XTAR VC4H 18650 Battery Charger 4 Bays Universal With LCD Display USB for Li-ion 3.7V 16340 18350 20700 21700 26650 1.2V NI-MH NI-CD AAA AA

I was upgrading some vape kit. Purchased a set of four 3500 Fogstar batts (from the company itself, as Amazon didn't have them at the time), treated myself to another beautiful RPM 160 mod to go with my previously purchased two (I love RPM 160s!) and Amazon, seeing what I was doing, suggested I might like a nice new charger at a VERY attractive price. Well, okay, I could use the capacity ...But oh how wonderful this charger has turned out to be! First things first - it's a USB C connection, but don't be scared, they include a cable. It has space for FOUR batts at a time (or channels, I believe is the techy term). The LED display is kind of like Chekov's console on the Enterprise, for you Star Trek fans. It has huge amounts of information about the charging - how low the batts were, how they're doing in the "channels", and when they're ready to roll.As for speed of charging, I can't commit to anything. I'm running a 10 port USB hub, not bags of power, but decent. I put the batts in, check on them, pull them out when done. Due to power demand from other tech in the hub, I think I manage from 0.5 to 1.0 Amps. But to be soul searching honest, I don't care how long they take. The serious vaper has spares EVERYWHERE. And they go into the machine when they have to - it's the way it is.But I REALLY like this charger. The price was great, the capacity's great, all the weird techy info is cool (you can turn it off, but it looks soooo good!), it does the job well, and my 3500s are revved up when they come out.So. Yeah. Need a four battery charger at a reasonable price with great performance? Here you go.

Works perfectly, easy to set up and use, charges quickly when just two batteries in it, and even 4 is quick, much easier to remove batteries too than the older versions

If you put batteries in before plugging in the charger it'll keep resetting itself for a few seconds to moments until it decides to start charging. But I'm gonna assume this is just a technical issue related to some kind of safety feature in some way.The problem I have with this is the load will go down to 0.5amps after a few moments on its default 1amp load. But it stays on 1amps when you adjust the power again if the power supplied can sustain it.The charger does charge upto 2amps but only one battery at a time. Not noticed any other issues besides the above. But finding out the real battery capacity is a bit misleading as you can't drain the batteries in this charger and most devices won't drain batteries completely dry. But the display on how much power the batteries are receiving does give a rough estimate if they were flat before charging. only displays upto two batteries at a time but can charge 4 at once.

Excellent charger, looks like the dash of an airplane. Seems to charge faster than my previous charger. Definitely recommend

Very well made charger. It has all the features required for safe charging. Nice clear display. 5*****

Excellent found that since having this charger my batteries charge to 100% and last longer than when I previously charged them in situ.

Just a quick early note to confirm this works with 18650 Protected batteries, which is what I immediately needed.Bigger than I expected from pics, which explains how it can it apparently fit C and D batteries as well!Early impression is technically promising (supports a lot of battery types), kept simple (good for me as I've never got on with expensive, complex high-end chargers, though there times when useful), funky display, but feels a bit cheap, so still making mind up, and will compare with other new and older chargers to see how I get on. Not run hot, yet, which is another good sign (one reason I chose over other, often cheaper alternatives).

Worked fine when I got it, after a few weeks charger slown right down taken over 14 hours to charge my batteries now.
