WTB(UK) LiPo Charger
« on: January 21, 2016, 04:47:06 pm »
I am looking for recommendations for a quality 3.6V/3.7V battery charger. Not looking for the cheapest but one that people have used or a company that sell quality chargers. I need to buy a few so not interested in Ebay or Amazon, want proper supported product.

Thanks

Trev

Astratec?

Have aquired several of their products through auctions and find them to work well.

You mean 18650 I guess? If you want to spend the next days reading, you could have a look here:

Good brands are Xtar and Nitecore. The sexiest thing to get at the moment is the SkyRC MC3000.
Note that a lot of chargers with 4 cells or more are limited regarding the charge current.
