18650 battery charger?

[ka3jjz]

I've ordered a Tecsun H501X as a birthday present. I see that it can charge 2 18650 batteries, but I would prefer a good dedicated charger. Anyone know of such a unit, preferably found on Amazon?

Thanks in advance...Mike

You can look here I have been using one for years now to charge my 18650 battery that i use in my flashlight have not had any problems with these. there are a lot of different ones out there, tells how long they have been charging, the voltage as they charge and what rate they are charging at,

I use and recommend the Opus C3400. In addition to charging, it tests the batteries.

X2 on the Nitecore... I'm using a Digicharger D4 D4

Works with many rechargeables, including NiMh and NiCad..

I've had great success with the Opus C3400 as well.

The Nitecore i2 still (been more than a little while) has the comical copypasta error of being a two battery device, and the text states "each of the four" - clearly someone in marketing made a boo-boo. Probably fat-fingered from another device text.

Not to derail this thread but people interested in the newer Tecsun DSP shortwave receivers should be aware that the Tecsun H501/501X and the PL-990/990X both have a hard limit of 100 memory channels for storing shortwave SSB frequencies. I think the PL-330 does as well.

For utility listeners this can be a deal breaker. I also note that no reviews even mention this limitation.

Note also that the previous Tecsun models (PL-880, PL-680, PL-660, PL-600) have no such limitation.

Just to get back on topic - I use an AccuPower independent four cell charger for my batteries (AA and 18650 mainly). Works great.

I use a Nitecore too. It can charge my 21700 batteries too.
