FENIX ARE-X1 - USB charger

Compact USB charger Fenix ARE-X1 for one 18650 or 26650 li-ion battery. When a charged battery is inserted, it also works as a backup power bank for charging USB devices (mobile phones, MP3 players and more).

The charger is designed for 3.7V and 3.6V lithium-ion batteries with a length of 65 - 70 millimeters. Charging current up to 1000mA, depending on the capabilities of the USB source to which you will have the charger connected (computer, USB power supply, mobile phone charger with micro USB). Charging time can thus range from approximately 4 to 10 hours. Thanks to its minimal dimensions, the charger is particularly suitable for travel.
