About XTAR VC4SL Battery Charger
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
76% liked the high quality build, but 24% found it weak
This charger is one of the few good quality ones that can charge protected 21700 cells, which is a necessity for me.
I gave a 2-star rating for the build quality of the battery charger. Although I liked its appearance and interface, its performance was disappointing.
I believe the issue is related to a design flaw rather than a defective unit.
I am probably going to try a replacement VC4SL for this evidently defective unit, indicating that the build quality of the charger is not up to the mark.
82% praised for its fast charging speed, but 18% found it slow
I can charge my batteries correctly with the various charge speeds available in the charging function.
The charger has 5 selectable charging currents for fast charging when needed and slow charging for better battery life. It also has safety features to prevent overcharging and allow for full charging.
This charger is fast, intelligent and has useful features like storage and grade mode which is a must have when I have so many different batteries.
The Grade Mode cycle takes several hours to complete, hindering my ability to evaluate the problem further.
76% found it easy to operate, but 24% had difficulties
The charger is easy to use and convenient as it is compatible with USB-C quick charge bricks.
I have a charger with many cool settings, including the ability to discharge batteries and then slowly recharge to help prolong battery life.
I find this charger to be fast, intelligent, and equipped with many useful features such as storage and grade mode, making it easy to use with multiple batteries.
I find the instruction manual difficult to read due to the fine print, which is the only drawback.
75% liked the built-in safety features, while 25% experienced issues with faulty charging
The charger has safety features for full charging and prevents overcharging. It also has 5 selectable charging currents for fast or slow charging.
I warn that this product is a fire hazard due to its defect.
