HI,

Can this charger be used to charge CR 123 size rechargeable batteries 3v?

Thanks

Sounds like one of these might go well with my soshine 1 cell charger, which I love cause of the display

 

[gopajti]

The USB output will be 1A (max.) not 2.1A as WP2s, and only one bay can charge mobile device

Wow! I have been waiting for this! Thanks for sharing!

official specs

...

[Max output Current | 2.1A (two same type, fully charged 18650/18700 battery are recommended to be used)]

...

They don't explicitly say that the USB output will draw from both cells, but this sure seems to indicate that that is the case. That's a nice change since the WP2 II only pulled from one cell IIRC.

You could check the review, I usual checks these kind of things.

Thank you, I hadn't seen that yet!

USB output

The WP2s can power the usb output with one or two batteries. The cells are not directly in parallel (I had to use 5 DMM's to log it).
•Will discharge battery with about 4mA when not connected to power.
•USB output is coded as Apple 2.1A
•USB output will stay on when load is removed, on/off is only controlled with the button.
•USB output will always be off when charge power is connected.

...

Great info, thanks.

I can't get the XP4 document on work computer. Can I charge all 4 NiMH or Li-Ion 18650s at 1000mA, or does it split the current?

edit: looking at the specifications in one of the photos, this seems to be correct...but can someone confirm anyway? Thanks

No kiddnig! If the Intellicharger can be had for $20, I expected this to be about $40 max for the selectable/higher charge current. Hopefully that's just an early, inflated Ebay price.

XTAR reply

The ebay seller may make a mistake on the price. The real retail price will be much less than 80usd. But i don't think he has the XP4 in stock at the moment, because the quantity of the first batch of XP4 is limited and only a few foreign dealers got small quantity of XP4. They will receive the first XP4 at the end of this week or next week.

 

[sbbsga]

That is a relief! Thanks for the update, gopajti!

This looks more reasonable than the ridiculously inflated eBay price quoted above

My local dealer will have it in 1-2 weeks time. :twothumbs

It says Car Adapter (optional) but shows it in the actual packaging. I doubt they created different packaging for each option, so what do you get when purchasing?
