The XTAR VC2 Li-ion Battery Charger is a sophisticated and reliable charging solution designed for users who demand both performance and clarity when managing their rechargeable batteries. With its compact yet durable design, this charger stands out not only for its functionality but also for its ability to communicate crucial battery information directly to the user through its integrated LCD display. The screen offers a wealth of real-time data including voltage, charge current, and most notably, the actual capacity of each battery being charged, giving users a clear and immediate understanding of their battery’s health and performance. Whether you're a casual user of rechargeable devices or a more serious enthusiast managing multiple batteries, the VC2 ensures you're always informed and in control.

The XTAR VC2 operates through a Micro-USB input, making it incredibly versatile and portable. This feature allows you to charge your batteries almost anywhere—at home, in the car, or on the go—using any compatible USB power source. This flexibility is particularly useful for users who travel frequently or rely on portable power banks, as it eliminates the need for bulky, proprietary adapters. The charger draws a DC input of 5.0V at 1.0A and uses an intelligent system to automatically recognize and adjust the charging current within a range from 0.1A to 0.5A, based on the needs of the individual battery. The maximum constant current for charging is 500mA ± 50mA, providing a safe yet efficient rate of charge for a broad range of Li-ion battery types.

Designed with safety and battery longevity in mind, the VC2 uses an advanced three-stage charging method known as TC-CC-CV (Trickle Charge – Constant Current – Constant Voltage). This method begins with a gentle trickle charge to test and prepare the battery, followed by a steady increase in current until a set threshold is reached, and concludes with a controlled voltage phase to top off the battery while minimizing stress and heat. This system ensures each cell is charged to its optimum level, with an end-of-charge voltage of 4.20V ± 0.05V and a termination current of ≤80mA, thus prolonging battery life and reducing the risk of overcharging.

One of the standout features of the VC2 is its 0V battery activation function, which is capable of reviving over-discharged or seemingly dead batteries. This is particularly beneficial for users who depend on rechargeable batteries in high-drain devices, as it allows the recovery and reuse of cells that might otherwise be discarded. The charger’s operating temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius also makes it suitable for use in a variety of environments, ensuring consistent performance across different climates and settings.

The charger is compatible with an extensive range of 3.6V and 3.7V Li-ion batteries, including IMR, INR, and ICR chemistries. Supported sizes include 10440, 14500, 14650, 16340, 17335, 17500, 17670, 18350, 18490, 18500, 18650, 18700, 20700, 21700, 22650, 25500, and 26650, making it a versatile choice for users with multiple devices and battery requirements. It is important to note, however, that the charger is not compatible with protected versions of 20700 and 21700 cells due to their extended length, which exceeds the physical constraints of the charger’s slots.

In terms of physical characteristics, the XTAR VC2 maintains a sleek and ergonomic profile, measuring 131mm in length, 66mm in width, and 33mm in height. Weighing just 109 grams, it is light enough to be carried easily in a bag or toolkit, yet solid enough to withstand regular use. The package includes the VC2 charger unit itself, a USB cable for power input, and a user manual that provides clear and concise operating instructions. This ensures that even first-time users can set up and begin using the charger with confidence and ease.

Overall, the XTAR VC2 offers a rare combination of intelligent charging, user-focused display features, and broad compatibility, all wrapped in a compact and travel-friendly design. Whether you're charging one battery or managing several, this charger provides the information and reliability needed to keep your gear powered and performing at its best. With its real-time display, gentle charging process, and ability to recover over-discharged cells, the VC2 goes beyond basic charging to offer a complete battery maintenance solution that is both practical and forward-thinking.
