After changing out the batteries in the kids toys, remotes, Xbox controllers and all other sorts of battery Laden accessories I'll easily go through a 20 pack of AA's a week and it's making me crazy!

Then I realized, I have these really nice chargers that I use everyday for all that yummy vape gear of mine...

So the question is can I charge AA & AAA rechargeable batteries on a smart 18650/26650/18500/1835 charger?
I currently have an LUC BLU6 and Nightcore I4.

If so... anyone have any pointers in terms of which AA/AAA cells to buy?

You can if the charger is also suitable for nimh batteries. Otherwise not. Rechargeable aa/aaa batteries and li-ions have different chemistries and voltages. I think the Nitecore i4 can charge nimhs, but check the specifications to be sure. I don't know about the luc blu6.

The Nitecore I4 can charge NI-CD and NI-MH batteries - the LUC Blu6 cannot.
Thank you. It's kind of disappointing that Efest didn't allow for that in their chargers [emoji17]

But oh well, looks like I'll be bringing my i4 home from work so that I can recharge household batteries
