Moving into the 21700 relm but they don't fit any of my chargers. Any recommendations for a quality charger? I like to charge my batteries gently hoping they will last longer.

IMO, the SkyRC MC3000 is the best consumer charger for cylindrical cells with two drawbacks: price, and not fitting protected 21700 cells.
The new Xtar VP4L (new version of the VP4 Dragon with longer slots) can handle protected 21700, and should be cheaper than SkyRC MC3000.

Nitecore Ul1.

Basic, but works very well. Charges almost every type of rechargeable battery out there.

you can charge a 26650 or 21700 at 3A on the outside slot,, did it this morning.
If you don't want to do that, just use the other slots for 2A

fyi = Max output is 18W, so if you charge alot of cells at once, they might just be at 1A
if that makes sense
