Snado Intelligent Charger, Snado LCD Display Universal Smart Charger for Rechargeable Batteries Li-ion Batteries 18650 18490 18350 17670 17500 16340(RCR123) 14500, Ni-MH/Ni-Cd A AA AAA Batteries

My wife has a Wonder Bible that uses a rechargeable 18650 lithium-ion battery. The unit's charging connection broke, so I needed some way to recharge its battery for her. This little Snado charger is awesome! The LCD display is perfect and highly visible. It plugs right into her laptop for power. I bought two more 18650 batteries from Amazon, so now we have two in the wings, fully charged. Very fast and easy for my wife to change thanks to Snado. Happy wife, happy life!

Used to work perfectly, now after about a months use, still charges my vape batteries full but won't say they are charged (all bars won't light up like they used to). I can charge it for a full 12 hours and 3 to 4 bars will alternate (meaning that it is between 75%-100% charged), rather than all 4 bars staying lit up like it used to. I'm completely disappointed. Can I have a replacement? It was expensive, considering I had to ship it to Canada. ‐---------------- EDIT: Promptly after this review, the company got in touch with me and gave me a full refund. I am VERY impressed with their customer service. One-offs do happen, so I don't hold the glitchy charger against them... in fact, I was referred to them and probably would have bought another, but just the fact that they gave me a full refund (with no questions asked) and then checked up on me a few weeks later to make sure I got the money and that I'm not using the product in case it damages any property I have... A+, Snado!!! Thank you for caring about your customers and being a stand up company, when it seems like there are so many others out there these days just trying to make a buck! I'd recommend them to anyone, and will definitely be buying a replacement.

This thing is great! Lightweight, very portable and just all around awesome. I will say it charges relatively fast but not as fast as some do, however I noticed the charge lasts much longer so I think that's a pretty fair trade off. This is important to get for your device's battery. Its really not good for the battery life or device to charge the battery in said device. It is much better for both the battery and device that you charge it in something like this. Charging the battery in something like a vape or whatever else you are using it for can shorten the battery life, short out the device, it can even cause the battery to explode as I've heard a few times from friends who work at smoke shops. This charger has a few key pros that I want to go over. 1.) Portability 2.) Efficiency 3.) Cost effective 4.) Helps retain overall battery life 5.) Dual battery charging 6.) Relatively fast charging The only thing I'm not completely sure about is how long these last, I've seen some reviews on here about them not working randomly or they crap out or stop working when dropped. I just have to say that I've dropped this, sat on it, left it jostling around in my bag, and god knows what else and it works just as good as when I got it several months ago. Maybe I got lucky, but I am going to say I think its pretty sturdy. I dropped it on carpeted floor which was still hard so I don't know how it would fare anywhere else like tile or hardwood. In conclusion, I love this thing and for the money, its well worth it.

I got this charger to use with a set of 14500 Li-Ion rechargeables. It proved to be OK for that, although I had some issues at first with cross talk on the display when charging just one 14500 battery (the second indicator sometimes acted like it was charging as well). With 2 14500 batteries charging simultaneously I had no problems. It's possible that my USB connection was not as tight as it needed to be, but the behavior was initially bad enough I thought the unit was defective. The charger is spec'd at 1A per battery. No other spec is given so it's not obvious it is actually intelligent enough to stay within LI-Ion charging specs. It does have a number of certifications, FCC, the EU's CE certification, and the ASTM international certification, which indicates it is safe, although these do not reflect the claim that it is "intelligent". In other words, you have to take it on faith it won't ruin or otherwise degrade a Li-Ion battery by failing to step charge or use some other intelligent process. Apparently it can tell if you are charging Li-Ion or NiMh, so hopefully that is not what is meant by calling it "intelligent". Pros: 1) LED active charge display 2) Uses standard USB phone charger cable 3) Designed to be used to charge most "can" type Li-Ion rechargeable batteries 4) Will also charge NiMh rechargeable types A, AA, AAA, AAAA 5) Excellent price point for this type of charger Cons: 1) Durability is in question, particularly given the cross talk issue I initially encountered 2) It's not as thin as I would have liked, although it is light and reasonably portable 3) The documentation is scant, leaving to your imagination just what makes this an "intelligent" charger. My overall rating is 4.5 stars. I'm satisfied with the purchase, especially given its price point.

Works great even after 6 months of use! Good value
