Why XTAR Charger

There are so many battery chargers on the market, it may difficult for you to pick up one you like. These are a few reasons why we stand out above the competition:

Intelligent Charging

All XTAR chargers features intelligent detect the battery status, such as battery type, battery capacity, internal resistance, and voltage, etc. and automatically select the optimal charging current for each battery. For lithium-ion batteries, it adopts 3 unique modes: TC (trickle current) wake-up, CC (constant current) fast charge, and CV (constant voltage) full charge. At low voltage, trickle charge gently wake up to protect batteries, while CC mode promise reasonable current of fast charge. CV mode is for safely and totally full charging battery when the cut-off voltage is approached. These prolong the battery life and provide the quickest charging under safety.

Seven Safety Protections

XTAR chargers have seven safety protection functions, i.e. intelligent anti-reverse , over-charge protection, output over-current / short-circuit protection, over-voltage / over-load protection, and over-temperature protection. This guarantees the safety throughout the charging process.
