I used my V2.0 with a USB Trigger Cable but only tried 4x1A for NiMH which works without problems with different Power adapters.
I think if the Trigger-Cable/Board and the power adapter can deliver the needed current it should work

The 65W adapter, USB-C to C cable, and converter are feasible options, but there are few sales. Very small customers have such requirements
@vapcell_Dennis Any news on the new chargers youāve been teasing? Specifically, any chance they are usb-c?
Looks nice, but 5000mA charge current?
Did it have similar features like the S4+?
Interesting, is there a similar 4-slot-charger planned?
I realize this may be an artist rendering but current is misspelled. One may want to correct this before shipping.
This is the first draft. I didnāt pay attention and casually asked the artist for a photo. Iām sorry, but will correct it later
The final product shall prevail
Damn, two slots, usb-c, 5A charging would be the dream. Almost like you designed this just to fit my use case! I want to charge 2x21700 in 1h, not sure why people are scared of 1C charging rate. I need this to charge diving flashlights between dives.
@vapcell_Dennis Iād be very happy to test these for you whenever the first versions are available
This looks great! Compact, long enough for 26800, high current, USB-C, manual current mode, IR measurement. Everything we could dream of.
Please contact me if youāre looking for reviewers.
I agree. It looks like something I could be interested in. It would be nice to have at least 3 amp (or more) per slot charging (with the correct supply) for those big cells ⦠as in 26800 cells.
Appears to be available now:
Nice specs, unfortunately no USB-C. ![]()
But the AE page for purchase is dead 404 error.
Very disappointing without Discharge/Test ![]()
I thought Vapcell have understand what the customer want
The chargers with similar/more features like S4+ still not to see
I had expected more from Vapcell
Only charging, that“s OK for a cheap charger but I don“t know if it“s cheap. 5A is also not usable for me.
I“m not a fan of USB-powered chargers because of my bad experience especially with the Xtar VC4SL and also the ISDT C4 EVO but I know it“s possible to make a stable charger with USB-Power.
And for a 2-slot-charger it makes sense to use USB instead of a impractical big external supply. It“s OK for the S4+ because it would be normally not used on travel but for the SU2?
Still waiting for the long time ago announced chargers from Vapcell ā¦
Hi Dennis,
there is a discussion going on at the moment in the German Flashlight Forum TLF, whether the new Vapcell USB-C Adapter for the S4 plus is able to use 20V input, for example from the new Vapcell P65 USB PD power supply, that can deliver 20V / 3.25A = 65W, which would be similar to the 60W of the original power supply of the S4 plus ā¦
That would require the ability of the USB-C to 12V barrel connector to convert the 20V into the 12V, that are needed by the S4 plus ā¦
Or otherwise, can the USB-C to 12V DC connector just deliver that voltage to the S4 plus, that it gets from the USB PD power supply ?
That would mean, it would have to negotiate with the P65 the delivery of 12V ā¦
According to the specs of the P65, that would result in 12V / 3A, which means 36W, which would allow about half of the charge current of the original DC 12V / 5A power supply, 4 x 1.5A instead of 4 x 3A ā¦
So, can the new Vapcell USB-C adapter really utilize 20V from the USB PD power supply (so it would reach the original power), or can it just use 12V from the PD unit, resulting in about half of the original power in case of the P65, which can deliver 12V with max. 3A ?
Thank You !
When will this new SU2 be available for purchase?
Itās a shame that it doesnāt come with USB-C out of the box, though at least a usb-c to 12V cable rated for 2.5A is actually easy to find, whereas one for 5A to support the S4 plus is impossible without using the trigger board mentioned in this thread
I donāt quite understand what you mean,My English is not very good, Iām really sorry
We will develop a USB-C 36-80W power charger ![]()
12v 5a is technically within spec for usb-PD. The spec is kind of weird but basically youāre allowed a couple of preset voltages and current up to 3 amps (generally 5v, 12v, 20v most common). However thereās also the capability for 5 amps. But they prefer you donāt use 5 amps unless itās needed for high power so like 20v 5a for 100w laptops. But they donāt want you to use 5v 5a for example.
The thing is, the amps are what causes the wires to heat up which is the limiting factor. If a cable can handle 20v 5a. It can handle 12v 5a.
Iām not completely sure how to achieve what youāre looking for, but I bet aliexpress has a 12v 5a USB-C to barrel negotiating chip.
the question was, is the Vapcell USB-C adaptor for the S4 plus able to convert voltage, so that it can use a 20V input from a PD power supply to provide the S4 plus with the required 12V ?
or is the adaptor not able to convert voltage, so that it has to get exactly 12V from the USB PD power supply to deliver that 12V to the S4 plus ?
the new Vapcell P65 USB PD on this photo is shown as being compatible with the new USB-C adaptor for the S4 plus ā¦
this P65 can deliver 12V with max. 3A, resulting in 36W ⦠that would be sufficient for about half of the original max. charging current of the S4 plus : 4 x 1.5A instead of 4 x 3A ⦠the original 12V DC power supply of the S4 plus delivers max. 60W ā¦
at 20V the P65 USB PD can deliver max. 3.25A resulting in 65W, which would equal the original 12V DC power supply ā¦
but that would require the ability of the adaptor to convert the 20V into the 12V that are needed by the S4 plus ā¦
