When you first put the 26650 in, charging is with 2A (at 4:40). Later, with all slots filled, it seems to charge the 26650 with 1A only (at 8:05). Why? (All in all it looks good, with a lot of information, and charges 21700 too) Thanks for the presentation!

Yes times vary due to video editing but testing products often takes much longer which you don't have to wait for results. Thanks for watching!

Nice video 👍 Would this charger take the Samsung 50E 21700 5000 mAh button top battery.

Thanks for your review. Will the powerbank function, work only with Li-ion battery and only in the fourth slot?

Yes, you can use 1 to 4 batteries to run the power bank feature. Thanks for watching!

This is strange to see that it's supposed to work with Li-ion batteries, because in my case it doesn't. I just got a freshly unpacked Xtar X4 to recharge Windfire batteries (LC 18650 4000mAh 3.7V Li-ion) and it doesn't seem to recognise these batteries even after 10 minutes. Of course these batteries are empty, so I tried to recharge them with that Xtar recharger...no luck, the batteries stood empty and did not allow me to use my lamp torch. What's the problem then? Edit: I have tried with a Varta battery (AA LR6 1.5V...it's all that's written on it) and it worked just fine. Is it because the voltage of the Windfire batteries is too high?

Hi sir. Is this the best rechargeable charger you tried of all? Or can you recommend others such as Astrolux vc04 or nitecore perhaps?

How does this compare to the VC4S? Does the X4 have capacity discharge capability?

This is another new model which is upgraded from the VC4 series. It does not discharge batteries. Thanks for watching!

Hi, just looking for a bit of advice about the Xtar X4 I just bought. At the end of a charge it will flash and say FULL and then flash 1144mah or 0000mah or 0065mah my current different batteries. What does this mean? Is it an indicator of the batteries health? They should be 3000mah. Does 0000mah or 0065mah or 1144mah mean the batteries are too old and needs disposing off with 0000 being the worst and 1144 being the best I have? I'm not sure.
@CharlesBridgTec4 жыл бұрын
It really depends on how much the battery has in power when you charge it. For example if you drain the battery to 2.5v then charge it you will see a higher mAh level verses one the is only partially drained. Thanks for watching!

@@CharlesBridgTec Ah ok. Well it doesn't matter now. The charger died on the first day of use with a loud pop and a horrible smell.
