This is a three-step charging process for Li-ion cells. To ensure phases of the TC / CC / CV process are completed Multiple Protections Ensure Safe Charging *Built-in high-precision MCU, over-current, over-charge, over-voltage, and short-circuit protection, combined with XTAR's soft-start function, makes the precision of end-of-charge voltage up to ±1%. The charger will automatically stop charging after fully charged batteries, safe.. *Constructed from flame-retardant and fire-resistant ABS materials to extend the charger’s lifespan and ensure safety. *Built-in real-time temperature control protection system makes the battery charging process more stable. Test Batteries’ Real Capacity In grading mode (for CH1-CH4), the charger tests batteries’ real capacity by “charging-discharging-charging” the batteries. The VC8 PLUS adopts the standard 300mA stable discharge current to make the test more accurate. After completion, the screen will flash back to show donE and the capacity Maximize Batteries’ Lifespan The charger can charge or discharge the battery to its rated voltage in storing mode (for CH1-CH4), when the battery is not used for a long time or used for long-distance transportation, so as to maximize the battery lifespan and save energy. ---When the battery voltage is at its rated voltage, its self-discharge rate is the slowest and also most stable. Detect the Battery Type After inserting batteries, the charger will automatically identify the battery type, along with battery resistance and input power, to select the most suitable charging method, so that users don’t need to select manually Review: Excellent Charger! - This charger is simply amazing! As specified this is the XTAR VC8 "Plus" not the regular VC8, this one comes with its own dedicated wall adaptor/charger rather than just a usb-c cable like the vc8 comes with.. The great thing about this model having it's own dedicated wall adaptor/charger is that it will consistently charge all 8 ports at a solid 1A/1000ma which many chargers fail to do, all 8 slots at once! If you decide to only charge a few batteries at a time the charge current will go as high as 3A! So very fast indeed! If I were to compare this charger to another brand/make I'd say it's like an upgraded Youshiko YC4000, very smart intelligent charger and superb output current and furthermore the ability to charge 18650 and 21700 cells aswell as the standard AA, AAA, C and D batteries making it extremely versatile Displays current battery voltage and the charging current, plus it will display the battery type you are charging such as NIMH or Li-ion Great value for money for what you get and I would certainly recommend this model instead of the standard VC8 Review: 18650 battery charger - Works really well ## Features - XTAR - Technical Data: Xtar VC8 PLUS charger; three-stage charging method TC / CC / CV; 8 independent channels; LCD display, reactivation of deep discharged battery cells; Measurement of cell capacity and internal resistance, charging current: 1x3A / 2x 2A / 4x1A / 8x1A, power supply via 12V 3A adapter, protection against incorrect insertion of batteries, against short circuit; Complete operating instructions in English - Test Batteries’ Real Capacity: In grading mode (for CH1-CH4), the charger tests batteries’ real capacity by “charging-discharging-charging” the batteries, so that users can know whether the battery capacity is overstated or not, and also distinguish good-performance batteries with the bad ones - QUALITY: Xtar is a renowned manufacturer of high quality Li-ion chargers, flashlights and Li-ion batteries.

All other bays are instant.** A: For lithium batteries, the identification process takes about 10 seconds; For Ni-NH batteries, the identification process takes about 10~15 minutes. During the identification process, the charger will continuously blink the battery type. After the charger completed identifying the battery type, it will stop blinking and display the battery type, then start charging. Note: During the identification process, if the positive and negative interface of the battery are not in correct contact with the charger, which will also lead to take ages (many minutes) to recognize the battery and start charging. Here may we know what type of batteries were being charged at that time? **Q: Can this charge 18650 9800mah batteries?** A: 9800mah 18650 batteries? 🤣 **Q: Will this charge 1.5v lithium ion batteries** A: the VC8 PLUS can't charge the 1.5v lithium ion batteries, you can select XTAR BC8, which can charge rechargeable 1.5V AA AAA Batteries, and 1.2V AA AAA Batteries. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Charger! *by C***S on 28 June 2026* This charger is simply amazing!
