*This charger cannot charge protected 20700 & 21700 Batteries.

So, what do I think about this Charger? The charger comes packaged minimally but that does not matter as this small charger gets the job done perfectly. Being able to charge 2 batteries at 1Amp current makes for super-fast charging which is what one would want from a small travel charger. I have tested the charger using a normal Huawei quick charger rated at 5V 2Amps and works perfectly. The batteries are charged fully in around 1.3 hours which is great. There’s not much to talk about this charger as it’s a simplistic user-friendly charger that works.

What about Looks? Is a tiny little travel charger that has minimal looks and no fancy screen. The LEDs will light up RED when the batteries are charging and change to GREEN once fully charged. Its very compact which makes it perfect to carry around out and about.

My Pro's Compatible with a wide range of batteries and sizesCharges batteries really quick (2x18650 batteries takes around 1 hour at 2Amps)Will automatically detect input current and adjust charging accordingly0V Activation Function will revive over discharged batteriesSimple LED status showing battery status (Red = Charging and Green = Fully Charged)Micro USB makes it portable and allows you to charge anywhere! Compatible with all 5V USB chargers.Easy to use with no modes, simply insert batteries and it will start charging.Stops charging if a battery is fully charged, so no overcharging.Very Portable and small My Cons's Cannot really find any? I could be picky and say maybe the USB cable could have been longer, but most people will probably just use the existing Cellphone USB charger cable.

My Verdict? For such a small charger its powerful and gets the job done quickly and efficiently being intelligent without having any modes or functions to choose. Simply put this is plug and play and I love it! No need to carry around a big charger when going out.

Would I buy one or recommend one? Yes, this is a great travel charger which is small and does the job as required.
