Are there any flashlights gurus here ?

Meaning mostly what chargers do you use and like ?

I have mostly nitecore chargers (D-2 and 4 ,.

CI4 and recently ordered a SC4 charger , cant seem to make up my mind.

Most all of my lights are Malkoff and two elzettas , one SF and some smaller 4 sevens(one batt)

Iam really wanting to find out about chargers , Iam no guru and my two D-2 an D-4 are my oldest chargers and all Ive had for awhile , recently bought the CI4 and SC4........Ive always been told that nitecore makes good chargers.

Iam obviously bored tonight and curious as to what others have.

I like easy to use and high quality

  Yep yep 😎

  Xtar chargers are the absolute bomb.  All the flashlight hobbyists that I know use them and they can charge protected and unprotected cells - I use the VC25L for all my cells and I have a broad mix of high quality 14500, 16340, 18350, 18650, and 21700 cells on all sorts of lights - Zebralights, Hanklights, Skilhunt, Acebeam, Sofirn, and Wurkkos are my main goto’s (but I’ll admit I have lots of OLights and really like their magnetic recharge cables - I also have those on a pair of Skilhunt H04RC’s, and that is an absolutely amazing light BTW)

  Well theres to many brands with two many modes .......LOL

  I was told to watch out for fake lumen advertisements  and that surefire was one of the most honest about lumens .......

  I can say that my Malkoffs are pretty much bullet proof , I accidently dropped one from the roof to the concrete driveway below and still worked just fine.

  Anyway thanks for your input ......dj

  /|\ My Surefire’s are all10+ years old - still work for many of my needs.

  I’ve just purchased Rovyvon’s for every family member. Smaller than my pinky& feather light so takes up zero room in pocket.

  I’m impressed with one called angel eyes it holds both a rechargeable lithium battery & an AAA battery as a backup.

  Just bought a brand new Surefire E2D Defender and a load of CR123A Energizer and Panasonic batteries. Got a decent deal on both. I still have a 200 lumen Defender which I still love and am definitely keeping, just an upgrade to a 1000 lumens. I have too many flashlights!
