XTAR PB2S

Yeah, you need to actually pry into the crease between door and body to open it. It’s not likely to just pop open on its own.

Illumn has been advertising QC 3.0 AND PD charging, but the official specs don’t mention a 12v output. Judging from the OP, I suppose it doesn’t actually support PD?

Check out this review as it talks about the 12v output

The cons are high parasitic drain, inaccurate display, batteries must be able to handle 2A charging

that’s not all the cons:

5V-2,7A
9V-1,7A
12V-1,2A

Not full compatible with Quick Charge 3.0

I knew I forgot something.

Also expensive

It appears they did indeed. HKJ has now posted his review .
I’ve posted my review on my site as well.

The Rofis protected 26650 (69.6mm) fits, butt the Rofis protected 21700 (75mm) does not.

Yep, that’s how I charged my Cometa in a pinch.

Using the scientific miracle of a small wad of Al foil, I was wanting to charge a 14500 yesterday, too, but stopped when I saw it was charging at close to 2A. Didn’t want to cook it. Laptop port, too, so was hoping it’d be limited to 500mA.

So how does it work on smaller devices or did they screw the pouch again

I tested it in my review with 0.1A and it worked just fine.

Yes, the low current mode, accessed by holding the side switch, will charge my MP3 player and bluetooth headphones. The display blinks to indicate you are in low current mode.

I just received mine, how do I get it to fast charge the cells at 2 amps? I used a fast car charger, and a fast wall plug. It only said 5.1 volts input

The PB2S will need a USB charger/power adapter that supports QuickCharge 2.0 (QC2.0/QC3.0 or higher) protocol (or I think USB type-C PD2.0). I’m not very certain re the USB-C PD since that seems to function erratically, as per some people’s comments.

Just bought from illumn on sale.

I’m puzzled, does this have two output channels, with one of them using the labeled “input” socket?

AHA, edit,” HJK noted”:https://lygte-info.dk/review/Review%20Charger%20Xtar%20PB2S%20UK.html:

The little enclosed manual is printed in the smallest font I’ve ever seen. An online copy would be welcome if anyone has one.

Yes, it can output over both channels.

HKJ also noted:

Finally, a charger that will work with my little solar panel input.

Has anyone taken one of these apart? The other xtar chargers I have use screws and this one does not. As long as it is not glued, it will likely pop apart.

This form factor is begging to have a wireless charge receiver wedged in the case below the cells if it will fit.
