\"UltrafireFlashlight-and-BatteryCharger\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Steven, for sharing this very affordable battery charger for the\u00a0Tecsun PL-880 batteries. Steven writes:<\/p>\n

“I never purchased a stand-alone 18650 battery charger for my Tecsun PL880 radio because I felt the in-radio on wasn’t good enough. With several batteries it became a bit more of a problem keeping track and setting time aside to use the radio as a charger. Anyway, I came across amazing deal from Amazon that I just purchased<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For $9.68 out of pocket including slow shipping you get a super bright flashlight claimed to be 1000 lumens, which is probably a bit overrated. It also includes a double cell 18650 charger and one 3000ma 18650 battery – probably overrated too but all for under $10. I couldn’t pass it up.”<\/p>\n

Click here to purchase from Amazon<\/a>\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I will pick up one of these chargers, too. Like you, I find that sometimes I would like to be listening to the radio instead of using it as a charger. I especially love the size of this charger–might just fit in my radio go bag.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks again, Steven!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
