HOW TO RESTORE A BATTERY BATTERY - Recover AA AA batteries and AAA little finger li-ion batteries

No dancing with tambourines! A charger that fits in your pocket gives a second life to AA, AAA batteries. These universal chargers are ideal for home use. It is also convenient to take them on the road. Simply plug into any USB port using a micro-USB cable.

Features of chargers

  • have wide slot bays;
  • springy contacts that "adjust" to any length;
  • automatically recognize the type of "finger" batteries;
  • charged with special algorithms. They revive a "dead" battery (the main thing is that it is not damaged).

Caution! Sometimes incidents happen when charging.

- Charging without a voltage stabilizer can "burn" the batteries.

- Many systems do not show the remaining time to full charge.

Xtar heard you. She made charging stations "for the people" - devices with a smart display and multi-level battery protection - vc2, vc4 and vp4. They display:

  • battery wear rate;
  • the current container, which was "added" into it;
  • the strength of the charging current on each channel;
  • voltage;
  • remaining charge time;
  • indicators of the real capacity of each.

Charging stations will not see batteries inserted in the wrong poles. The display will notify about this, if anything.

Charging ends when the red LED turns green.

How to recover AA, AAA batteries using Xtar vc2

Xtar vc2 charges lithium-ion batteries of various sizes.

  1. Automatically detects their need for charging.
  2. Designed for two channels with a current output of 0.5 A.
  3. After restoring the batteries, the device turns off the power supply. Without overcharging the battery.

Xtar vc4: what this system is capable of

Xtar vc4 perfectly charges all "popular" types of batteries from outlets and USB, including the ability to revive the 18650 battery:

  • lithium-ion (Li-ion);
  • Nickel Metal Hybrid (NiMH);
  • nickel cadmium (NiCd).

Powerless over rare lithium-polymer batteries.

The station's four channels can simultaneously charge:

  • 4 batteries 0.5 A or
  • 2 batteries in the outer slots of 1 A each (leave the central channels empty).

Voltage-sensitive nickel-metal-hybrid batteries are best not charged at high amperage. To avoid overheating, put at least one in the center slot. The current will equalize, all batteries in the slots will be charged at 0.5 A.

Xtar vp4: why the best of the best?

Xtar vp4 - premium charger. Expensive but smart. She herself chooses the required charging rate, depending on the degree of battery depletion.

  • charges only Li-ion;
  • will return "from the other world" even completely discharged ones that you have long wanted to throw away.

The system has five displays: four show the state of charge of each battery, and the fifth records the strength of the charging current.

You can adjust the supply of current: 0.25 A, 0.5 A and 1 A. Like the vc4, the outer slots work up to one ampere. The charging current is automatically turned off when the batteries "reach" the optimum charge of 4.2 watts. The charging is protected against short circuits.

The body of the device is made of fireproof plastic. Excellent heat dissipation, does not heat up.

Covers are included with the stations. It is convenient to carry charging in them without worrying about damage.

Do not be upset if the battery runs out. Watch the video review of the Xtar vp4 charger
