I looked at a few others and when I had asked questions about the ability to charge protected 21700 Li-ion batteries, all the ones I had enquired about would not charge these batteries. After another look I spotted the XTAR X2 charger, and thankfully it would charge these particular batteries. It also charges up the NI-MH AA and AAA batteries I have. I will add that this charger will charge AAAA, A, C, SC type batteries also. I really like the fact that this charger comes with a good old fashioned mains cable, that has a 3 pin UK plug on one end and the other end has a figure 8 connector. I prefer this much more than the mains adaptor plugs, which quite often are hard to source a replacement or expensive to source a replacement. If a new mains/figure 8 cable needs to be purchased, these can be sourced very easily on desertcart for a few pounds. The supplied 3 pin lead has a piece a velcro on it, so that you can use it to keep the cable bundled up when not in use (really nice touch). The charger has a very snazzy blue screen on the top, which shows the battery type on charge (Li-ion, NI-MH, NI-CD), charging voltage, battery level, and at what amp the battery is charging at as well as other battery info. I will point out that when the battery is fully charged, the display keeps flashing the word "FULL" at the bottom of the display. I cannot say exactly how long it takes to charge up a certain type of battery, as I tend to put the batteries on charge when I go to bed, and also, different types of battery, may take longer than others. But this charger mentions in it's description: "As fast charger. Auto-selected current, It will intelligently select the charging current among 0.5A*2, 1A*2 and 2A*1, and fully charge a 18650 2500mAh battery in 1.5 hours with 2A current" The metal sprung sliders (which you open to insert the battery) seem of a really good quality. I find in use, that the charger and the batteries hardly get warm which is a good thing. I will point out that all I got with the charger was a UK 3 pin/figure 8 cable, instruction manual and nothing else. If you want to power the charger and charge via the USB port that this charger also has on it, you will need to purchase a suitable USB cable. I'm not sure if its possible to power this charger from a computer's USB port, but I can imagine that a computer might struggle to charge a high capacity battery (21700 Li-ion battery for example) and I would always recommend powering the charger from the mains electric. If you are going to be charging Li-ion batteries, I would advise however spending the extra £9-£10 on this X2 version over the VC2 version that is also on desertcart, as the VC2 version WILL NOT charge protected Li-ion batteries, and as a lot of Li-ion batteries are protected, having the ability to charge protected batteries is a fundamental feature. All in all, an excellent charger that I can highly recommend for a really good price. It seems to charge up practically all the popular sized batteries that are in use now, along with the specialist Li-ion batteries that are used in high power torches, vapes etc. Review: Great charging with auto detection. - Bought this charger to service some 18650 flat top batteries. Worked perfectly. Auto-detected the batteries, and charged them from empty to capacity in a couple of hours. Little dials show you the progress of the charge percentage for each battery. Once fully charged to 100%, the charger detects that the battery charge is complete, and flashes a 'full' message under the dial, simply keeping the batteries topped up until they are removed from the charger. The display screen is quite bright, but dims itself after a few minutes, or the backlight can be switched off completely by pressing and holding the button on the display for 1.5 seconds. Great charger, well put together, feels nice and safe, would recommend. ## Features - 1. The X2 extended version can charge 3.6V/3.7V 14500-26650 Li-ion batteries, 1.2V Ni-MH and Ni-CD batteries. Including charging protected 20700 and 21700 batteries.( Package not including any batteries) - 2. As fast charger. Auto-selected current, It will intelligently select the charging current among 0.5A*2, 1A*2 and 2A*1, and fully charge a 18650 2500mAh battery in 1.5 hours with 2A current. - 3. Innovative dial-LCD screen displays charging current, battery voltage, charging capacity. With AC input port and Micro USB input port. You can choose a suitable one in different scenarios: powered by the power cord and AC input port indoors, or mobile phone adapter and Micro USB port for outdoors charging. - 4. 