I have a VC2, it's a decent charger. Use at least a 1 amp usb charger to be able to charge at roughly 500mAh per channel/slot. Mine works ok, I've had it roughly three weeks. The charge termination is a little higher than I prefer, mine terminates between 4.18 - 4.21 volts. Still within manufacturer specs, but I like my chargers to terminate just below 4.2 volts. I have a VP2 as well and it's a little better. I have three Nitecore's (2 - D2's / 1- i2) they all terminate below 4.2 volts, which I much prefer. I will say that I'm very .... when it comes to battery maintenance, I check them before and after each charge, and rotate them religiously. That said HKJ on the Candle Power Forum does a nice review on the VC2, it show a nice charge current, and completely stops charging when batteries are finished. The LCD display is nice, and it feels well made. I bought mine for a travel charger, it should do the job nicely. Enjoy the new charger, you should be happy.
