Thanks man, I think I'm going to give the charger to my friend. I just need something more sturdy like Efest SODA. How about the i2/i4? I heard that those charger take a long time to charge 2x18650. Also, what about the D2 that you owned? How much time does it take to charge up 2x18650?

My D2 took about 4-5 hours to charge 2 batteries, each bay charges at 500ma. However after like 2-3 months it decided it was only going to charge my batteries to 4.07 volts everytime (verified with my multimeter, even though the D2 said they were full). Stopped using it and went back to my xtar MC2 which charges them perfectly. Get an Xtar, its a little more expensive but you dont hear anywhere near as many complaints about Xtars as you do Nitecores..

Love my Nitecore i2, simple and does what it says, I find the efest to be poor quality, had nothing but bad experiences with them, display broke, metal slider stiff, cracked casing. My nitecore just does what it suppose to do, everyday.
The Nitecore i2 has no USB btw.
Yea my friend owned Efest LUC with 4 bays. It has rapid charging with 2000 ma for 2 bays. But the metal slider spring just broke after 3 months of use. I have some interest on the i4 and D2. Which one should I buy?

I did like the Efest LUC, really liked how you could see the volts but it's no good when it breaks so I went with the i2, less to break I guess, it does take longer to charger but not an issue for me having two sets of batteries.
As for which one to choose, I dunno, never used the D2..

I do like the design of the LUC, very biffy :D But after the slider broke, it just backed me up from buying them. Really miss my SODA, I reallty regret for selling her :( I saw the specs on the i4, with 2 batteries, it could generate 750ma. Is there any problem with your i2? How long have you owned yours?

The only problem is the slow charge and I do miss the volt reading but it has been solid for the last 6 months for my wife. I just claimed it for myself haha, or borrow it, everyday :)
