SALTLIFE Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Put 2 brand new out of box in my charger (trustfire) and the light stays red for hours and they get extremely hot. My MNKEs get left overnight by accident sometimes and never get hot. Any ideas or is the normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Where did you buy them from? Mtdobies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Does your trustfire have auto shutoff once batteries are full? I do not trust chargers that do not have built in circuitry for safe battery charging. Especially auto shutoff once the batteries have reached full charge.

SALTLIFE Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Must have been a one time weird thing as they both took a charge now without a hitch. Maybe it's time for a new charger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthling789 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I don't have any MODs that use 18650 batteries (yet), but I do have a couple of 18650 flashlights. I'll chime-in that the NiteCore charger is top-notch and has circuitry to "read" the battery and optimize the charge. Once it is charged, the unit moves to "trickle/float-mode" to maintain charge and prevent damage/overcharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydick666 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've been having that issue too, but also with a sony vtc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
