So, I LOVE my sound saber, and I'm fine with having to recharge the batteries every once and a while. I have one little issue though: I'm afraid of blowing up. Whenever I start to recharge my batteries, (li-on setup, of course), I put them in the rehcarger, and for some time afterwards, it makes a rather loud and scary buzzing sound. It seems to go away after a while, but I'm still afraid that the batteries will suddenly explode or start a fire or something. It's a tad irrational, but I just wanna make sure that the quiet buzzing is normal, and not going to blow me up. Thanks!

I've got a few US chargers and none of them make any noise. I would suggest emailing US and seeing if this is an issue. Good luck!

When the charge in the batteries is low, they will make the whining sound.  All of my chargers do this no matter what generation of Trustfire batteries I put into them.  It is not an issue.  I have had sabers for nearly 4 years now and only one battery explode in my pocket.  I think it made contact with a dime I did not know was there.  I now put a pouch on my belt to prevent this.

Interesting, Master Blue.  I have about 12 L-Ion batteries and 3 different chargers for them and I've never experienced this.  I could see how it would be...disconcerting.

Okay. thanks. It stops after a bit, so I think it's not a huge deal. Thanks for reassuring me.
