*2016-09-01* New Charger: XTAR DRAGON VP4 Plus

$89.95 it seems…

:frowning:

Expensive quiet fan.

More useless bargraphs and counters on the screen, but missing battery voltage. Meh.

No. Just no. Thats about twice as much as I’d ever pay. I can get a mc3000 on sale for 90 bucks.

No way they can charge $90 for that… there is no reason to not go for the much more advanced MC3000 instead.

Price is a bit higher than expected. I was hoping for less than AU$100/US$75. Oh well, lets hope I’m lucky in a giveaway, or snag a review version, or the price comes down.

We will need a group buy.

90$ for a facelifted Li500? Xtar obviously lost its mind

$37 is the maximum I would pay for it.

Edit: Oops, where are the buttons for individual bay?

Me too. We need a group similar to A.A. to support each other in difficult moments, so no one budges and buys it for more than $37 :slight_smile:

+1

For that price $75 U.S. or less you buy two XTAR VP2 chargers.

I’d pay $50 maximum if it turns out to be a great charger with more bells and whistles than my pair of VP2’s .

I was waiting for this charger for some time. Price turned me off. Got the regular VP4 for a third of the price. Charging four 30Qs right now. This thing is sexy :wink: But why is the power cord so dang short……?

Perfect charger for my needs… but not for $90. I’ll be watching out for coupons/sales/group buys and using my VP2 until I eventually cave in.

Exactly, eventually we all cave in…

I’m already weak….$$…………lol

I won’t for $90 I can get a very nice hobby charger with all the extra’s I would need…

Luke, someday you too will join the dark side and spend too much on this charger…

It sounds expensive and compare to a MC3000 it probably is, but the user interface is very different. The VP4 can be used by everyone, but the MC3000 requires some knowledge to use.
I prefer the MC3000, but that does not make it the correct choice for everybody and the VP4 looks fairly competent (Until now I have done about 30 batteries on it, but I have not looked on the results yet).

Shouldn’tthat be the light side :stuck_out_tongue: with all those battery bays. I think I’ll stay at the dark side of the moon (for now)
