So it looks like I'll be traveling for pretty much most of April, so I picked up this lightweight charger that is supposed to work with any cylindrical rechargeable battery. The leads are magnetic and attach easily. It only charges at 750 mAH which for a flat 18650 battery will obviously take several hours to complete but it is lightweight and for my preferred single cell flashlight should keep me out of the dark quite well :tu:
For around $10 it seemed like a useful gadget to have.

Have one of those chargers as well and it works fairly well. I have had some troubles with it giving me a false full charge light until I reposition it. Besides that it’s been great.

I did have some trouble getting a solid connection on a 10440 battery where the wrapper extended over the negative terminal. First I tried a crumbled up piece of tinfoil, which worked, but ended up just trimming the wrapper back so the whole negative size was exposed.
Glad to hear you've had a generally positive experience :salute:

Definitely been nice to have and I actually have a second as a backup. I have a wall plug with a “USB out” that I plug my charger into and it works great! These are small and light enough that they work well for travel or car charging as well. :tu:

Ive got one of those as well, I got it when I bought my S2 Baton and thought it would come in handy. I've only used it a few times at work and it's been great so far.
