1.5V lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly popular, but some users want to know more about the battery they are using and test its capacity to ensure that it performs as expected. Unfortunately, conventional battery chargers often do not offer this feature, so to address this need, XTAR has launched its latest charger, the VX4 Visible Mixer.

Compatible with 1.5V & 3.6/3.7V Li-Ion; 3.2V LiFePO4 & 1.2V Ni-MH batteries

The VX4 is extremely versatile and supports a wide range of battery types and sizes. From AAA/AA/A/SC 1.2V Ni-MH batteries as well as AA/AAA 1.5V or 3.6V - 3.7V (10430 - 21700) Li-Ion batteries to 3.2V LiFePO4 (IFR) batteries. In addition to the standard charging modes, the VX4 also offers a LiFePO4 mode for charging 3.2 V LiFePO4 batteries. This flexible charging function is tailored to the different needs of users.

The XTAR VX4 Vesible Mixer is equipped with the latest technology.

The first capacity tester for rechargeable 1.5V Li-Ion batteries. The unique CVSA technology for Ni-MH batteries and the 3-stage charging method for Li-ion batteries ensure greater accuracy in detecting fully charged batteries. The VX4 automatically adjusts the optimum charging current to various factors such as battery quantity and internal resistance. For users who want more control, a manual current selection function has been added. This offers more options and improves the overall result.
To fully utilise the VX4, a powerful power supply is required. The following products are suitable: 400610, 400627 ( a PD power supply 400610 is already included with SET)
