Older Revision of Nitecore Intellicharger I4 Review
Nitecore Intellicharger I4 ReviewThe Nitecore Intellicharger I4 is a SmartCharger for lithium ion and NiMH rechargeable batteries. But it can also charge 18650, 26650, 22650, 17670, 18490, 17500, 17335, 16340(RCR123), 14500, 10440, AA, AAA, and C size rechargeable batteries. 
As you can see below, it comes in a very nice package. For about $20, it also makes a great gift for gadget lovers. Content (Unboxing)The package comes with the charger, the power cord, and instruction manual (see photo below). 
The photo below shows the specification sticker on the bottom of the charger. 
The instruction manual claims that the Nitecore Intelligcharger I4 charges 1.2v rechargeable batteries at 0.75A current. It's too high for charging a single AAA battery, which is fairly low capacity, by itself. Therefore, it recommends charging AAA batteries two or four at a time. Based on that warning, it seems that the charger shares its charging current among all of the batteries that are inserted into the device. Therefore, it will likely charge a single battery cell faster than charging four battery cells at the same time. OperationAfter plugging the Nitecore Intelligcharger I4 into the AC outlet, a blue light blinks, indicating that it is receiving power (see photo below). 
Once the batteries are inserted, the power level of each battery is indicated as shown in the photo below. As the batteries charge, the indicators will increase in level. 
When the batteries are fully charged, the indicators show full charge with three LED's (see photo below). 
I tried charging four 18650 3.6v 2200mAh lithium ion rechargeable batteries. It took several hours, but they all successfully charged to full capacity. Related Links
