XTAR VP1 and 18350 batteries

[wdawg88]

does anybody know if the xtar VP1 will charge 18350 batteries?

There are some sites that say it will, and some that don't..

Thanks in advance!

Yeah it should charge 18350 button tops with no problem, I'm not sure about flat tops though you may need one of these XTAR Battery Charger Spacer and for the price I would pick up 1 or 2 just in case

I have an MP2. It charges two 18350s at a time.

It will. Their web site lists "10440/16340/14500/14650/17670/18500/18650/18700" as compatible sizes but if it will fit 16340's then 18350's will fit. http://www.xtarlight.com/en/05-chanpin/p-001-1.asp?styleid=233

The VP1 doesn't use spacers.

But does it charge flat top batteries? Also is there any similar products out there with a screen that would also dsiplay the mAh of the battery as well? I can't one place that has this charger in stock.

I have a WF-188 and it is a very versatile charger. It can charge any Li-ion or Lipo(via selector switch) sized from 10280-32650 flat top or button top.

You can find them a little cheaper elsewhere but be careful if it does not come in the blue box it may be one of the knockoff ones that have some issues with the guide rail contacts and have shotty wiring causing them not to charge fully to 4.2V. If you go for one I would suggest grabbing the one from Lighthound.

The Xtar VP1 is a super smexy charger! New release! They aren't available everywhere yet. Very expensive for a 2 Bay tho.

When they come down in price a bit more, I'll be in the queue for one, for sure.

The VP1 will happily take FT 18350's with Out spacers. If you choose to buy one, let us know what you think.

If you prefer to wait for a price fall, I'd recommend the Nitecore Intelli i2. This charger does not require battery spacers for 18350's either.

The XTAR SP2 is a better and more versatile choice, it can also handle 26650s and can charge at 2A.

Where can I buy the best charger available? That shows the Mah?

Got the VP1 and yes it will charge flat top and button top batteries (NO spacers needed 18700-18350)... really impressed! Granted I wish it showed the MAH of the battery! Also its only 2 channel but it has been working great! Wish there was a usb input/output.

If anyone as questions let me know...
