Review / Measurement: Charger Xtar VP1

Does the VP1 come with both the AC and DC charging cords?

Mine came with the UK mains lead and a 12v car cord.

In my pack it did and I just bought it from a shop.

It depends on the set. XTAR makes a SET A and SET B. The difference is the inclusion of a DC charger. Set B with the charger is more expensive.

Thank you!

Would it be possible to update this thread with a photo of the thermal imaging on the VP1 charger? It would be much appreciated.

I will try to get that done.

Thank you sir! :slight_smile:

Just ordered one of these from Fasttech for $31.25 using the BLF discount code. Looks like an awesome charger!

Oh I forgot to mention, great review HKJ! All your reviews are very informative. Thanks!!

wow. Thank you Sir. This might me the missing charger I so needed :slight_smile:

no support for 16650?? Hum.

I cannot list all supported battery sizes, anything close to or between the listed sizes will work.

I never heard of a 16650 before

Sanyo has one: http://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Keeppower%2016650%202000mAh%20%28Black%29%20UK.html

Thanks man!

double thanks!

Was going to refer to this thread!

When I ordered from Fasttech last Sunday, they were in stock according to their website. 3 days later it still hasn't shipped, so I sent them a message asking them why. Here's their response. Are they full of shit or what? Are there really production problems with this unit?

" Thank you for ordering from FastTech.

We apologize that the item you purchased SKU 1450109 is currently out of stock due to the production problem, we have been looking for alternative sources of supply these days, but we could not find it from the markets or manufacturers.

Sorry for causing you such an inconvenience, the suppliers confirmed to us that they can only provide the stock in several days, would you mind wait for the stock? Or if you prefer to have a refund for this item, please let me know and I will arrange for you right away.

Thanks a lot for choosing FastTech.com, and we are sorry again for any inconveniences caused."

Maybe they have increased demands or problems with parts supply. Only 5$ extra compared to the WP2s…

Maybe a silly question (but someone has to ask em right?) will there be a 4 bay version of this exact charger? Kinda like a VP1 / XP4 hybrid. XP4 seems okay, I just like the LCD display feature of the VP1.

Also, is there a chart somewhere showing ideal / optimum charging currents? eg: 10440 should be charged at 0.25 etc etc

you mean by XTAR?

or not necessarily them?
