* [http://www.gearbest.com/chargers/pp_173012.html Opus BT-C3100] Popular 4-bay charger that can test capacity of cells at a selectable discharge rate of up to 1000mA down to 2.8V. Tests internal resistance of a battery to tell you how healthy it is. Charges at a user selectable rate from 200mA up to 1000mA with 4 cells or 2000mA with 2 cells. Can charge batteries to 3.7V (LiFePo), 4.2V (most lithium ion batteries), or 4.35V (some lithium ion batteries designed for this voltage). Also charges NiMH batteries. The BT-C3100 v2.2 ([http://www.gearbest.com/chargers/pp_173012.html $34] at Gearbest) appears to be the same charger as the BT-3400 which was sold at Amazon.

* [http://www.illumn.com/batteries-chargers-and-powerpax-carriers/nitecore-d4-digicharger.html Nitecore Digicharger D4] | * [http://www.illumn.com/batteries-chargers-and-powerpax-carriers/nitecore-d4-digicharger.html Nitecore Digicharger D4] An easy to use 4-bay charger similar to the I4 below, but with a digital readout for voltage and current (about $25-30) as well as a 2-bay [http://www.illumn.com/batteries-chargers-and-powerpax-carriers/nitecore-d2-digicharger.html D2]. Maximum charging current is 750mA, but only 375mA when charging 3 or 4 batteries (slots 1 and 4 share a channel, slots 2 and 3 are the other channel). Has an option for low current (150mA) for charging 10440 an 14500 batteries. Can also charge LiFePO cells which have a lower maximum voltage.

* [http://www.illumn.com/batteries-chargers-and-powerpax-carriers/nitecore-i4-intellicharger-2014-edition.html Nitecore Intellicharger i4] - 4-bay 2-channel charger (Bays 1 and 3 share a channel, as do 2 and 4). Charges li-ion cells as well as NiMH without the display and options of the D4 model. Does not have a low current option for smaller li-ion cells and is not for LiFePo cells. Usually around $15-20.
