    Surefire Fury 2018 dual fuel 18650/Cr123

    I haven't had time to run it steady for a step-down test yet, probably this weekend. i'll see what I can work out trying to post pics here, as I haven't posted any in a long while.

The I8 WILL charge C and D NIMH cells but only a max of 4 at a time in the corner oversize slots thats why i bought 2 so i could charge 8 large cells and still have room for other batteries if i need too. they will...
