Which charger?

[Myah_June2014]

Hate my charger now! Should I Go with the Luc v2 or the xtar vp2? I like the "recovery" function in xtar, does it really work? Also, RTD vapor & Illumn is OOS on batteries I need. What's a couple other reputable places. I'm looking for Samsung or LG. Ty

Xtar all the way. If you aren't planning on using 26650 batteries you can go with the VP1 instead of the VP2. The VP2 also has a couple other esoteric features - like the option to use it as a USB power source with a charged battery in place, and the ability to charge Li-Po4 batteries. For most people neither of those features is all that useful. The recovery feature is on all Xtar chargers and does work, except one multi-charger in the line that can also charge NiMh batteries as well. (Any charger that can do both Li-On and NiMh batteries cannot recover under-voltage Li-On batteries.)

If you get an Xtar from a dealer it has a full two year warranty. Right now they are running on sale at Xtardirect.com $29.90 for a VP2 and 24.90 for a VP1.

Xtardirect doesn't have a lot on batteries tough. They do have in stock the new Xtar 18650's which is a wrapped VCT4. If that doesn't do it for ya I have to send you to RTD Vapor for batteries. They are also an authorized Xtar dealer, but I don't know if they have that discounted charger pricing available.
