Hi all,
I have the XTAR VC8, what is the difference between that and the XTAR VC8 PLUS?

About 10 to 15 bucks and 2 USB ports.

Wow, so the difference is that the PLUS has a USC charging port. Thank you! I’m impressed with your researching skills!
P.S. I will be deleting this post if I am able to, you answered my question re: the differences and I got my unit to work again. Thanks so much!

Hit the three dots on the bottom of the post. Look for the garbage can.

Think only fiddy can do that. Not worth the time for either of you.

I just got a reply from imrbatteries from ebay. They said “The VC8 plus charges cells at a higher amperage rate.”
So now I know it is that plus the addition of the USC port.

Still 4 to 5 hr charge of 21700 and 18650 between 2 to 3 hrs. It’s marketing jargon to sell the up grade. Your paying for the 2 USB ports.
Like the you got more. Fast charging isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

Yep, that was the whole point of an 8 bay charger, to eliminate the waiting times. Now that I fixed the problem, and with a Nitecore 4 bay charger as a back up, I am good for awhile.

I have the 8 bay in my office. It isn’t fancy but gets the job done. 4 bay Miboxer on the table next to me where I spend most of my time.
