Difference in battery voltages in multi bay chargers

[Ryedan]

I've had an xtar WP2 II, 2 bay charger for a bit over two years now and it has always charged both batteries to the same voltage between 4.19 - 4.20. Got a xtar WP2s this week and I'm consistently getting 4.17V from the right bay and 4.19V from the left.

I would be happy with the final voltage being a bit under 4.20V, but the difference between channels bothers me.

It would be great to hear from a few people how much voltage difference their multi bay chargers have. Any chargers, any number of bays, I'm just trying to get a handle on what this type of charger typically does

According to Xtar website technical data; http://www.xtarlight.com/05-chanpin/p-001-1.asp?styleid=145

Cut-Off Voltage: 4.2±0.05V
Notice: The above-mentioned parameters tested in Lab are approximate and may vary between flashlight/charger, batteries and environments.


So what you seeing is normal. You could always send it back for repairs, but they might tell you what i just posted above.

The far right bank on my Efest LUC V4 likes to charge to 4.18v while the far left routinely stops at 4.21v, I chalk it up to normal operating tolerances.

Thanks Froth. I thought I had maybe got lucky with my first charger.

It would be nice to get a couple more voltage checks form people, so if anyone else can help out I would really appreciate it
