XTAR VC8 8-Bay Smart Charger - Type C 3A Fast Charger, LCD Display for 3.6V/3.7V Li-ion & 1.2V Ni-MH C Batteries

Very fast charger. Haven't had one issue with it.

Works great on my vape batteries.

This thing is a total game changer for me. I have a handful of various 18650s. Known really good high-discharge cells, some ordinary ones, old power tool battery pack, "Eh, may as well see if I can salvage any of these..."Just buy this thing!Say goodbye to slowly charging cells 2-at-a-time (with no guarantee the cells even charge) (or that the charger even really works) and inspecting them one at a time with your multimeter. Say goodbye to wondering if the battery died because it's bad or because there's a parasitic drain from your Amazon special LED flashlight.Say HELLO to an easy-to-read backlit readout with realtime voltage and mah. HELLO to multiple functions, like the discharge test and the "store" mode that sets your batteries' voltage to 3.7 exact. Yeah, the additional modes are only on 4 slots. I don't know, get 2 or 3 of these bad boys. 5 stars!

XTAR VC8 is pure crap. I bought this to charge 6 to 8 batteries Li-ion small 10440 AAA sized 3.7V 350mAH batteries. IF it even charges four at the same time fully I would be happy, but it is a struggle with 3. You put in more than 2 batteries, and add another one it will instantly claim one battery is full or change the mA or voltage of the battery and start over or claim it is full, even not recognize the battery is there and remain blank. You have to space them apart and play musical chairs scenario will batteries trying random spots to charge 3. Put in more than 5 batteries, it will randomly change specs again and not charge some locations. Before someone claims it needs a stronger charger, I put one two of my strongest charger adapters that are 24W and 60W rated.This is the second xtar unit I purchased and the original 4 unit charger wasn't great , and now relegated as backup to charge NiMH batteries. I bought an EBL 4 bay unit the same time that is 1/3 the size and does a better job more consistent. I should've bought two of those at $13 a piece.

I've been using the XTAR 8 Bays Charger USB C Battery Charger for a few months now, and I'm extremely impressed. This charger is a workhorse, capable of charging up to 8 batteries simultaneously. The USB-C input is convenient and allows me to use a single cable to power the charger.The LCD display is clear and easy to read, providing real-time information on battery status and charging progress. The intelligent charging algorithm ensures that each battery is charged at its optimal rate, preventing overcharging or undercharging.If you're looking for a reliable and efficient battery charger that can handle multiple batteries at once, I highly recommend the XTAR 8 Bays Charger USB C Battery Charger. It's a versatile and durable charging solution that will meet all your needs.

I've been through multiple Nite Core 4 bay chargers but with 3 of us here that use 18650 batteries, I decided it was time to upgrade to a bigger charger. It does not come with a power supply so be prepared for that, but it works great. The slots are longer so it is much easier to put the batteries in and the fact that it also charges our AA batteries we use in the XBOX controllers makes this the perfect addition to my desk!Already planning on ordering a second one to keep in our camper

Thank you!

Good built quality, usb-c cable (charging block is not included), it charges the batteries but doesn't stop at nominal charge level and there's no way to set it, plus doesn't show how many amps (milliamps) have been or are present on the battery, only shows voltage which sometimes goes a bit over like i mentioned without a way to set it, don't expect it to balance the charge accross the batteries unfortunately, some will be full at 3.9v meanwhile some other will be full at 4.3 volts.If you're just charging batteries for flashlights or something small it's good enough, but don't rely on it to recharge individual cells for a battery bank or anything requiring balanced charge.
