Does this charge rechargable IMR batteries. And if so which switch?

Per the listed info and the charger label customer photo, NO. This is a NiMH and NiCad charger which can also partially revive alkaline batteries which I have almost given up using due to their well known leakage issues and lousy high current capability. Use alkalines in a $100+ high power flashlight, NO WAY! Unless a charger specifically Lists the ability to charge Lithium Ion batteries then it will not do so. Their high voltages and wide ranging chemistries mean that only a few specific chargers can even handle all commonly available versions of Lithium Ion cells. The XTAR VP2 charger can handle almost all Lithium Ion chemistries and voltages but is not NiMH & NiCad compatible. Per the listed info and the charger label customer photo, NO.

No, it can not charge lithium batteries. There are 3 settings: nicad/ nickel metal hybride/ and rechargeable alkaline and regular alkaline.

We never use it for rechargeable batteries, it is only for alkaline batteries. Works great.

Hey there, I have never tried to charged batteries of other brands. I thought they mention that it shouldn't charge with other brands..

Hi! I can't provide a link, but the name of the charger that will do the job is "Intelligcharger". It is located on Amazon.com and will charges 4 18650 batteries all at once which go in your flashlight.

This charger CAN recharge NiMH batteries as well as the included Alkaline batteries.I wouldn't try standard disposable alkalines, but I use it for my sizable collection of NiMHs as well - in fact, I bought it to replace a failed charger that blew up four of my newer NiMH batteries.

Yes, I use rechargeable energizer batteries both AA and C size and this charger works well with them.

No, This charger seem to have enough brains to know how to charge the batteries of all three types. No to your second question. I don't think you would want to charge the batteries any slower. It's slow enough. I charged about 110 batteries so far . Only one would not charge. Great charger. Alan Doucette

NO. The NiMH & NiCD batteries charge differently then the Li-Ion batteries.

They are Li-Mn. To my knowledge, all IMR batteries are Li-Mn, for what it's worth. I've been using them in a SmokTek ePipe mod and they work quite well.

The unit will charge any combination of one to eight AA and/or AAA NiMH batteries, regardless of mAH rating. Mix and match - the charger doesn't know and doesn't care.

according to their spec sheet it does, but after calling them i found the cut off voltage (total absorption rate) is 14.7v to each bank. that's fine for AGM batteries but Gel batteries are only supposed to be charged to 14.1 and overcharging will definitely shorten their life !!! there are no switches or modes on this charger so buyer beware !

I do not believe it will charge 3v CR2 batteries. But I may be wrong. At the price of this charger it is worth trying I guess. If it does not work I will buy it off of you. lol kwlynch@gmail.com

It depends on the individual type of charger. Definitely they should be all RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. The best way to know is to follow the instruction manual, or see on the back of the charger itself, mostly it is mentioned. Depending on the type of charger, most of them can recharge AA or AAA batteries of NiMH type. AGAIN, PL. CHECK. PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, WRONG BATTERIES USED CAN EXPLODE!

seems to work with any rechargeable including lithium or NiCad aa or aaa battery, 1 or 2 at a time (cannot charge C, or D size batteries). a little bit slow, but seems to know when to shut off when charging is complete. avoids having to carry a 240 volt 50 cycle battery charger when traveling outside USA , can charge through computer or other USB - source (most phone chargers, including Apple, now include a 110 to 250 volt USB female into which the charging cord plugs, which requires a simple adapter to accept the US standard 2 blade plug when in Europe or elsewhere).

As far as I have researched it should charge these...Lion 26650, 22650, 18650, 17670, 18490, 17500, 17335, 16340(RCR123), 14500, 10440 Ni-MH / Ni-Cd: AA, AAA, C -

It will recharge rechargeable batteries, including the batteries that come with the charger. I would not expect it to recharge alkaline batteries.
