XTAR VC2 USB LCD Dual‑Bay Li‑ion Battery Charger

XTAR VC2 USB LCD Dual‑Bay Li‑ion Battery Charger

The XTAR VC2 is a reliable, USB‑powered two‑bay charger for 3.6V/3.7V rechargeable lithium‑ion (Li‑ion) cells. Its clear LCD status display shows real‑time charging information, including voltage, charge current and a cumulative mAh readout, so you can monitor both bays at a glance.

Why choose the VC2

• Two independent charging bays – charge two cells at the same time.
• Micro‑USB powered (5V input) – plug into a USB wall plug, power bank, laptop or car USB adapter.
• Smart charging control – three‑stage TC‑CC‑CV charging with automatic current adjustment (up to 0.5A per bay).
• 0V activation – helps revive over‑discharged “sleeping” Li‑ion cells where possible.
• Built‑in safety protection – reverse polarity, short‑circuit and over‑temperature/over‑charge protections.

Compatible batteries

Designed for 3.6V/3.7V Li‑ion cylindrical cells (including IMR/INR/ICR types). Common sizes include:

10440, 14500, 14650, 16340, 17335, 17500, 17670, 18350, 18490, 18500, 18650, 18700, 20700, 21700, 22650, 25500, 26650.

Note: the manufacturer notes that protected 20700/21700 cells are not supported. Always check cell length and fit before charging.

mAh readout (capacity insight)

The VC2 displays the mAh delivered during the current charge cycle. For the most meaningful “capacity” indication, start with a discharged cell and allow it to charge fully without removing it mid‑charge.
