Chargers for flashlight batteries???

[lead slinger]

I just got some rechargeable lithium ion batteries for my olight s1a and was wondering what chargers you guys use and like. I'm looking for something good that will charge both lithium ion and nimh. I'm looking forward to hearing some responses. Thanks.

This is the charger I use. Doesn't break the bank and is the bee's knees. It'll charge both your battery types and sizes.

That looks nice. I will definitely keep that one in mind. Have you had any experience with Xtar? They have a very similar one (Xtar VC4) it looks like but with a four slot that also accepts D size nimh that my mag lite takes. Are they of any quality that you know of?

I love my Xtar XP4. It's been reliable so far and it has worked great. I also have an Olight Ombi-Dok that is working just fine so far, cheaper than the XTAR with fewer features.

I got one made by Panasonic on Amazon, for my Enelope Pro batteries.

I use a Nitecore I series charger. It appears to be similar to the Fenix mentioned above. You can charge to 1, 2, 3 or 4 batteries simultaneously. You can also charge different types of batteries simultaneously. Very convenient to have one charger for various types of batteries. I use to have 4 different cheap chargers for different types of batteries. It's "cleansing" to de-clutter.

I use an Xtar also and it has been very very good. Mine won't charge your sizes though. Just saying Xtar is a good product.

Thanks for all of the input guys. With the positive feedback from the xtar users I decided to go with the Xtar VC4. It does both types with all 4 channels independent as well. Looking forward to it!
