Review on πŸ”‹ EBL Battery Charger Combo: Rechargeable AA Battery 2800mAh (4pcs) and AAA Battery 1100mAh (4pcs) + Charger for AA/AAA/C/D NiMH Batteries by Todd Lowry

Unsafe, will smoke if 14500 battery inserted

Out of curiosity, I plugged in an EBL 14500 battery in the device to check how it would handle it.The answer is simple, it doesn't. The charger started to immediately smoke. The LCD went blank but the smoke continued. Looks like it locked up, this could easily start a fire.Did nobody think to add some protection.?
