Re: Xtar PB2 Charger & power bank
Thank you so much for this exhausting review! This charger was my candidate to buy next but here I learned the way I'd use is not appropriate for this device as charger. I use 18650 flashlights and always carry spare battery. I thought this could serve as occasional charger and occasional powerbank. What I learned is better to use dedicated industrial batteries without protection PCB while I prefer protected batteries for my lights. I was also considerint this device as UPS for my Raspberry, but I learned it cant. Still I like the form factor of the device.
