"I use the Pila charger to recharge my 18650's, 17670's, 14500's (uses the spacer included with the Pila), and 16340's (needs an extra 15mm spacer, NOT included with the Pila). I check the cells before and after recharging. The Pila occasionally terminates early at 4.05V to 4.15V. It never terminates too late (over 4.20V). I'd consider this behavior to be conservative - which is very good when recharging po..." Read Full Review »

"I bought this charger because it was claimed on Candlepowerforums that it does not charge Li-on cells above the critical 4.20V level. However, I have measured >4.2V resting voltage more than once, which defeats the whole purpose of getting this charger versus using one of the inexpensive Ultrafire chargers...." Read Full Review »

"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 …" Read Full Review »

"I did a whole lot of research before purchasing this charger. It has the correct charging algorithm for charging lithium ions and I feel perfectly safe leaving it unattended. The manual recommends using only PILA batteries, however it will safely charge any lithium ion 18650, or even RCR123 although …" Read Full Review »

"I use lithium ion rechargeable cells in higher end flashlights. It is a potentially dangerous chemistry and while I am value oriented, I would not consider using a 'value priced' cheaper charger. It is not worth the risk. This charger is the best in its class and that in itself is value. If you are …" Read Full Review »
