FAQs
Can I charge NiMH batteries with the XTAR MC2?
No, the MC2 is specifically engineered for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and will not charge NiMH or NiCd chemistry.
What power adapter should I use?
A standard 5V/1A or 5V/2A USB wall adapter is recommended for optimal charging performance.
Does this charger support 21700 batteries?
Please check your specific battery length, as the MC2 is optimized for standard cylindrical sizes like 18650, 16340, and 14500.
How do I know when the battery is finished charging?
The integrated LED indicators will turn from red to green once the battery has reached a full charge.
Is it safe to leave batteries in the charger overnight?
The charger includes safety protection, but it is best practice to unplug the device and remove batteries once they are fully charged.
Troubleshooting
LED indicator does not light up
Verify that the USB-C cable is fully seated in both the charger and the power source, and confirm the power source is active.
Battery does not charge
Check that the battery is inserted with the correct polarity and ensure the cell is a supported Li-ion type rather than NiMH.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your XTAR MC2, plug the provided USB-C cable into the device and connect the other end to a standard USB power source, such as a 5V/1A or 5V/2A adapter. Ensure the battery is correctly inserted according to the polarity markings in the charging bay. For maintenance, keep the charging contacts clean and free of debris to ensure an efficient electrical connection. Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use and avoid exposing it to extreme heat or moisture, as this can affect both the charger and the lithium batteries being processed.
