Review on XTAR VC2 Rechargeable Battery Charger - 2 Bays for 3.6V 3.7V Li-ion IMR INR ICR 10440 18650 26650 Batteries by William Dean

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great charger, compact, one of the best.

I am very happy with this charger. It does NOT include a power adapter or micro USB port, can easily use the same chargers as most Android phones (make sure they have at least 0.5V output voltage, which is essential for maximum performance). It has nice grippy feet on the bottom of the charger so it stands nicely on a table. The display is really nice and full of information, the mAh meter can give you an idea of the remaining life of your batteries and although I haven't come across it, it states that it has a feature to let you know if you do it have doneso a bad /dead/battery. Charges button or button cell batteries of various sizes. The safety cut-out works perfectly and will stop charging the batteries when they are fully charged, so suitable for overnight charging. While I'm not used to leaving batteries there for more than a day, I'd feel free to leave them there if I forget. but I am not sure. Most likely just a travel bag (adapter, cable and charger fit in easily). Xtar makes great chargers. I could have gone for the 4 compartment version as this can be an issue if you have people to refill cells and you are waiting for a compartment.

Pros
  • Fits great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
