Nitecore F1 18650 Charger with USB

Description

Overview

The single-bay F1 Li-Ion Battery/USB Charger from Nitecore provides an all-in-one charging solution for many commonly-used cylindrical rechargeable batteries. Ideal for use on the go, you may use solar panels or any 5V USB source for power. It is compatible with lithium-ion and IMR 26650, 18650, 17670, 18490, 17500, 17335, 16340 (RCR123), 14500, and 10440 batteries. The base automatically detects the needs of each battery inserted and determines the correct charge for it. When a charged battery is inserted in the unit, it can function as a power bank, transferring power to another USB device.

Additionally, it will set the charging mode to optimise the battery charge: constant voltage, constant current, or trickle-charge. Power and charging status LEDs clearly show the progress of each battery, and over-charge protection circuitry cuts the charging current to prevent damage to the battery. Gold-plated contacts help increase power transfer and reduce corrosion.

Key Features

Automatic Mode Selection

• Circuitry automatically detects the size, chemistry, and capacity of each battery inserted
• Determines the correct amount of voltage and current for each type
• Sets type of charge from constant current, constant voltage, or trickle-charge, depending on the needs of each battery
• Over-charge protection prevents damage to battery by automatically stopping current when battery reaches capacity
• Turns off power bank output when source battery goes below 3.3V
