Overview
Not a charger for AA or AAA cells, the XTAR is a two-bay unit for lithium cells such as IMR batteries. It runs from a low voltage input, and an LCD shows the real-time status of each battery.
Flashlight and vape users get per-slot readouts and gentle soft-start charging in a pocket-size unit. The low output current means big cells take a long time to fill.
Who it's for
Owners of lithium-powered flashlights and gadgets suit this charger. People with NiMH household cells or in a hurry need a different charger.
Pros and cons
- Per-slot LCD status
- Soft-start protects batteries
- Compact and light
- Low charge current
- Charge time not listed
- Lithium cells only
Performance notes
Charge speed is set by the low output current, so large capacity cells take hours. Soft-start begins gently to avoid stressing the cell, and overheat protection steps in if temperatures climb.
