Customer Questions & Answers
What advantages does the LCD screen on the XTAR VC2 charger offer compared with chargers without a display?
The XTAR VC2 LCD screen lets you monitor each battery’s charge in real time, showing charged capacity, charging status and anomaly detection, which makes it easier to identify actual performance and spot faulty batteries — something not possible on models without a display.
What types and sizes of lithium-ion batteries can I charge with this device?
The XTAR VC2 is compatible with 3.6/3.7V lithium-ion batteries in 10440, 14500, 14650, 16340, 17500, 17670, 18350, 18500, 18650, 18700, 22650, 25500 and 26650 formats. It is not compatible with NiMH, NiCd or other battery types.
What is the charging current range and how does the charger determine it?
The charger automatically selects the charging current between 0.15A and 0.5A (150–500 mA, ±50 mA tolerance) according to the input power and battery type, maximising safety and compatibility with the USB power source.
What happens if I insert a faulty battery into the XTAR VC2 charger?
The XTAR VC2 identifies defective or damaged batteries and displays a warning on the LCD, preventing charging and reducing risk. However, detection is based on electrical parameters, so damage that is not electrically visible may not be recognised.
Does this charger require special maintenance, and what is its estimated lifespan?
It requires no specific maintenance beyond periodic cleaning of the contacts and avoiding exposure to moisture or excessive heat. With proper use and by avoiding overloading or drops, the estimated service life exceeds 5 years, but this depends on frequency and conditions of use.
Which battery types is the XTAR VC2 charger compatible with?
The charger is compatible with IMR lithium-ion batteries and small-capacity batteries, including models such as 10440, 14500, 14650, 16340, 17500, 17670, 18350, 18500, 18650, 18700, 22650, 25500 and 26650 of 3,6/3,7V.
Can I use any USB adapter with this charger?
Yes, the XTAR VC2 charger is compatible with any standard USB power adapter.
