Charger for cylindrical batteries Li-ion 18650 Xtar MC3

In a small enclosure, a fully professional processor loader with a three-stage charging process TC/CC/CVis concealed. It charges 1-2 Li-ion 3.6/3.7 V cells with any capacity in sizes 14500, 14650, 16340, 17500, 17670, 18350, 18500, 18650, 18700. It is also possible to charge one battery size of 20700, 21700, 22650, 25500 or 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: Unloaded cells below 2, 85V are ' awakened ' lower current.
• CC phase: When 2, 85V is reached, the cell is loaded with a constant current of 1x 2A/2x 1.5 A/3x 1A (depending on the number of cells being charged).
• 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, 1V 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 MC3 Charger has the function of reactivating deeply 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 MC3, which in many cases allows you to ' resave ' such cells. Just insert a deeply discharged battery into the MC3 charger, as with normal charging, 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 a MC3 loader, Xtar went one step further from the competition, solving this problem easily: the power supply from an external power supply was applied. This ensures that the charging temperature of the MC3 battery will increase by up to 15 degrees.

Supplied with Xtar MC3 charger, we get a micro USB cable. The power supply is not Included In the set. Any charger with a micro USB cable, for example, is enough to power the charger. Phone, or USB port or a computer with a free USB socket. The recommended charger power is 3A (3000mA).
