Pros
- The Vapcell S4+ V3 is also a good charger that works for 14500-21700 lights easily
- If you're looking for affordable and still feature-rich, then you're looking at options such as the Vapcell S4+
- Personally, I'm into the Vapcell S4+ since I can fill all four slots without reducing charge rate on any of them
- I have had the Vapcell S4+. Have charged a 21700, 18650, 18350, and a 14500 all at the same time. Each automatically being charged at different rates, and worked flawlessly. It’s usually my go to when I recommend one.
- The controls for dedicated chargers like the Vapcell S4+ or SkyRC MC3000 can be critical when you're charging smaller batteries such as 14500s or 10440s. Being able to regulate down to 250mA charging for a 14500 cell or slow charge large...
Cons
- S4+ lowest current is 250ma but seems to hold the 10440 battery (a little) better the way the prongs are. ... That said with Both chargers the 10440 battery has to kind of float between the contacts in an awkward way

The controls for dedicated chargers like the Vapcell S4+ or SkyRC MC3000 can be critical when you're charging smaller batteries such as 14500s or 10440s. Being able to regulate down to 250mA charging for a 14500 cell or slow charge larger batteries when you're not in a rush can afford you better care for the batteries you have.
None of these are charging to 4.25V and most are hitting 4.2 very precisely. The +/- 0.05 on the package is to keep people from having something to complain about when it's 4.19 instead of 4.20.
For charger, would also recommend spending a bit more and getting the Vapcell S4+ V3 (probably from the official AliExpress store or similar)
I love my Vapcell S4+ v3 but you're not in for a fancy four-bay.
One of the most recommended is the Vapcell S4+ V3.0.
Mine is set to Manual mode and 500 mA to avoid the possibility of it even thinking about charging my 14500s and 18350s at a higher rate. ... Bonus points for monitoring cell temperature (first sign of charging problems), having each channel independent so I could charge at 3A on all four bays instead of the rate dropping as I fill the bays
