EdisonBright Fenix are-A2 Smart Battery Charger for 21700/18650/16340 BBX5 Battery Carry case

I’ve been using this charger for a year and it’s still great. No issues whatsoever.

This charger will not warm up 18650 batteries. I like the voltage, current, and charge timer display. Nice blue display with white digit segments. Easy to read and operate. Lithium-ion batteries should be cool the touch while charging and after charging. Safe and effective charger.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Works well.

I bought this when I found my Nitecore charger that I'd bought a number of years ago for my 18560 batteries wouldn't fit the 21700 batteries for my newest Fenix flashlight. It's nice, has essentially the same information the the Nitecore had but it seems to charge faster.I've got several flashlights but have settled on Fenix for build quality and reliability. I've still go and use a lot a Fenix TK15 that i bought in 2008. I'm hoping the Fenix build quality rubs off on this charger.

The Charger arrived as promised. I had a Battery that needed charging, plugged in the new charger and within a short time ,it was full. It has 2 bins ,so I could charge 2 batts if needed. I have to say, Fenix makes quality products. I have a Fenix Mdl UC 30, I received from my' Bride', about 5 years ago.. I LOVE IT!! It came with a electric charger but recently it was not working. This charger is plugged into the wall socket & you're in business within a reasonable time. Thank you and my Fenix Flashlight #UC 30 thanks you for the rapid delivery.

Tried this out with 7 AA's, 7 AAA's, and 5 RCR123A's. The AA's and AAA's charge really fast and the charge indicator graphic and voltage values update regularly. However, the RCR123A's don't charge very fast and the graphic and voltage values didn't update at all, even after an hour or so. The only way to get those to update was to unplug and replug the box. A little disappointing, but not that big a deal. You can mix and match battery types and it doesn't seem to affect anything. Getting batteries place properly in the unit is a little tricky and definitely a two-handed job, partly because the spring on the sliding connector for the anode (-) side of the battery is pretty stiff, and partly because getting some batteries placed properly on the contacts is a little tricky because the groove is rounded and doesn't fit the samller battery sizes. If it were a V-groove, it would work much better. All-in-all, a good buy.

Like it.

I purchased this charger for mainly 18650 and 21700 batteries. I needed something that was "smart" and properly backed off charging once the cell filled, and also had a decent charge rate. This fulfilled both needs. The current indicator is bright and easy to read versus similar devices (I have at least 5 other types). Cells can be charged in tandem or individually. Different types of cells can be charged at the same time also (tried with 18650 and 21700 cells).About the only issue was that it was packaged in this "survive the apocalypse" plastic that had to be cut away. I.e., once I'd removed the backing the device was still locked in place with weapons grade plastic. Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit but it was annoying.
