• The charging socket is suitable for 26800 size protected cells
• Fast charging with maximum current of 3A with Quick Charge and Power Delivery, power of 15W
• Power bank function
• 0V reactivation function for deeply discharged cells
• Delicate LED display, showing charging status or battery discharge level as power bank
• Three-stage TC / CC / CV charging maximizes battery life
• Charge anytime, anywhere using USB-C port
• Protections: short circuit, thermal, reverse polarity and overcharging
• Adjustable rubber strap allows you to fix the cell
• Automatically stops charging, when fully charged
• Made of ABS material, excellent heat dissipation
• Warranty: 24 months

• TC stage: the initial phase of checking and reactivating a cell whose voltage has dropped below 2.9V
• CC stage: then the cell is charged with a constant current of 50mA to 500mA (depending on the connected power source).
• CV stage: then the charger switches to charging with decreasing current until the cell voltage reaches 4.2V. When the cell voltage reaches 4.2V, charging is complete and the battery is fully charged

Included with the XTAR SC1 Plus charger, you get a USB cable. For the set you need a power adapter, such as for your phone, or a computer with a free USB port.

An interesting and safe solution in the SC1 Plus charger is a separately pluggable power supply. This prevents unnecessary heating of the charged cell. When the set is running, the power supply itself heats up and not the charged cell. As a result, the temperature during charging, can increase on the cell no more than 15ºC. This directly affects the life of the battery.

Reactivation of discharged cells involves inserting the cell into the charger and checking the voltage. With this function, we can check each cell of the corresponding size. When a discharged cell is detected, the charger will attempt to reactivate it. Note that exceeding the minimum voltage on the cell will limit the possibility of reactivating and saving such a battery.

Caution: cells discharged below a certain level are irreversibly damaged and reactivation may not be possible. Avoid discharging Li-ION batteries too deeply. This may lead to a significant reduction in their life and capacity or lead to their complete failure.
