Description
The TrustFire TR-006 Charger for Li-Ion Batteries is a dual-slot charger designed for 3.2V LiFePO4 and 3.7V lithium-ion batteries, ideal for powering flashlights or other devices. Its ability to charge batteries up to 26650 size makes it perfect for users needing to charge high-capacity cells for outdoor activities. The adjustable voltage switch adds versatility. With a 3-year warranty, this charger suits flashlight enthusiasts, campers, and tactical users.
Versatile Charging for Multiple Battery Sizes
This charger supports a range of Li-ion battery sizes, including 16340, 18650, 25500, 26650, and 26700, with a voltage switch to toggle between 3.0V (for 3.2V LiFePO4) and 4.2V (for 3.7V Li-ion). It uses a three-phase charging algorithm: 850-900mA for 2.7-3.4V, 650-700mA for 3.5-3.6V, and 500-550mA for 3.9-4.1V, with a charging time of 4-5 hours for two 25500 3000mAh batteries. Each slot has an LED indicator (red while charging, green when complete), though the green light can be misleading as the charger continues a trickle charge at 70mA after reaching 4.13V, which may wear down the battery if left plugged in too long.
Durable and Functional Design
The TrustFire TR-006 Charger features a slightly rubberized surface for better grip and durability, with a universal mains input (110-240VAC, 50/60Hz) and a 12VDC input for car use. It measures approximately 120 x 60 x 30mm and weighs around 150g (without cable), making it portable for travel or outdoor use. The charger’s dual independent slots ensure each battery charges without interference, though the tension on the movable contacts can be high, making it tricky to insert smaller batteries like 16340. Additionally, its maximum temperature during charging can reach 64.1°C, which is acceptable for batteries but indicates the charger itself gets hot.
Designed for Outdoor and Tactical Use
The TrustFire TR-006 Charger is tailored for users needing to charge Li-ion batteries for flashlights or other devices during outdoor activities like camping or hunting. It is appreciated for its ability to charge 26650 batteries for high-drain flashlights. However, the charger’s lack of proper termination (continuing a trickle charge after the green light) can be a drawback for battery longevity, and some users report issues with the 220V plug not being suitable for 120V regions like the USA.
