What levels should I set on the charger for recharging Orbtronic Protected 18650 batteries?

Either will work fine. I leave mine on 500 since I'm usually not in a hurry for my batteries. Add a guideline you generally charge lithium ion batteries at one half capacity per hour, unless otherwise specified by the battery manufacturer.

Doesn't matter. They can be charged at any rate. The slower charging is better for the battery's health long-term, but a 1.00A won't hurt them.

These are 3.7v batteries, I use my intelecharger. It charges many types of rechargables. It takes the guesswork out of the equation. Well worth the investment. Also, for the price Sony vtr4 or 5 would be better. They are safer at lower ohms, useful information if you intend to use these for a personal vaporizer. A flashlight would be a better use for these specific orbtronic batteries. Feel free to ask more questions.

I bought the same and AAA batteries fit in the first level the second is only for AA, the charger do not charge only one battery at least needs 2 to be charged.

There is a "6 volt" and a "12 volt" position on the slide switch of the charger. Place the switch in the appropriate position relative to the battery you are charging, no brainer!

1st -- I suggest that you attach the battery terminals first (make sure of the color coding: red to red, black to black)2nd -- select the setting you wish (low amps for slow overnight charge; higher amps for 1-2 hour charge; start for highest amps).3rd -- plug in the charger to your power source.The meter and the lights will tell you when you have a full charge.

dear friend, i bought this batterries: 2 Pack 3.7V 6000mah 26650 Li-ion Rechargeable Battery Protected and this charger: TrustFire TR-006 Dual-Slot 25500 / 26650 / 26700 / 18650 / 16340 Battery Charger (AC 110~240V) and it works perfectly. i recommend you this items.

The CR123A batteries I bought on amazon are not Lithium-Ion batteries. They sent me CR123A Lithium batteries wich are NOT rechargable and are 3 Volts. These power my night vision iluminator. At the time I bought these batteries I could not find rechargable 123A batteries. As for the charger charging 123A batteries, mine are CR123A Lithium and are NOT rechargable but the contacts do fit this charger and there is a voltage setting on the side of the charger for 3 Volt or 4.2 Volt. If you lookup this charger it does not list any CR123A batteries compatible with it. So I* would say try at your own risk. But does seem viable because the voltage is close just watch to see if the batteries or charger heat up too much. I hope this helps.

Both batteries and chargers are sold on Amazon. Search for "18650B Protected" for the batteries, and "18650B Charger" for the charger.

I would add to my previous comment that you would want to bring them to full charge with charger and use the BatteryMinder only as a maintainer/desulfator. They should all be in similar condition. If you find one 12v pairing has a lesser condition, I would suggest desulfating the pairs separately, spending more time on the weaker pair. From what I understand, desulfating a bank in series/parallel will tend to favor the batteries that are in better condition. You can make a Kentucky windage determination of condition by measuring resting voltage or be more precise by measuring specific gravity of each cell.

First, what batteries came with the flashlight? Second, these batteries are rated at a max voltage of 4.2 VDCif you charged them with a charger with greater than 4.2 Volts, it with overpower the Diode and blow it.White diodes are voltage sensitive and anything in excess of 4.2 volts with blow them quick. Check the outputof your charger to ensure that its 4.2 VDC Max. Let me know thanks perry

Well yea, use a battery charger , or a deep cycle charger with a max of 35 amp .Most deep cycle batteries use a slow charge rate anyway which is a lower amp charger.Just keep the amp below 30 to 35 amp @ 12 volt. This is not a 24 or more system charger.

I use the 1 to 5 for charging hi-capacity batteries with no problems. It takes longer than charging just one, but that is to be expected. I'm not aware of any alternatives.

They should recharge with no problem. A 18650 is just a high-output AA battery. Normal AA batteries are around 1.5 volts. 18650's are between 3.5 and 4 volts. Just be careful what you put the 18650's in, as they might burn up your flashlight or radio if not rated for the higher voltage. Hope this helps.

Hello, they use the 18650 rechargeable 3.7v battery, and depending on the bulb, they could also use the (RCR123) 16340. The former is one, whereas the latter two. Hope that helps, you can find specials where the battery charger comes with batteries. If the bulb isn't 3.7v - 14v, if you try the 16340's, even though they should work (correct volts / amps) you'll probably blow the bulb. Those batteries take their own specificway chargers. Take care.

The 18650 charge fine with the 1000mah, and will charge two at that rate. I don't think the 26650 batteries will fit in this charger and I don't see them as being supported on the amazon page.

I am not sure what you mean by regular charger? This is the type of charger I use for mine. Wall Li-on Charger for 18650 Rechargeable Battery USA

I only use the 9.6V, but apparently the charger will handle the full range of batteries. The red light to start would be normal if it stays on solid; if it flashes, it still needs a little charge.
