Each of the four channels works independently, so you can charge multiple AA/AAA cells at once. The processor detects the type of inserted battery and selects the appropriate mode for 1.5V Li-ion or Ni-MH.
For Li-ion it uses three-phase control TC/CC/CV (including a lower-current phase to “wake” the cell), and for Ni-MH the CVSA method. Charging is optimized and safe for the given cell chemistry.
Power the charger from any USB adapter (recommended 2 A). The open design helps cooling and makes it easy to remove cells. Protections include short-circuit, overheat, overcharge, overcurrent and reverse polarity protection, as well as primary battery detection.
The XTAR L4 charger is designed for convenient and safe charging of multiple cells at once. Thanks to the built-in processor, each slot can independently detect the inserted battery type, so you can simultaneously charge different 1.5V Li-ion or Ni-MH cells (AA/AAA). The open design improves heat dissipation and makes removing batteries easier.
Main advantages and features:
Safety protections include protection against short circuit, overheating, overcharging, overcurrent, and insertion with reverse polarity. Note: cells discharged below a certain limit may be permanently damaged and their reactivation may not be possible. Price is for 1 piece of the charger.
