    Is there not a single LEP module made outside of China?

    18650 and 21700 cases?

    I'm looking for some high quality cases for 18650 and 21700 cells. Ideally cases that hold 4 or 6 cells per case, are waterproof, and high quality manufacture e.g. good for carrying on a backpacking trip, while mountaineering, or very frequent air travel with these cells thrown in a carry-on...

    Suggestions to XTAR in new year 2022

    1. Get rid of 70% of your models, they're all confusing and I can't keep track of what's what. Models with known issues (e.g. USB-C incompatibility) are still listed. Get rid of the noise. 2. Make a high quality charger. I'd pay $70 or more for a charger that doesn't feel like it'll break if...

    Lifepo4 nano technologies

    LFP has achieved a nearly 100% increase in energy density over the last ~decade, largely on the strength of heavy automotive LFP R&D investment in China by companies like CATL and BYD. The net result is that modern LFP chemistries come within ~20% of nickel oxide cells but with greater rate...

    X2/X4 Extended Version, AC & USB Input NiMH Li-ion Battery Charger

    The VC8 is interesting. That might be what I am looking for. I see it uses USB-C; do you know if its USB-C support is fully standardized or are there any limitations as with the VC4L not supporting certain USB-C to USB-C cables?

    Are You Missing Out? Ways We Keep Fenix Fans Up-to-Date

    I feel like subscribing to the YouTube channel is not the way to be "the first to know" when nothing has been posted to it in 3 months, yet you have released several products since then? It seems to me if someone wants to be the first to know, they should visit this forum.

    X2/X4 Extended Version, AC & USB Input NiMH Li-ion Battery Charger

    The VP4 Plus does not support protected 21700 cells correct? I am looking for a charger that supports these cells and has an analyze function.

    Does this by any chance have an analyze function?

    【New Product】XTAR VC4L Charger

    For me, it was about interchangeability. I mean, I have 21700 cells with integrated USB-C ports that charge just fine with every charger and cable I have. I have phones that work just fine. I have cheap portable battery packs that work perfectly. Only the VC4L doesn’t. I do not want to worry...

    Question on lifespan of Li-ion batteries

    Cycle life as a specification is a bit like clock speed being advertised for a laptop on the store shelf. It’s a way to simplistically distill a complicated performance characterization into a simple one dimensional number. The reality is that life is a function of temperature, rate, depth of...

    【New Product】XTAR VC4L Charger

    I have since confirmed with the manufacture that this device does not seem to support 100W USB-C to USB-C cables. It would not work with either my Apple or Anker cables, however I was able to get it to work with some no-name, very thin and poorly shielded cables that I must have gotten with some...

    *2021* New Fenix TK16 V2.0, E-Lite and LR50R

    I have had the TK16 2.0 for a few days now and am generally pleased. The light pattern is extremely bright and even on the turbo mode it presents the sort of intense, not-too-warm white I prefer. This is the brightest flashlight (yet) that I have owned and it gets warm quickly at the front...

    【New Product】XTAR VC4L Charger

    I received the unit already (fast shipping!) and can confirm two things: 1) it fits and charges the single protected 21700 cell I have. This is cool! 2) it does NOT seem to play nice with standard USB-C cables. All of my Apple USB-C cables do not work, regardless of age, length etc. I also...
