Brinyte UC02 Charger 2-Slot 1000mA for Li-ion Batteries Description
The Brinyte UC02 Charger 2-Slot 1000mA for Li-ion Batteries is a compact charger designed for cylindrical lithium-ion batteries, ideal for powering flashlights, headlamps, and other electronics. For example, it can charge two 18650 batteries simultaneously, ensuring your flashlight is ready for a night hike. With independent charging slots and USB-C input, it offers reliable functionality. Featuring a 1-year warranty, this Brinyte UC02 for Electronics Use suits tech enthusiasts, campers, and everyday users.
Reliable Charging for Li-ion Batteries
The Brinyte UC02 Charger is a 2-slot charger compatible with a wide range of cylindrical lithium-ion batteries, including 10440, 14500, 16340, 18350, 18650, 21700, and 26650 sizes. It features a USB-C input (DC 5V 2.0A max) and delivers an output of 4.2V at 1000mA per slot, allowing for efficient charging of two batteries simultaneously. Each slot charges independently, ensuring consistent performance without interference, though some users have noted that the 1000mA charge rate may be too high for smaller cells like 10440, potentially posing safety risks, as cautioned in web information. The charger includes LED indicators (red while charging, green when complete) but lacks a reset function, despite the user's query suggesting such a feature. Web information does not indicate a reset function for the UC02, which may be a misunderstanding or a feature present in other chargers like the Brinyte A02 keychain light, which has a lockout function often mistaken for a reset. This makes it a practical choice for charging Li-ion batteries, though users should avoid using it with smaller cells like 10440 and be aware that it does not have a reset function.
Durable and Compact Design
The Brinyte UC02 Charger is constructed with a durable plastic housing, offering a lightweight build at approximately 70g (without cables), making it easy to carry for travel or outdoor use. It measures roughly 110mm in length, 50mm in width, and 30mm in height, ensuring a compact footprint that fits well in a bag or on a desk. The charger features two independent slots with spring-loaded sliders to accommodate various battery sizes, though some users have reported that the springs can be stiff, making it slightly difficult to insert or remove larger batteries like 26650s. Its USB-C input enhances versatility for modern charging setups, but the lack of a reset function or additional safety features like overcharge protection beyond automatic shutoff may concern users looking for more advanced functionality. This makes it a durable, compact choice for charging Li-ion batteries, though users should handle battery insertion carefully and monitor charging to avoid potential overcharging risks.
Designed for Electronics and Outdoor Use
The Brinyte UC02 for Electronics Use is tailored for tech enthusiasts, campers, and everyday users needing a reliable charger for Li-ion batteries during outdoor activities or emergencies. For example, it can charge two 18650 batteries for a flashlight like the Brinyte PT28, ensuring you're prepared for a night hike, though its 1000mA charge rate per slot is relatively slow for high-capacity cells (e.g., 5000mAh 21700s may take 5-6 hours). The charger's independent slots and USB-C input make it versatile for travel or home use, and its compatibility with various battery sizes suits a range of devices, though it lacks support for NiMH batteries and may not be safe for smaller cells like 10440 due to the high charge rate. It's ideal for those needing a budget-friendly charger for Li-ion batteries in outdoor and everyday scenarios, offering a balance of capacity and convenience, though users should verify battery compatibility to ensure safety and be aware that it does not feature a reset function as requested.
