I need a charger for 18650 batteries, so I ordered this charger from DealExtreme: http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15608.
This is the one I received: http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15607
The one I received says it'll work with lots of different batteries, but 18650 isn't one of them. Does anyone have this charger, and if so, will it work for your 18650s? It looks like an 18650 is 65mm long, and an 18500 (the charger I received will charge an 18500) is 50.3mm. That's quite a difference, so I'm guessing this isn't going to fit. I'm not about to open the package until I hear back from DealExtreme.
I'm bummed. I placed the order on December 7th, and at the time everything was in stock. Everything shipped separately, and I'm getting package 2 of 3 23 days later. The batteries didn't ship until two weeks after the order was placed. I haven't received them yet.
I received the flashlight I ordered (http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12060) and I'm itching to try it out, but that's not happening without a charger and batteries.
