Test/Review of Charger Xtar MC1

can it accept a 5v 2Amps travel adapter used for tablet phone or it only accept a 5v 0.5Amps adapter only?

Yes, more amps is not a problem.

can i ask more question?

it is not written in the batteries support list, but can it charge a Samsung INR18650-25R cell?

and what makes a 18650 charger good for charging an IMR batteries?
I see an intellicharger i2 Nitecore’s advertisement is state “Revolutionary Upgrade for IMR Batteries”,
does this MC1 as good as i2 when charging IMR cells?

thankyou

“Revolutionary Upgrade for IMR Batteries”
That just marketing, sales pitch.

Charging IMR is that same as normal Li-ion. Any cc/cv charger will charge Samsung INR18650-25R. This Xtar MC1 will work.


Easily, all IMR, ICR, INR batteries uses the same charge algorithm and most of them also uses the same charge voltage (4.20 volt).

ow ok, I see…

I think MC1 will become more popular on budget tight and has good compact design… :cheers

Was re-reading this MC1 basic charger, and the “Measurements” portion says:

“two parallel charging circuit” = ?

Two charging chips in parallel. This is done to increase charging current.
