First question is ive read there is a difference in the Pila IBCT and IBC?
But ive seen reviews where people use both the same way with the same batteries.
But im rather sure the IBC model is the one i need for 18650's and 14500 cells.
Second question gets tougher.
I have a new Trustfire TR-001 and it does fine so far and the lights go green at 4.18v and will trickle too 4.2v and at that point i pull them out myself, But im not sure if it will kick off itself or keep trickling and im not about to waste a new cell to find out.
But ive read the Pila will cut off at 4.18v and shut off current to the cell, Can it be adjusted for 4.2v cut off? Or will i need to hit the reset button to get more charge?
I know the Pila has more safety cutoffs in it so it can be somewhat worry free.
But besides that what can it do for my cells that will make them keep a higher capacity threw out their lifetime?
I guess what im asking in the end is why should i spend another $50 when all i will gain is better shut off protection? Or will there be more?
Trust me i want to spend the money, But i need to justify it.
Also pls tell me if i should only get the IBC version also?
Ive been reading reviews and searches so i can find as many answers as possible, But i guess being talked to directly may pry that money out of my back pocket.
