Just got this(for whatever reason my mod[VooPoo Argus GT 160W] wouldn't take a charge through the type c port, it would just lower the percentage..lol) and I love it. It charges my 2 AWT 18650 batteries wonderfully. I'll be getting another pair of batteries soon so I'll always have a pair on the charger and a pair always fully charged. Always have backup ammo on hand! Btw the Argus GT is also wonderful incase anyone is considering it. It's a great little pod/tank hybrid with nice airflow(though I could do without the bottom pour design, but you can always swap the tank out with a different one!) and a kickass sense of style, red and black leather!

To be safe remember to lay your charger flat on its back on a flat hard surface. DO NOT lay it on a cloth or any textile type surface, or a quality wood surface such as an expensive coffee or dinner table as it does get fairly warm, and can damage or blemish the wax or coating on delicate wood. Laying it flat on its back is safer than standing it upright, as heat does rise, and this charger's venting is designed to dissipate heat more uniformly and effectively when it is laying flat.

Hi, I just received this in the mail, checked to verify authenticity. All is well. My question is about the lights: I had 2 spare Sony VTC6 18650’s that I picked up from my local shop last week in anticipation of this charger. I run a smok al85 with an external single cell but can be charged via USB. I had not used either of the spares, but I popped them both into the charger 2 hours ago, and both sides are now flashing green at the bottom 30% indicator notch. Is this normal? In theory they should both have been showing close to full charged when I put them in slots, no?

This is because when charging two batteries the charger will give 0.5amp to each battery. It be can set it to charge the first battery at 1amp and when that battery is charged it will charge the second battery at 1amp. I think this Vick guy gets it wrong here when he says you shouldn’t fiddle with it but it’s quite clear in the instruction manual. Either way, it will take about 5 hours to charge two 2500mah batteries or longer for any higher rated batteries. Nitecore also do a 2 bay charger that will charge both batteries at 1amp each. Although it’s not advisable, to get round this I do charge my batteries overnight (as the New i2 charger has overcharge protection) but I place the unit on a non flammable surface in my hall close to a smoke alarm which can detect slightly burnt toast from my kitchen. In the morning I’ve got two fully charged batteries ready to go.
