XTAR VC4S Smart Battery Charger | 4 Bay
Good performance of the XTAR VC4S charger, simple to use, versatile and fast. With this charger we can recharge a cell quickly to a maximum of 3A thanks to the compatibility with the Quick Charge Micro USB 3.0. The XTAR VC4S also has the 0V activation function to restore excessively discharged batteries.
The VC4S battery station is made entirely of high quality flame retardant and self-extinguishing ABS. The VC4S is equipped with a large color display where all the cell information and their charging status can be displayed. It is possible to load cells up to 70mm long so it is for example 21700 and 20700 (but unprotected) batteries. The two side slots can accommodate two 32650 cells simultaneously, while only two 26650 can be loaded simultaneously.
The VC4S charge station has a temperature control system inside to prevent overheating. The XTAR VC4S is the updated version of the original VC4. The VC4S can recognize, display, and charge Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries at the same time while displaying charging current, battery voltage and charging capacity. The LCD backlight can be shut off and auto dims after 2 minutes to save power.
The XTAR VC4S supports the QC3.0 protocol and provides a maximum of 3A for each individual charging slot. It is equipped with a large color LCD screen that displays the charge status in real time and has protection against short circuit, overload and overheating. It is made of fire-resistant ABS material. It is also possible, with the VC4S, to reactivate excessively discharged low voltage batteries.
The XTAR VC4S automatically recognizes the type of battery inserted and adjusts accordingly, in this case setting a maximum charge of 3Amp. We see that the light indicator of the channel used becomes red (CH4). Then we see on the display the indication, in real time, of the battery voltage and the set charging speed (3Amp), we then have the indication of the type of battery chemistry (Li-ion). With this charger it is not possible to manually set the charge speed (mAh).

XTAR VC4 before it, the VC4S utilizes an external 2-amp DC power supply. One of the changes from the VC4 is that they went to a micro-usb plug, instead of a round DC port. I like this change, as it is easy to replace or find when on the go.
The XTAR VC4S The charger has a few different options for how fast it will charge. When connected to a 2-amp charger, placing batteries on the outer two slots will charge at 2 amps, but will also charge 3 or 4 batteries at .5 amps per battery.
VC4S will charge batteries up to their peak voltage, depending on the type of the battery and is compatible with Ni-MH, Ni, CD, and Lithium-Ion IMR, INR, and CR batteries.
