The Fenix ARE-A4 universal four-channel charger is designed for both 3.7V/3.6V Li-ion and NiMH/NiCd batteries. Each charging slot is monitored independently so that batteries of different sizes, capacities and even different chemistries can be charged simultaneously (both Li-ion and NiMH/NiCd can be charged at the same time). It automatically detects the inserted battery type and selects the optimal charging algorithm.
The charger can charge Li-ion batteries type: 26650, 22650, 25500, 21700, 20700, 18650, 17670, 18700, 14650, 18500, 18490, 18350, 17500, 14500, 16340, RCR123, 10440 and NiMH batteries size AAA, AA, C. The charger can hold only two batteries of size 26650, 22650, 25500 and C, the other sizes listed can be charged up to four. The charger can also charge protected Li-ion 21700 and 20700 batteries.

Using the Fenix ARE-A4 Charger
Plug the charger into a power outlet. The display will light up. When the batteries are inserted, the display will show the battery type and charging status. The button at each charging channel is used to switch the displayed information in order: voltage - charging current - charging time. By holding the button for a long time, the display can be switched off and then switched on again and the current battery voltage will be displayed again.
Warning
- Do not charge Li-ion cells that have undergone an over-discharge condition (below 2V).
- Do not insert batteries into the charger in reverse (reverse polarity).
- When using the charger, observe safety guidelines.
- We recommend using high quality protected Li-ion batteries.
- Not intended for charging LiFePO4 batteries.
Warranty
Legal two-year warranty.
