Review on 18650 Battery Charger XTAR VC4S by Pavan Pelletier

Will only be sent in a padded envelope which came badly crumpled as well as the corner of the carton with the goods at this point of the envelope. The package only included the cable in that area and the charger was not damaged. ), socket/bank #4 consistently gives much lower readings than the other 3 banks. Removing the element and testing again in a different block gave a higher reading, so there is clearly something wrong with that part of the circuit. Incidentally, none of RevainBasics' high-powered items lived up to their advertised capabilities. The pair were close, but from 8 AA cells they averaged 2267.5mAh instead of the nominal 2400mAh. Similarly, AAAs were below what was rated. Next time I'll just choose Eneloop or Energizer (I tested 2x which were 5 years old and charged in an old broken charger that damaged some Kodak cells but the old Energizers are still within 50mAh of their ratings! ) I liked the display and features of the Xtar VC4S and have ordered another elsewhere - I hope it will work well in all banks. The Qualcomm QC3.0 USB input is extremely convenient as I can take this charger with me anywhere and take it with me for vehicle use or even connect it to my solar USB charger! The number of supported item types and sizes is amazing! It even charges new LiFePo4 cells.