0V Activation function can rescue your over-discharged batteries. Normally you need to throw away those over-discharged batteries, but with XTAR charger you can rescue them and reuse them. - 5.Package list: XTAR X2 Charger, UK Power cord （IF YOU receive an EU Power cord, please let us know at once ,we will ship a new UK Power cord to you now) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B087RC9C9P | | Amperage | 2 Amps | | Battery Charge Time | 1.5 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,313 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 42 in Household Battery Chargers | | Brand | XTAR | | Brand Name | XTAR | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Devices using 14500-26650 Li-ion batteries, 1.2V Ni-MH and Ni-CD batteries, and protected 20700 and 21700 batteries | | Connector Types | Micro USB, USB | | Country of Origin | China | | Current Rating | 2 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 400 Reviews | | Input Voltage | 5 Volts | | Input voltage | 5 Volts | | Item Weight | 0.33 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.33 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | XTAR | | Manufacturer Part Number | AC-705 | | Model Number | X2 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Output Voltage | 3.6 Volts | | Output voltage | 3.6 Volts | | Specification Met | CE | | Specification met | CE | | UPC | 687551690760 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** XTAR - **Colour:** Black - **Item weight:** 0.33 Kilograms - **Output voltage:** 3.6 Volts - **Specification met:** CE ## Images ![Protected 21700 Battery Charger XTAR New X2 Charger 2-Bay 18650 Charger with AC and USB input LCD Screen for 3.6V/3.7V 14500-26650 Li-ion Batteries 1.2V Ni-MH and Ni-CD Rechargeable Battery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Z4iqTjJxL.jpg) ![Protected 21700 Battery Charger XTAR New X2 Charger 2-Bay 18650 Charger with AC and USB input LCD Screen for 3.6V/3.7V 14500-26650 Li-ion Batteries 1.2V Ni-MH and Ni-CD Rechargeable Battery - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xhJLbwoML.jpg) ![Protected 21700 Battery Charger XTAR New X2 Charger 2-Bay 18650 Charger with AC and USB input LCD Screen for 3.6V/3.7V 14500-26650 Li-ion Batteries 1.2V Ni-MH and Ni-CD Rechargeable Battery - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BBmhaityL.jpg) ![Protected 21700 Battery Charger XTAR New X2 Charger 2-Bay 18650 Charger with AC and USB input LCD Screen for 3.6V/3.7V 14500-26650 Li-ion Batteries 1.2V Ni-MH and Ni-CD Rechargeable Battery - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61neMvaObQL.jpg) ![Protected 21700 Battery Charger XTAR New X2 Charger 2-Bay 18650 Charger with AC and USB input LCD Screen for 3.6V/3.7V 14500-26650 Li-ion Batteries 1.2V Ni-MH and Ni-CD Rechargeable Battery - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zQaRV77eL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can it charge unprotected 21700 batterys** A: Yep! I charge from AAA up to my 21700. Not a bad little charger for me. But I'm sure there's some spec fuelled 'persons' whom may differ! **Q: Will this charger charge 21700 battery for olight perun 2 torch** A: Yes, it can charge all protected and unprotected 21700 batteries. **Q: Does it give any indication of battery resistance or health?** A: No it doesn't **Q: Can this charge a li-ion 3000mah phone battery via the micro usb to the phone. or is that not at all what that port is for?** A: Sorry but I only use this device to charge my torch 18650 batteries and get a good idea of the charge left in the partially used ones. This device also charges my 18650 batteries off my large capacity 22,000 Mah storage batteries when I am out on a long bike ride which is very handy. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent charger, and at an excellent price too. *by F***Y on 22 June 2022* I bought this to charger primarily to charge a couple of protected 21700 Li-ion batteries.

I've been using it for probably 2 hours every day, charging 21700, 18650, 18350, AA and AAA. It seems fast (I don't have much basis for comparison!), good display, nice compact design fits nicely on my desk, seems well made. The only flaw I've found I discovered this morning. I put two AAAs in it and it did nothing - is the charger or the batteries at fault I wonder? After fiddling round with it I find if you push the AAA battery right into the slot as I would with any other batteries they are not detected, you have to lift them up ever so slightly (they're held in place by the spring) they then charge. ## Frequently Bought Together - Protected 21700 Battery Charger XTAR New X2 Charger 2-Bay 18650 Charger with AC and USB input LCD Screen for 3.6V/3.7V 14500-26650 Li-ion Batteries 1.2V Ni-MH and Ni-CD Rechargeable Battery - Royal Vapery Battery 3500mAh Rechargeable Batteries Flat Top 35A 3.7 Volts – Pack of 2, High-Capacity, Rechargeable Battery Long-Lasting Power Battery --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/216648753-protected-21700-battery-charger-xtar-new-x2-charger-2-bay](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/216648753-protected-21700-battery-charger-xtar-new-x2-charger-2-bay) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
