The Xtar VC8 follows on from its brethren VC series, but gets a whole lot wider with capacity for eight, count ’em 8 batts at a time! That’s with no skimping on the bay size, it takes a full cohort of 21700s easily. The VC8 is powered by the included Type-C cable, simply plug it into a fast charging USB port and you can charge at up to 3A (on a single cell)!
The VC8 can also test your batteries capacity, and even increase your batteries’ lifespan in the first four bays if you choose those modes. The charger also detects your batteries type for optimal and safe charging including Ni-Mh and Ni-CD, can swap between charging currents and all the usual Xtar quality like recovery mode and excellent screen with all the detail you’ll need.
The charger is constructed of tough and fire resistant ABS materials, and has overcharge, reverse polarity and short circuit protections. Keep it safe, silly.
