XTAR MX8 8-Bay Universal Battery Charger for Li-ion/Ni-MH with USB-C, 0V Activation, LED Indicators

Charge up to eight batteries simultaneously with the XTAR MX8, an 8-bay universal charger that handles both Li-ion and Ni-MH/Ni-CD chemistries. Its independent channels let you mix sizes from AAAA to 26650, while four selectable current levels (0.25A to 2A) adapt to each cell's needs. The 0V activation function revives over-discharged batteries, and LED indicators show charging status at a glance.

Advantages

The MX8's eight independent charging channels eliminate waiting for a free slot—charge different battery types and sizes at the same time without interference. Li-ion cells use a TC/CC/CV protocol for precise voltage and current control, while Ni-MH/Ni-CD batteries benefit from pulse charging to reduce heat and extend cycle life. The 0V activation function rescues deeply discharged batteries that other chargers reject. Built-in protections against over-charge, over-discharge, short-circuit, reverse polarity, and over-heating ensure safe unattended operation. The flame-retardant ABS housing adds durability, and the included AC adapter provides stable 12V power.
