Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What batteries does the XTAR FC2 support?
A1: The FC2 supports a wide range of 3.6V/3.7V Li-ion batteries (including 10440, 14500, 18650, 20700, 21700, 26650, etc.) and 1.2V Ni-MH/Ni-CD batteries (AAAA, AAA, AA, A, SC, C).
Q2: How do I change the charging current?
A2: Simply slide the physical switch located on the side of the charger to choose between the three current settings: 0.5A, 1.0A, or 2.0A.
Q3: What do the 4 LED lights indicate?
A3: When the lights are flowing or blinking, the battery is charging or being activated. 4 solid lights mean the battery is fully charged. 4 lights flashing simultaneously indicate that the battery is inserted incorrectly (reverse polarity) or a short circuit has occurred, prompting you to remove it immediately.
Q4: Can I charge a Li-ion and a Ni-MH battery at the same time?
A4: Yes. The FC2 features independent dual-slot circuitry, allowing you to charge a 3.7V Li-ion battery in one slot and a 1.2V Ni-MH battery in the other simultaneously.
Q5: Can the FC2 charge 21700 batteries?
A5: Yes, the FC2 physically supports 21700 battery sizes (without protection boards).

Security
The ability to choose charge speed puts me in control. The FC2 is compact, USB-C powered, and handles all my cells.
For the price, the FC2 is hard to beat. Type-C, adjustable current, and multi-chemistry support. My new EDC charger.
The bays are long enough for protected 21700s. The adjustable current lets me balance speed vs. battery longevity.
I set it to 0.5A for my 14500 cells and 2A for my 21700s. The FC2 detects chemistry and voltage correctly.
The FC2 is so small it disappears in my bag. Type-C input means one less cable. I use it for my 21700 flashlight cells.
