Does the Xtar VC4 have a battery refresh function?

HighlanderNorth · Sep 20, 2018

I don't have access to my VC4 manual right now, and I've done Google and YouTube searches for a battery refresh tutorial with the VC4, but found nothing. It seems odd that it would have so many useful functions, like showing voltage, current and ending charge capacity, but no refresh. So I thought people here would own a VC4 and know how to refresh batteries with it l(if possible)?

No and since it doesn't have a discharge function, we can't easily cycle NiMH a few times, to break them in.

This is a very basic charger and does not have this function.

PS: Google "Xtar VC4 manual" to find the manual.

No, only the VP4 Dragon Plus has refresh function.

In other words, all it would've taken to get a charger that does have a refresh function, was 1 letter to have been typed differently? (vP-4 vs. vC-4)

And have paid twice as much

"Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full."

The VP-4 four slot charger is not the same beast as the VP-4 Dragon.

The former, much like the famed VP-2 and VC-4/2, doesn't do a discharge, either.
