It works great for this and the information on the display is a nice upgrade from some of the older models. My major concern with this charger is the compatibility with Nitecore 18650 batteries. I have tried charging an NL1835 HP and while it does charge the battery, inserting and removing the battery is very difficult to do without damaging the outer wrapping of the battery itself.
They only needed to make it 2 mm or 1 /16th of an inch larger to avoid this.
It is too tight to safely use 18650 batteries in this charger. Attempting to do so will damage the battery and likely be a safety hazard.
So now the "best" (well at least the most expensive) battery charger I have, cannot charge my most commonly used batteries NOT RECOMMENDED for Nitecore brand 18650 batteries.
I expected better and am not too happy with this one
*Image 1 shows overall fit.
*Image 2 shows how little room there is once a Nitecore 18650 is inserted in the slot.
*Image 3 shows damage to outer wrap after just one time inserting it and removing it. Imagine what it will start to look like after a few dozen chargers, let alone 500.
