Pros & Cons
Pros
It charges fairly fast and you can vary the charging current. It works flawlessly for me. Great to be able to test batteries, to see their charge capacity and max voltage.
Cons
The range setting is also quite unreliable with nimh batteries. Often run across batteries that are run through the grading process but do not show being charged up to full voltage. Hence not overly reliable.
The display confuses me. Also found it in some weird fault mode one time. Doesn't work, keeps faulting and shutting off.
This is impossible, my batteries are good. Returned it within a week. Will be returning.
Highlights

Competitiveness
Bought this xtar to charge my 18650 aaaaa batteries
Charging some 18650s and everything looked good no issues cycles through some different functions and all were good
Its definitely possible these were bad cells they did read as a higher resistance than they shouldve been
