English review of the four-battery model: https://lygte-info.dk/review/Review%20Charger%20Xtar%20MC4%20UK.html
”The charger do a very fine charge curve both for large and smaller LiIon batteries.
BUT there is one serious caveat: It need a good power supply.”The charger has a good charging process for both large and small li-ion batteries. Please note that the charger requires a good power supply.
We recommend Xtar Six-U smart power supply for six devices, definitely not running out of power in the middle: Xtar Six-U USB charger
What is three-step TC/CC/CV charging?
The automatic charging process keeps the battery cells in good condition for a long time by charging at the appropriate voltage at all stages, and by switching off the charging at the appropriate time. The three charging steps are:
- TC (Trickle Charge) Awakening: Deep-discharged cells at voltages below 2.9 V are brought to life at a lower voltage
- CC (Constant Current) Steady current : Thebattery cell is charged with a constant current when the voltage is above 2.9V.
- CV (Constant Voltage) Constant voltage : When the battery is almost fully charged,the charger starts to reduce the charging current (A) until the battery reaches a voltage of 4.2V Volt (V). When the battery voltage is 4.2V, the battery is full and the charger stops charging.
The charger keeps batteries above 4.1 V fully charged. If you want to fully charge this type of battery, you must insert it into the charger before plugging in the charger. All batteries discharge with time naturally on their own. If the batteries are stored in the charger, charging starts when the battery voltage drops below 4.1 volts.
