The upgrade of the already successful vc4s has so far (3 days in my possession) charged decade-old batteries, but they are untouched in their box with zero charge from their mother. It remains to be seen... in a few days, I am expecting the new rechargeable ones (GP & eneloop).
It comes with a USB type-c cable and requires a quick charge 3 amp charger to perform correctly. During charging, it indicates how many milliampere-hours (mAh) are stored in the battery, and indicates how many mA it is charging (here there is an automatic selection that the charger will choose for the battery, or we can manually select between 5 levels: 3A, 2A, 1A, 500mA, 250mA).
Also, the indication of the battery's internal resistance is very important.
There is also a battery calibration function, a process that charges the battery, then discharges it and recharges it again... what surprised me is that it measures the capacity indication during discharge!
If it charged 1.5-volt lithium ions, I would say it is the ultimate amateur machine.
It came as authentic as I entered the unique code on the xtar website and it accepted it

It is the second time I have encountered a problem with a charger from this particular company. And both times I am out of warranty because 12 months have passed... With this specific charger, even though it has been used only a few times, now only 2 out of the 4 slots charge. Never again XTAR!

  Good for the money but it could be better, for example, it should display the battery charge, have a better screen, and a longer cable. Also, a way to charge other types of batteries, like 9-volt. Why should we buy 2 or 3 chargers when we could have one for everything?

  It's fine, no complaints.
  I don't charge it constantly, but every time I've used it, it does the job for me and quite quickly, I would say.

  It does exactly what it says. It charges correctly in all ranges (500mah - 3000mah).
  I have been using it daily for 2 months now, 24 hours straight, always charging 18650 batteries for an electronic cigarette and it hasn't failed. I only use it with lithium batteries and with a good type C plug. Clear and many indications. I highly recommend it, especially at €24.9, it has no competition.

  I proceeded with the purchase after reading the comments, but it turned out to be a bad choice. It doesn't fully charge and, furthermore, most of the time it doesn't recognize AAA batteries as Ni-mh but as lion. Disaster.

  After 8 months of use. It gets stuck and not all the ports work, it needs to be unplugged for a while and at some point it disconnects. Charging stops before the batteries are fully charged, so I have to put them in again and again until they reach the correct voltage.

  This review is about the charging ports: 2

  The review is about the VC2SL.

  It charges the batteries, but for about 17 euros I wouldn't have bought it if I had seen it more carefully or tried it. But how much time do you need to spend to get a charger?

  I bought a VC2SL and a VC4SL because (wrongly) I thought that the VC2SL would be the most portable version of the VC4SL. (EDIT: I note that I am very satisfied with the VC4SL which I have also purchased).

  However:
  - It is too big (about 13cm X 6cm X 3.5 cm) to carry it with you in a small laptop bag.
  - It is not functionally the same as the VC4SL since it does not offer any options. Everything is done automatically by the charger.

  Regarding its function:
  - It "grabs" the batteries well, although the positive pole slot does not seem very accurate and it has the ability to lift AA and AAA batteries slightly higher for ventilation.
  - The charger itself did not heat up at all with what I have charged so far (up to 2A).
  - It has a USB-C power input port which is very useful for portability.
  - It works as a power bank but I have not yet tried lithium batteries and the ability to use it as such, but I will do so as it is the only use that justifies its size.
  - It is so big that it is difficult to lose somewhere............

  Problems I encountered:
  - It overheated two brand new AAA Duracell batteries while charging them, not to the point where they couldn't be used but still (charging at 0.5A).
  - It recognized a NiMH battery as lithium. I imagine it would have "cooked" it if it had remained that way, so with a little shaking, I changed its classification to the correct type. I note that this happened in the 2nd charging slot.
  - The accuracy with which it displays the voltage is poor. Although I don't trust my voltmeter either, it does not show the same level of uncertainty as the charger's measurement. I am not referring to voltage readings that fluctuate between two values and can be explained: at the moment, in the 2nd slot, it shows a battery voltage ranging from 1.3 to 1.55V, playing with any intermediate values (1.45 and 1.5V).
  - The 2nd charging slot is unstable. It has so far indicated that batteries were either fully charged or at zero voltage when neither was true.
  - As there is a need to sometimes move the battery slightly to lose contact, in the end, you do not get an accurate measurement of its total capacity.

  In the end, it has charged all the batteries I have put in it so far, with some reinsertions, so it is not a complete failure but I cannot have much confidence in it.

  Quite good charger, although sometimes it gets stuck and charges the second battery even if it's not needed

  This review is about the charging ports: 2

  It does not charge the second battery (VC2SL). I tried with different branded and non-branded batteries. I had a VC2S that charged the right one first and then the left one, and I expected it to have the same behavior, but it burned out. These are sensitive products with low-quality circuits.

  In the user manual, it states that it accepts a charger up to QC3.0 (5V-3A or 9V-2A). However, it also mentions that it can provide 4A x 4 if we have four batteries charging simultaneously!
  I noticed that it would only charge some of my batteries up to 500mAh, for example, and if I removed them and reinserted them, it would give them an additional 100mAh. This only happened with NiMH batteries and not with Lithium ones.

  It was mainly purchased for charging 21700 batteries and replaced a nitecore new i2 that I had, which was a complete disappointment. It charges quickly and does not overheat.

  The charger is incredibly fast! I had the old XTAR VC4 at 1000ma and this one is 3000ma with fast charging! Day and night difference! Of course, I also bought a 3A wall charger. It is also excellent in terms of indicators and the 4 batteries, with 4 screens instead of 2, and a type C port which is very practical!
  The five stars are not enough for what it offers, such as quality and price! I highly recommend it without hesitation!
