates when a new chemistry gets popular. They virtually support everything, and will be in future.

        • Thanks, different ballpark price-wise but will keep an eye out for sales 🙂

        • MAte that Sky RC is like $160. It won't go down well in a bargain forum. :)

          • @Naigrabzo: I have experience with chargers burning 18650 and themselves. If you want to check what your insurance will say about property burned by Chinese El Cheapo charger, sure :)

            • @Ozzster: Yeah agree. None of these little Li batteries should be charged unattended.

      • Vapcell S4+

  • This seems like it might be a better deal https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0C9CGLVVG?psc=1&smid=A3MEX8TH7…

    LIMETA R4EVO $41.64

  • What devices do people have that use 18650 rechargeable batteries?

    I've got a bunch spare from Ozito batteries that one cell died but rest are fine.

    • Flashlights and vapes.

    • I've got a couple of torches. Once you go 18650 torches there's no going back.

      • Any recommendations? I like the ones that have a secondary mode that fills up a room like a lantern

        e.g. This that uses AAA but 18650

        https://www.amazon.com.au/EverBrite-Zoomable-Flashlight-Emer…

        Unfortunately cant find any

        • I'm not an expert but I think ones designed to only take 18650 are better. But if you want a lamp style this is probably fine.

          Member @Clear has posted ones on Aliexpress before & knows what's good. I did a search for you.

  • Good charger.. but far out, they are huge and bulky.

  • i own one, it's fine.

    I 3d printed little tabs that raises the height of the AA and AAA batteries. they dont always align as they are too small.

  • Not a very well known brand around here, but I can vouch for VapCell S4 Plus which can charge and discharge almost any battery (including 1.5V Li-Ion AA batteries). It's a bit expensive (around $50) but it's powerful (up to 3A per slot!) and configurable.

    https://www.vapcelltech.com/h-pd-194.html

    • Ditto. Bought mine from sofirnlight.com

    • (including 1.5V Li-Ion AA batteries)

      I'm pretty sure S4+ V3 doesn't support those. Other "AA" format are fine (14500, eneloops), but not 1.5V li-ion AA.

      I prefer having separate chargers for 1.5V Li AA anyway, since each cell pull 5V and regulate internally.

  • This one good for Eneloops? As in better than Panasonic ones?

    • If you already own a panasonic one, stick with that, no point upgrading.

      It's really designed for 18650s, it will charge AA and AAA but takes some fiddling. It's also bigger.

      It's kind of like upgrading from a kia rio to a kia cerato. it's bigger, has more features, but if the rio is working fine, there isnt really a point buying something new for such a marginal improvement.

    • It will charge NiMH but one common complaint is the 0.5A charging current limit.

  • Thanks for adding this: (Note: VC4 could not charge 18700/20700/21700 protected batteries).

    I can at least confirm it won't charge the 21700 protected cells, as they won't physically fit (too long).

    We have the XTAR VC2SL at work which WILL charge the protected cells. https://www.xtar.cc/product/xtar-vc2sl-charger-189.html

  • Just a bit of a stretch ($15-20) for the Golisi S4.

    Still using mine 8 years later.

  • I got XTAR Dragon VP4 Plus Charger instead and its awesome!

  • This seems a tad outdated is there a similar priced newer model it Liitokala (spelling) from AE you’d suggest?
