The new version of the MC1 Plus Xtar introduced a very simple yet very functional LED display that informs about the progress of battery charging and charging current.

In a small enclosure, a fully professional processor loader with a three-stage charging process TC/CC/CVis concealed. It loads 3.6/3.7 v Li-ion cells with any capacity in sizes 10440, 14500, 14650, 16340, 17500, 17670, 18350, 18500, 18650, 18700, 20700, 21700, 22650, 25500, 26650.

What Is THE TC/CC/CV charging method? It is a three-step process of loading Li-ion cells to keep the cell in good condition by charging the right current at each stage and completing the charging process at the right moment.
The various stages of the TC/CC/CV process are:
• TC phase: Cells discharged below 2, 9V are ' awake ' to lower currents.
• CC phase: When 2, 9V is reached, the cell is loaded with a constant current of 0, 5A (rechargeable batteries up to 54mm) or 1A (rechargeable batteries above 54mm).
• CV phase: When the cell is already nearly charged, the charger switches to a decreasing current charge until it reaches a voltage of 4, 2V on the cell. After reaching 4, 2V the charging process is complete-the battery is fully charged.

Batteries with a voltage of 4, 0V or higher are treated by the charger as charged. To recharge such a full battery, please insert it into the charger before powering it in. When left in the charger, the charged batteries will be subjected to a natural self-discharge process. Charging will resume when the battery voltage drops below 4, 1V.

The Xtar ANT MC1 Plus has a reactivation function for deep-discharged cells and cells with a Voltage Of 0v. Many chargers on the market are not able to charge such batteries. Here with the help comes the charger Xtar ANT-MC1 Plus, which in many cases allows you to ' resave ' such cells. Simply insert a deeply discharged battery into the ANT-MC1 Plus charger, as if charging is normal, the charger detects the unloaded link and attempts to reactivate it. Attention! Cells unloaded below a certain level are irreversible and reactivated may not be possible. Avoid too deep discharge of Li-ion batteries-this can lead to a significant reduction in their durability and capacity or to their total malfunction.

Chargers from other manufacturers can significantly increase the temperature of the cells being charged during charging. Excessive heating of the cells can cause them to wear more quickly. When designing the ANT-MC1 Plus charger, Xtar went one step further from the competition, solving this problem easily: the power supply from an external power supply was applied. This allows the temperature charged in MC1 Plus to increase by up to 15 degrees.
