* [http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1251~r.72863811 Ultrafire WF-139] - Rarely recommended, but this two-bay charger seems to be used often and is less expensive than the Pila. Some models seem to charge batteries over 4.2 volts, while others seem to terminate correctly. It can do various sizes of batteries up to 18650, but the charge rate is too high for 10440's. It has two independent bays. In addition to DealExtreme, it is available from AW, Lighthound, and some other online dealers. Less than $20. | * [http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1251~r.72863811 Ultrafire WF-139] - Rarely recommended, but this two-bay charger seems to be used often and is less expensive than the Pila.
