【Update】Battery Activation Function on XTAR MX8 Charger

You may have used xtar chargers to revive some batteries successfully. Then, how this activation function works across different battery types? Let’s take the new xtar MX8 charger for example.

For 3.6V / 3.7V Li-ion batteries:

  • When a over-discharged 18650 battery was put into the MX8 , the charger applies a gentle 150mA activation current. If the voltage doesn’t reach 2.5V within 10 minutes, the activation fails. You can retry up to 3 times. If it still fails, the cell is most likely damaged, and no longer works.

  • During activation, the Ni-MH icon blinks slowly. Once the voltage exceeds 2.5V, the charger automatically switches to the three-stage charging process for the battery.

  • If a protected battery is in protection mode (but the inner cell is not over-discharged), it may initially be detected as a 1.5V Li-ion battery. After about 4 minutes, the charger self-corrects and begins normal 3.6V / 3.7V Li-ion charging.

For rechargeable 1.5V AA/AAA Li-ion batteries:

  • When the internal cell is over-discharged, the charger may repeatedly detect the battery as being inserted and removed.. This is part of the automatic recovery process — it gently recharges the internal cell until its voltage stabilizes. Once the internal voltage returns to a normal level and the 1.5V output circuit becomes active again, the charger will automatically recognize it as a 1.5V lithium battery and switch to the proper charging program.

For 1.2V Ni-MH Batteries:

  • The charger applies a small 150mA activation current for the discharged Ni-MH batteries. If the voltage doesn’t reach 0.8V within 10 minutes, the activation fails (you can retry up to 3 times). Once it rises above 0.8V, the charger switches to pulse charging mode for safe recovery.
