XTAR VC2S Charger Question

[Drewps5co0tt]

Hey guys,

I finally updated my charger a few days ago (I think before I had the VP2) or something like that. Quick question on something I'm noticing that seems a bit odd to me.

When I charge (for example 18650's), a battery that's fully charged in channel 1...it flashes FULL/0.00 mA, I remove the battery. A few minutes later, I'll put the battery back in the same bay, and all of a sudden there are a few hundred mA's that show up on the screen that need to be charged back into the battery and it takes a few minutes for channel 1 to recognize the battery is fully charged and flash FULL/0.00mA again (although it does show above that's fully charged at 4.2v).

If I take that same battery and do the same test but this time in channel 2, within a few seconds it recognizes that the battery is fully charged and flashes FULL/0.00mA. So it seems channel 1 is not working as well as channel 2 is, when it comes to recognizing information from the battery.

Is this normal for this charger or do I have a defective charger?

Mine also had the same problem.It takes an hour to charge my dual 18650 battery from half to full...

Well at least I know it's not MY charger then. I like the two bay chargers, I don't need to charge more than two batteries at any given time. Usually, I only have one in the charger (that's the norm for me anyways). Did you ditch this charger and get something else?

Actually I bought a nitecore I4,but I was stranded elsewhere so I temporary bought this charger as it is cheaper.The quality is probably lower then nitecore but at least it’s working
