XTAR Visible Mixer VX4 is a versatile 4-channel charger compatible with all battery types, offering fast charging and capacity testing. Key features include:



Multi-Channel Compatibility: The VX4 supports 3.6V/3.7V lithium-ion batteries, 1.2V Ni-MH/Ni-CD batteries, 3.2V LiFePO4 (phosphate) batteries, and 1.5V lithium batteries. It provides individual charging for each channel without needing to switch between them.



Type-C Input: With a Type-C input and support for PD 12V input, the charger can deliver up to 3A per channel for lithium-ion batteries. It also accommodates QC 9V and 5V adapters, automatically adjusting the charging current based on input power with dynamic power management.



Intuitive Display: The charger features a blue backlit HTN display panel that shows real-time charging currents for all four channels simultaneously. Users can switch to display real-time capacity via a button.



Smart Current Regulation: The VX4 adjusts charging current intelligently based on the battery type and status, ensuring both fast charging and safety.



Capacity Testing: It includes a Grad capacity testing function, which allows users to determine the true capacity of the batteries after testing. The Grad mode displays real-time current and capacity without exiting the function.



User-Friendly Controls: It has three physical buttons for easy operation: C/V for current adjustment and LiFePO4 mode, Mode for switching display options and Grad function, and mWh/mAh for switching capacity information during capacity testing.



Safety Features: The VX4 is equipped with protection mechanisms such as reverse polarity protection, short circuit protection, and over-voltage protection to prevent damage from misuse or battery defects.



Overall, the XTAR VX4 offers comprehensive functionality with a focus on user convenience and battery safety.
