Can you charge 18650 at 1000mah or only the 26650? I am a little unclear and do not want to waste the money. Thank you!

I charge 18650 batteries from 2900 mah to 3400 mah on my unit. Most all 18650 batteries are 650mm long as well as 26650. The first two numbers indicate the diameter and the last three indicate the length. Hope this helps. Ray

I don't think you can charge 26650s on here. I only use 18650s, but you can use any of the three settings to charge them. From my understanding, the slower you charge it, the longer it last, so I always charge mine on the slowest setting, unless I'm in a crunch.

The 18650 charge fine with the 1000mah, and will charge two at that rate. I don't think the 26650 batteries will fit in this charger and I don't see them as being supported on the amazon page.

I use Nitecore Intellicharger i4. It great for the 18650 and 26650. But 26650 take all most all day to charge do to there Large Capasity. But I think they made a new version with a lcd screen on it.

The AA or AAA batteries are of a different size and shape and the voltage is different. I found that you can order conversion kits, but the reviews on them are not good. The 18650 battery holds a charge for a long time and I find it quite convenient. I keep a second battery charged at all times in the event I need to replace.

Matt, Buy the Trustfire 26650s if this is the 7 or 11 led torch. I own the 7 @ 8500 retina melting lumens. It will work on 2 or 3 18650s or 26650s. I use 3 26650s an they last hours on high. This beast lights up a whole acre! Don't forget to get the universal battery charger.Steve

This an excellent charger for the 18650 battery. Quick charge compared to others I've tried. It has adapters for the smaller size also.

Your charger is not for this battery. This battery is about 3 inches long and larger in diameter compared with your AA/AAA batteries. The battery is a LI-Ion 3.7 v, not like your 1.5v batteries. Get you a charger for the Ultrafire battery.......it's designed for it and low cost. My charger can charge one or two batteries at a time....no problem. Worked great with the Ultrafire 1000 lumens light.

I purchased 3.7V 18650 3000mah Rechargeable Batterys. They seem to work well. I've used them for about a year so far.

No alkaline can not be used , as for the 26650 rechargeable batteries it takes 2 or three with the extended piece which only extends time of usage .although when used on the highest output it will only last for about 45 minutes before it shuts off to not over heat the circuit then you must let it cool down and then it will work .

No dude you need the 18650 batteries. The regular aa batteries are too small. The 18650 batteries are fatter and more powerful. The good thing is that it only requires only one 18650 batteries and they are rechargeable. My suggestion would be to buy a pair with the wall charger, and Carry the second battery as a backup or replacement.

Kelly, the charger works with 18650 batteries only, so, also you can measure the length and the thickness of yours batteries then if you have some 18650 to compare the size, then you will be ok.

This would be a question for the manufactorer. (Sorry) If you ask me, I would think no only as the 18640 batteries are 3.6v and this appears to be designed for 1.5v AA or AAA batteries. I do see there is a whole line of 18650 charges so I would also say no. You can find an 18650 charger cheap on here. AC Wall Charger for 18650 Rechargeable Batteries Hope this helps.

You can either use two 123 Lithium batteries (expensive option and don't last very long) or get the BRC18650 batteries Amazon offeres (cheaper option). The BRC 18650 batterys from Amazon are rechargeable, if you look at the same set of batteries I purchased, it came with the wall charger too. It included two batteries and only one is needed to work the flashlight, it is the same lenght as two of the 123 batteries so you always have a spare battery ready. The two pack batteries with charger from Amazon cost me around $12.00. I have one of these and a Coast PX25 flashlight (cost $30-$45) but uses AAA batteries. This light is a little brighter than the PX25 but imo not made as well. I have not had any problems with either light but I think the PX25 is more rugged.

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...

Just got mine today. Haven't tested actual capacity but with 18650 batteries inside it looks that is actually probably around 15,000 mah. I'm going to test by fully discharging a device that is 5000 mah. If i can't get enough recharges to be impressed I'll be returning mine.

You need a 18650 baterry charger. They are just a set of 2 batteries no charger but those are one of the best batteries I've had tried for 18650 lithium ion batteries compared to others that I have purchased from amazon.

What capacity 18650 battery are you running? I'm using a 3400mAh 18650 and it lasts days for me of itermittent use on level 3-4.

Yes. It's still an 18650 which is the main part you should be looking for, this battery just has more mAh than the one you're taking about.
