5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my charging experience for the better!

This thing is great! Lightweight, very portable and just all around awesome. I will say it charges relatively fast but not as fast as some do, however I noticed the charge lasts much longer so I think that's a pretty fair trade off. This is important to get for your device's battery. Its really not good for the battery life or device to charge the battery in said device. It is much better for both the battery and device that you charge it in something like this. Charging the battery in something like a vape or whatever else you are using it for can shorten the battery life, short out the device, it can even cause the battery to explode as I've heard a few times from friends who work at smoke shops. This charger has a few key pros that I want to go over.1.) Portability2.) Efficiency3.) Cost effective4.) Helps retain overall battery life5.) Dual battery charging6.) Relatively fast chargingThe only thing I'm not completely sure about is how long these last, I've seen some reviews on here about them not working randomly or they crap out or stop working when dropped. I just have to say that I've dropped this, sat on it, left it jostling around in my bag, and god knows what else and it works just as good as when I got it several months ago. Maybe I got lucky, but I am going to say I think its pretty sturdy. I dropped it on carpeted floor which was still hard so I don't know how it would fare anywhere else like tile or hardwood. In conclusion, I love this thing and for the money, its well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Charger is Well Worth the Money

I buy 100's of items off Bolo but I do not write reviews. In this case I have decided to make an exception. I bought this about 6 months ago to charge 18650 batteries. These are the batteries used in my vape mod I purchased after using an older pen model which has become antiquated. These batteries are in constant need of a charge which is why I own 3 sets and continually rotate them. The demands put on this charger through the constant switching of batteries is more then I had initially foreseen upon purchase and I probably wouldn't have bought this particular one had I known how much time the charger would require being in use, fearful that it would not stand up to the test. I would be wrong because this charger is not only dependable but it is durable. It's small, easy to use, does a thorough job and it does it in a timely fashion. Just snap the batteries in, hook up the USB connector to any matching port and let it run. There are lots of products that don't live up to my expectations but those aren't the one's I feel need to be reviewed as those products didn't suit my needs but they may suit someone else's and besides I was the one doing the research, assessing the item and choosing to purchase it. There are plenty of resources available to find out the specifics on an item if you want to take the time to look into it. I did feel drawn to review this particular item though because it was one of the few that surprised me by it's cost ratio compared with it's capabilities and durability. If you want an inexpensive charger that will sustain constant use and continue to produce stellar results then I would definitely suggest purchasing this item. I am very pleased with this charger after almost 6 months of rigorous use.

We bought this when we were in a pinch and needed charged batteries for our vape. Works great, no complaints!

I needed to replace an older charger that I only used twice. It didn't work well because the battery contact was poorly manufactured and the design didn't fully charge batteries. Bought a combination of EBL 18650 batteries and another wall charger. That charger was also unable to fully charge batteries although the contacts were firm and the batteries made positive contact.Went on another hunt. Decided to go with a model that had a display indicating the LEVEL of charge for each individual battery vs the typical LED red/green lights that will light with a single battery in the cradle but without any AC side power applied. That's stoopid. Went with a micro-USB connector device that needs a cube charger like a smartphone or your Bolo Kindle HD, instead of the typical power supply and charger assembly that is plug-in-the-wall designed and robs an outlet. Plus, when plugging directly into an outlet I go for that outlet that never gets used because it is in a goofy and hard to get to location. That makes it difficult to remember that it was left plugged in because it isn't with the other charging devices. Battery death comes really fast for these rechargeable batteries because overcharging results in battery damage. I also wanted a model that accepts other battery sizes, like AA and AAA Ni-MH, in addition to the 18650, Li-ion. I tossed that original charger from late 2016, piece of junk, and put the EBL charger I bought a couple months back into a storage box as a backup. Will likely put it out for sale in a garage sale or send out to the recycler.My option in use at this juncture was just received last week. Check out: https://www.Bolo.com/dp/B0721JP6FK/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_37Made short work on the partially charged batteries I had, but took some time (about three and a half hours) on the "dead-as-a-doornail" set of 18650's that were fully discharged. Nearly every device from tablet to phones and handheld technology like wireless keyboards and the AppleTV remote control are recharged using a high quality RAVpower "SMART" circuit equipped power supply. RAVpower devices are very highly engineered with a quality build. I've given way about a dozen of them as gifts in a variety of models. Every one of them has outperformed its predecessor. Loading batteries in this SEWE Universal Intelligent Charger by Seando, is a bit awkward for the newb like me, with several attempts launching batteries out of my hands and rocketing about three feet away. Would be a kids toy in about 2 seconds if I had children around who saw what had just occurred. I really like the basic charge level indicator that is easy to understand and this model's ability to charge a variety of battery types/sizes. The build quality isn't anything to be excited about and the lens over the display is soft see thru plastic and arrived with swirls and scratches. This is a low end knockoff device made in China with its typically minimal packaging and instruction set that reads a bit messy with, "If the battery was put into the charger reverse, the screen will splash". I was taught to associate "splash" with "liquid" so I'm not certain what a splash in the display is going to look like. I hesitate to challenge the behavior out of curiosity, but suspect the intention was to choose the word "flash". The Company's website is a bit cheesy and it's my first thought that this product came to market by a contract manufacturer who will put anyone's logo on any device if for a sale of 1000 of pieces.
