The included charger said it was for Li-poly batteries. Is this the correct charger? Is it safe to use a Li-poly charger with Li-ion batteries?

Hello. Yes, I've been using the charger since I got my lights. Works great and have never had any safety issues. BTW, Li-poly batteries are Li-ion batteries -- the only difference is the electrolyte used and the separator; otherwise Li ion shuttling is still the mechanism.

My charger did not work! I tried to reach the seller to see if I could get a new charger but could not get a response. They only choice they gave me was to return the kit for a refund. I charged the batteries with a different charger and they only lasted 45 minuets on high. I decided to keep the light that seamed to work fine and just make my own battery pack and get my own charger.

Thank you for your question. This charger is meant for 12 Volt Blue Peg Perego Batteries only. Please look at your current battery to determine if this will work for you.

After doing a lot of research on NiMH and Li-Ion batteries and their respective charging algorithms (see book called "Batteries in a Portable World" or website batteryuniversity.com), I would say NO... do not use this charger for Li-Ion batteries. Only Ni-Cd and NiMH!!

Thank you for your interest, yes, Lithium Ion batteries may be left on this charger until needed.Thank you,Hardware Sales

I'm not an expert but I'm 90% sure a you need a special charger for Lithium batteries. Remember what happened to that Boen jet. :)

Probably not, if it is a 3 pin connector the charger you are supposed to use probably is monitoring the temperature of the batteries while charging. If you are good with electronics you can probably get this to work by wiring in a connector, but it may decrease the life of the batteries and not charge them correctly.

Charges ALL 18V ONE + Batteries : Ni-Cd 18V, Lithium 18V and Lithium + 18V . That's what it says on the charger. My batteries are P102 and it works. Should be perfect for P103 too.

See answer from Alex - he is correct. New charger charges NiCad and Lithium Ion. Old NiCad only compatible with NiCad.

Yes, I have the Li and the NiCad. The Li charger works on both batteries btw. The Li battery really performs

I'm not familiar with this part #. This charger works great for me. It actually works better than the old charger. If you left the battery in the old charger overnight, it would be very warm the next morning. With the new charger , it will be cool, both the battery and charger--this is good for the battery & power bill.

Hi Julia, I have the same battery pack as yours so this charger will work for you. My experience with the charger is that it charges the battery well but the battery is hard to remove from the charger. I have to pry it out with a knife every time. There were no instructions with the charger to inform me of whatever little trick there is to remove the battery easily. I don't know if I just got a 'bad' one or if they all have the same problem. However it charges the battery and the price is right. Good luck.

It could be... I am using this charger for couple of months, charging 3 types of batteries, so far no problems...

I don't see why not. A lithium ion battery charger for a given type of lithium battery type will work for the any of the same type of lithium battery. It also shouldn't affect overall battery performance.

No, chargers for the Ni-Cad batteries will not work for Lithium batteries unless they are the 'duel chemistry' chargers, which will work for both battery types.

You will need the charger for lithium batteries. The NICAD charger will not work with the lithium batteries, however, the lithium charger will charge both batteries.

If you're talking about the P104 Ni-Cad battery (yellow, I think), yes, this charger charges them up as well. And if the battery ends up going bad, I recommend in the future you get the lithium ion to replace. They might be a bit more expensive, but they hold the charge longer and work longer.

It is made for 9.6 NiMh volt batteries and charges them very well. I'm not sure if it will work with the same desired results for Lithium batteries. You may need a charger just for Lithiums.
