I think including the car adapter would make the deal much more realistic for the $17 price point, especially given how much business this forum brings to your company. Can you throw in the car adapter for free please?
It is about the same as ebay
Please note that this is the "II"-model.
ebay price for this jumped up some time ago.. I got mine for $16.xx, but the same listing is now $19.69
Even version II is still available for $16.69 on the bay.
Not tempting at this price...
A better offer please!
(and include tracking!)
The WP2 II can use the same car adaptor as the original WP2 according to Xtar. I think they could do a better price if combined with batteries or more than one charger as shipping costs them around $5-7 just for one charger, but only a few more $ to add another to the order.
That said, I would buy this charger at $25, maybe even $40 if that was what I had to pay, (and I didn't already have 2) it is very good.
Yep, cannot get this "II" for 16$ from eBay.
Repeating this doesn't make it true.
for 16.69$ or make offer
I was going to say you have better eBay than me but then I searched and looked again... And yes, 16,69$ seems to be the lowest including shipping.
Do you know if this includes the 12V power source, it does not mention about it at least... http://www.ebay.com/itm/XTAR-WP2-II-Battery-Charger-/110734141361?pt=US_Flashlights&hash=item19c844e7b1#ht_500wt_1156
edit: this offer seems to include adaptor (flat or round) but not so sure about that eBay link. Any experiences? I already have a 12V powersource so no particular need for another one...
Its without cardapter and only US Plug
I stand corrected. Can see it now. Somehow that didn't come up in my search results this morning. :/
But I agree that we could get a better deal. Maybe some sort of combo, like: Charger, car adapter + 2 XTAR 2600mAh 18700s
Or include same spacers for 16340s , as these don't seem to be part of the charger.
I agree.. Free spacer, or free car adapter at least. Or maybe a $20 combo with 2600 battery cell
So let me get this straight: There's a WP2 and a WP2 II? Is the difference USB charging?
Two free spacers come with each charger I'm pretty sure.
There are multiple reviews on CPF and here for the WP2 and WP2 II, the new version has a better charging algorithm, so is safer and easier on the cells, has two charging levels to select from (500ma and 1000ma) and also the USB discharge function. It is generally better fit and finish too.
There are many small differences, one is USB, another is lower terminatations current, i.e. batteries are filled better, especially small batteries. The V2 charger also has two current levels.
Why does the USB output only 500ma? Most smart phone chargers now need 1A and I would think 18650's would support this ok.
I do not know XTARs reason for 500mA, but 500mA is what a standard computer usb port can deliver, only usb3 or usb chargers can deliver more.
Yeah, I just figured most people would be charging something instead of plugging a mouse or thumb drive into it
