Xtar VC2 battery charger

The Xtar VC2 battery charger is compact and easy to read, for those looking for simple operation and a comprehensive product. This intelligent charger recognises the different types of IMR, INR and ICR Li-ion chemistry batteries in sizes 10440, 14500, 14650, 16340, 17335, 17500, 17670, 18350, 18490, 18500, 18650, 18700, 22650, 25500 and 26650. Its LCD screen makes it easy to see the charge level of each battery and the progress made. When the batteries are fully charged, charging stops and the message "FULL" appears. Your batteries are protected against polarity reversal; an error message will be displayed to indicate this.

For effective recharging, we recommend using a 1 A wall adaptor (not supplied).
