There is no voltage or current readout, all slots always has same function and same current.

And it costs at least $80 (depending on store). I wonder which market segment Xtar targets with this. BLFers and electronics geeks would rather buy the MC3000 for the same price, the “average” user with a couple of lights and 3-4 protected cells would not spend so much on a charger. Wonder whether Xtar marketing had a stroke.

Until this charger goes down to around $30-40 probably won’t have mass marketing sales. Its a nice charger no doubt. I like the voltage readouts more then percentage. But considering a liito 500 is $18-$20 and a opus is $30 and can do discharge functions. Its accurate enough to give you a idea about your cells capacity. I figure in a couple years it will come down in price. Until then I’ll stick with opus and liito Kala. I do have a vc2 I use its a nice charger. But no way I’ll ever pay $80+ for a charger. Around $30 is my limit
