Hi all.....does anyone own a xtar vc4 ? If so I hope you can help !i have just purchased the above battery and seem to be having problems with it .How reliable are they ?
Problems are :-
1,I plug in the charger via my USB wall socket and the charger will only charge ports 1 and 2 at just under 0.2 v.
2,I plug the charger into a 3 pin wall socket and it charges at just under 5 volts.
3,I remove one of the batteries (18650) from one port and it will only charge at 7.5 volts.
4,when one of the batteries is charged it only read 499 amh.
5,if I remove the battery and put it back in the amh goes back to nought and starts counting again,this dosen't seem accurate.
6,When I remove one battery from one port the other dial on the other port goes up and down ,the volts go up and down and the red and green lights flash on and off.
To me it seems I have bought a knackered unit ,but I am new to this so some advice would be welcome please.if I need to return this I will ,if so would you recommend buying another one or an alternative.What I want is a charger that will charge all types of batteries and have a digital display.
Sorry about the long post and thanks in advance for your help.
