Xtar VC4 Multi Charger (Li-ion & NiMh)

THE VC4 HAS 4 INDEPENDENT CHARGING CHANNELS AND CAN CHARGE ANY CHEMISTRY. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MY "GO TO" CHARGER.  USB wall adapter (US Plug) is NOT included. If you want the adapter, please add it via the drop down.  Xtar chargers are top notch and the VC4 is a 6th generation charger. I searched high and low for the best value (performance + price) in a modern charger and this is it. the VC4 even shows you how much capacity was delivered during charge. Just like its two-station sibling, the VC4 displays detailed charge information on 4 separate charging channels. The VC4 also allows you to charge ANY type of rechargeable battery that will fit: Li-Ion, Ni-Mh, and even Nicd. The charger automatically detects the battery type and sets the appropriate charge parameters. You can even charge four different battery sizes/types at the same time because of the 4 separate charging channels. Be advised, you can plug the VC4 into any USB port to initiate a charge; however, a standard USB port only delivers 500mA of current. If you put in 4 batteries the current (500mA) gets divided by 4. If you use the 2A USB wall adapter you can charge 4 batteries at 500mA per channel. If you are only charging on 1-2 channels, each one will get a maximum of 1000mA.
