Ok - I understand now. Thanks Chris, for the enlightenment.
Oh boy. There is confusion with this charger for the lay person that is not familiar with Li-Ion batteries.

Look at this table:
Hi HKJ,
Can we infer you designed this instructive table purposedly to illustrate a forthcoming VP2 charger test/review,
to be posted imminently ?...
(The "Switch" column looks like a definite telltale to me...)

Assuming a LiFePo4 chemistry for SF LFP123A cells, the VP2 can indeed charge them safely using switch setting "3.2v"Can the VP2 charge Surefire LFP 123A lithium-phosphate cells?

I just picked up my VP2 earlier this afternoon
If you don't already own an Xtar VP1, you'll be happy with it and you've bought a charger that will handle a lot of cells, going forward.

That will be some time, Xtar has not shipped one to me yet.
It looks like the first batch goes to dealers. Review copies are first send out from the second batch or maybe later.
Who did you buy it from?
It is a little late now, but I always plug in my VP1 charger and wait for it to "boot up," set the charging to 1A for my 18650's, then I install the batteries to charge. Just my process that I go through.
Hopefully they will make it right for you. :thumbsup:
