Review on XTAR VC2S 18650 Battery Charger With Upgraded LCD Display, USB Output, and Battery Authenticity Check - Supports 10440 to 26650 Batteries by Lawrence George

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good device, but with a few weaknesses. Buy anyway.

This is a nice looking device that works well with Samsung fast charge. It's definitely better than my old school 4 seater. I actually prefer 2 bays as I only use 21700 batteries so the extra 2 bays on my old one were useless as only 2 could hold a 21700. Now for the cons: #1) When charging two batteries, the maximum charge is 1 amp. If you only charge one battery, you can get 2 amps. Good. But the charger could still switch to 2A charging when a battery is full. It's not like this. If both bays have batteries, the other will not charge at 2A even if one is fully charged. This will be max @ 1A. #2) Micro USB instead of USB-C connection. Almost all phone charging cables these days have USB-C. If you lose or damage the one that came with the charger, you won't be able to use your phone easily. #3) The screen is not very useful. It does look like a fancy spaceship display though. *** All in all it's still a very good buy and I would buy it again. *** I deducted two stars due to these issues, but so far I'm happy with this charger. It was relatively cheap and served its purpose. Some of the cost savings comes from a few missing features and the lack of a charger, but there are plenty of other fees. a device that ends up taking up space and making it less portable. I can easily use this at home, in the car or anywhere else.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Updates available
