Whats the best charger for...

[vgpg]

Hello just wanted a little inside info on battery chargers and what's best for my battery.

I'm thinking of getting this battery, any suggestions on a charger that works well and will prolong my battery lifetime?

I can vouch for this. I bought an Efest LUC 4 last week after using a nitecore i4 for the past 14 months. The charge speed on my 26650s with the 2A mode is incredible. All my other batteries at the 1A mode (mostly 18650s) also charge much faster than my Nitecore. I mostly use the Nitecore to charge AAs and AAAs now.

I am hoping that Santa brings me one.

I can't wait to see how fast one will charge my VCT5s!

Aside from fast charging...the LUC balances the batteries very well! This is conditional on the batteries being of the same lot (mated), and discharged at approximately the same rate.

That sounds great!
Any reliable place I can purchase this charger?

Reliable and AFAIK the cheapest too.

Code LV20 may still work for 20% off as well.

I bought mine last week. Not sure if the LV20 code still works but the LV15 code does. Did a little charge time testing. (x2) Married 4200mah 26650s at a charge of 3.4 volts fully charged in under two hours on the 2A mode. My nitecore would take anywhere from 4-6 hours (if it didn't overheat and reset every ten minutes). There is no comparison. LUC 4 is a definite win.

Nitecore's get so hot they scare me. My LUC4 doesn't even get warm.
