• Protection: short-circuit, against reverse battery insertion, against overcharging, against using too high charging current

The VC8S is an upgrade to the reputable and popular VC8.  VC8S is a charger with a three-stage charging process TC/CC/CV for Li-ion cells and 0ΔV and -ΔV for Ni-MH batteries. It charges 1-8 Li-ion 3.6 / 3.7V and Ni-MH cells of any capacity in sizes AAA/R03, AA/R6, 10440, 14500, 14650, 16340, 17500, 17670, 18350, 18500, 18650, 18700,18700, 20700, 21700 - also with protection, 22650, 25500, 26650. In the two extreme channels it is possible to charge batteries with low internal resistance even with a current of 3A (only 2 cell).

The Xtar VC8S charger has the function of reactivation of deeply discharged cells and cells with a voltage of 0V. Many chargers on the market are not able to charge such batteries. This is where the Xtar VC8S charger comes in handy, which in many cases allows you to rescue such cells. Simply insert a deeply discharged battery into the VC8S charger, just like normal charging - the charger will detect a discharged cell and attempt to reactivate it.

Remark! Cells discharged below a certain level are irreversibly damaged and may not be able to reactivate. Avoid too deep discharge of Li-ion and Ni-MH batteries - this can lead to a significant reduction in their durability and capacity or lead to their complete malfunction.
