Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is included in this bundle?
A1: The bundle includes one XTAR MC6C smart charger, one Type-C charging cable, one DC power cable, one user manual, and either 1 or 2 units of the XTAR 18650 2600mAh 4.5A Button Top batteries based on your selected variant.

Q2: Does the XTAR MC6C support protected 20700 and 21700 batteries?
A2: No. The MC6C is physically compatible with 20700 and 21700 sizes, but it specifically DOES NOT support protected 20700 and 21700 batteries due to length restrictions. Please do not use protected versions of these cells with this charger.

Q3: What are the charging currents for the different slots?
A3: The MC6C intelligently allocates current. Slots 1, 2, 5, and 6 can charge at up to 1.0A, while slots 3 and 4 charge at up to 0.5A. When charging Ni-MH batteries, it uses a default 0.5A current.

Q4: What do the LED grid lights indicate?
A4: Slow flashing battery frame indicates activation or identification; steady frame with flowing grid indicates charging in progress; steady frame and 4 steady grids indicate fully charged; fast flashing frame and grid indicates reverse polarity, activation failure, or an abnormal status.

Q5: Can I charge a Li-ion and a Ni-MH battery at the same time?
A5: Yes. The MC6C features completely independent 6-slot circuits, allowing you to safely charge a 3.7V Li-ion battery in one slot and a 1.2V Ni-MH battery in another slot simultaneously.
