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

solid.

I love the big display, and the fact that Fenix made the battery bays long enough to accept USB C charge 21700 batteries. I've also charged Streamlight SL-B26 USB Micro charge batteries in 18650 size, AAs, and AAAs, all without issue. This is product is great for the price, so if you are looking for a good two slot charger, this is it. If you need four slots, get that version of the Fenix charger. I've been buying Fenix products for about seven years and haven't been let down yet.

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.

Just as advertised. Shipped quickly. Good quality item.

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.

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.

Did everything I wanted

Works great! Two different batteries charging at same time tons safety features but don’t charge unsupervised just in case. Three different ways to monitor charging nice lcd screen Worth every penny
