VICTAGEN Universal Smart Charger, Speedy 18650 Battery Charge for 3.7V Batteries 14500 Lithium ion 18490 18350 17670 17500 16340(RCR123), Ni-MH Ni-CD C IMR 10440 AA, AAA Rechargeable Battery

My review is a little wordy, but it has a happy ending so if you’re considering the Glorious Lite, please read to the end.I bought one of these to light an indoor stairway and the solar panel faced up into a skylight and the long 15ft. cable came in very handy without having to add extra wire to extend it.The supplied batteries were charged using the solar panel for 3 days before use as the instructions mentioned. After a week, the motion sense started to become unreliable and I returned it to Amazon.Fortunately, I read another buyers remarks about replacing the original batteries with better quality ones and he had no more problems, so I bought it again and this time purchased the Victagen charger and2-battery bundle, also on Amazon here:https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=victagen+battery+charger&ref=nb_sb_noss_1&crid=3TVXQSMY61OQH&sprefix=victagen+battery+charger%2Caps%2C136My thought was to use the Victagen charger to charge the batteries that came with the light and use the Victagen batteries as backup….well…the Glorious Lite batteries acted up again in about a week which I didn’t expect as we had plenty of light to keep them charged. I then installed the charged Victagen batteries and it’s been over a month and a half with no issues of any kind. Very bright light to illuminate those bottom stairs. The solar panel is doing its job and these batteries are much to superior to the ones that come with it. It’s too bad Glorious Lite couldn’t use better batteries because when they prematurely fail, it looks like it’s the lights, but it is just short-life batteries.The light setting are simple and easy to adjust so I fully recommend the Glorious Lite and the Victagen combination! The Victagen charger can also be used to keep other household rechargeable batteries charged and ready. And if it should be abnormally dark for long periods of time, the Victagen charger can be used to charge the Glorious Lite batteries that can be put into service should the Victagens ever need charging.Since I had such good performance from this combination, I wanted to help others since I was helped by another buyers feedback.

First off, I've been trying to find a truly all-in-one charging device for a while that was compact, of good build quality and not prohibitively expensive for a while now. I think this is it. Upon receiving the Victagen Universal Smart Charger, the packaging is professional and clearly identifies what the device can do (which helps as many Chinese products come with no instructions or almost no packaging).Inside the package:Universal ChargerUSB to micro-USB cord for charging (Cable ONLY, must provide your own charger but will work with any phone charger or even plugged into a desktop or laptop computer for charging)2 - IMP 18650 3200mah Lithium BatteriesInstructionsAfter a quick read of the instructions, which could use some correction by a native English speaker (not a huge negative, but there are just a lot of nuances to the English language that just don't translate very well directly from Chinese to English causing some odd phrases sometimes), however, I was still able to understand what was trying to be communicated of the capabilities of this device. I then went through the process of testing the capabilities and true range of battery chemistries this thing can charge. I have to admit, I'm impressed! I included pictures of the various combinations of battery types and styles I have charged so far with this device and even testing its functionality of being used as power bank (when reversing the charging cord and placing a charged battery in the left port, you can charge different devices from the battery pack, it's not a fast charge rate, but could be ideal if away from regular outlets like on a trip or something). I charged the IMP 18650 Lithium batteries that came with the device, my own flat top style unprotected 18650's and mixed them to test the charger's ability to charge two different battery compositions at the same time (most chargers I've used before only allow charging of identical battery types). I then mix-and-matched charging with some Ni-Cad AA batteries I had, all charged fully without any issues. This device allows both ports to test each battery independently for it's chemical charging profile (Ni-Cad, LiPo, etc.) and then set the charging rate to regular or trickle charge with a built in overcurrent protection and will prevent charging if a battery is put in upside down with reversed polarity. If you're looking for a versatile battery charger to work with both LiPo and Ni-Cad batteries, this is it!

This is a good battery charger, but the included batteries are just a little too short, and I had to use extra tension on the springs so they will stay in place when installed in my radio. Other than that, the batteries seem good, they last longer than the batteries that came with the radio, but I just had to stretch the springs so they would fit. Keep this in mind when you get this charger and battery combination set.

This charger worked just fine. I like that it so versatile, and charges many other types and voltages of batteries. I really like the led state of charge lamps. I have other chargers that just have a red charging and green charged lamp. I'll probably never use the feature that will let you charge a cell phone with the included power cable that doubles as a charge cable, kind of a bonus feature. I like it so far; thanks.

It's a rechargeable battery charger. Does what it's supposed to do; the important thing to remember is although I already had other chargers (from other purchases) this one replaced them all. It charges multiple different sizes quickly and without fuss. Would recommend.

The two bay charger is very easy to use and seems to charge fast.
