Will it charge 18650 rechargeable batteries?

Absolutely not!!! the size may be similar to AA but this thing will only charge to about 1.45 volts. Lithum batteries like the 19650 are dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. If you have ever seen a lithium battery on fire (due to an radio control plane or heli crash or a heli crash) you will not fool around with a cheap charger for them. I don't know where that dude came off giving you bad advice.

I see nothing to indicate it would. The unit appears designed to charge standard AA, AAA, C, D (all of which are 1.2v-1.5v) and 9v batteries. Nothing about a 3.6v battery. And so I doubt it. I suppose you could try it, but in my experience using too low a charging voltage will usually not fully charge a battery, and also potentially will shorten it's life.

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.

Nope, it is not designed to be charge station for rechargeable batteries (AA or AAA or 9v). It serves as battery pack to charge celfone, tablets, and other small devices that can be connected with USB. I use it as backup charge for my Samsung Galaxy S2.

Yes it will work with all types of 18650's, 18350's, 16350's, 14500's etc. It will pretty much charge any rechargeable battery of this type of battery. Great charger for the money.

Absolutely, have two of these& I charge them (18650 batts) on this unit.Note- you simply unscrew the adapters that come with unit. No big deal, just turn them off by hand. You can put them back on to charge smaller batteries should you ever need to. My 2nd unit I keep in my truck in the freezing winter and it hasn't failed to charge my 18650 batts. With the car charger power supply. Very happy with the reliablity.

I have no idea what a 18650 battery is, but from the other responses, it looks like the answer is , NO.

NO. This charges 1.2 volt NiCad and NiMH batteries. 18650s are 3.7 volts. They look like larger versions of AA/AAA, but that is the end of the similarity. I've had this page bookmarked for a LONG time, and it should give you plenty of info about 18650 chargers: http://www.lygte-info.dk/info/indexBatteriesAndChargers%20UK.html

No and just so everyone knows this will not charge rechargeable batteries if you do decide to use them. We use rechargeable batteries and they do not charge.

NO!!!! the charger must be designed for lithum. batteries. They make a dual charger but must be designed for lithum

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.

I believe it is. I read somewhere these lights have a capacitor that regulates the power draw throughout the battery life, and a.low voltage warning when the power is below a certain level..it pays to go with the 18650 rechargeables if your going to use it much , . The top 2 setttings eat batteriesl.

No. A regular rechargeable battery charger will have an output just over 1.5V per cell. These are 3.2V. Unfortunately your charger will either read them as fully charged way too soon, or refuse to charge them at all. There very well could be super-smart-chargers that would somehow recognize these and charge appropriately, but a regular one for 1.2V NiMH or NiCad batteries will not work.

I believe the 18650 is the same thing as a AA or AAA battery. If so, then yes it will. Sorry, I was wrong. It may be the same size as aaa or aa but LI-ion batteries need thier own kind of charger. I was thinking that this charger was Li-ion, but it is NiMH. It probably will not work.

Not sure sorry I use it to charge 4 18650 and 18350, excellent charger though

Sure it will...I have charged many. It does more than just charge.......check out C-Teks website.It is not a FAST charger...it IS a charger that will revive tired batteries!!

No. The site suggested "additional items" includes the required batteries. These units require the 3.7V 18650 batteries that are a little bigger than a AA battery. The 18650 battery size actually comes in multiple voltage options so be careful what you order. The 3.7V is best but watch out for the lower voltage batteries. All of them should be rechargable. My batteries hold a charge for quite a while. Hope this helps.

I personally don't own that type of battery, so definitely ask the seller, but that being said it does a great job charging my 3600 mah 18650 batteries... As long as the batteries don't require a unusually high mah charge though I would say you probably have a very good chance of it working... Plus it has a good deal of safety mechs on it to correctly identify the right voltage to charge at as well as protecting from over-charging... I would guess it's a safe bet...
