XTAR L8 8 Channel AA/AAA lithium & NiMh Battery Charger

Key Features

• 8-Slot Universal AA/AAA Charging: Charges eight AA or AAA batteries simultaneously, supporting both 1.5V lithium-ion and 1.2V Ni-MH chemistry with smart battery recognition to prevent mis-charging across all eight independent slots.
• QC3.0 Fast Charging Support: When paired with a QC3.0 18W adapter via USB-C, the L8 delivers 0.5A to all eight slots simultaneously at full speed — halving the time required to charge a complete set of eight batteries compared to standard 5V input.
• Intelligent Charging Strategy: Automatically detects battery type and applies the optimal charging algorithm for each cell, with auto-stop cutoff upon full charge to maximize battery lifespan and prevent overcharging.
• Advanced Over-Discharged Battery Recovery: Capable of reviving over-discharged batteries at higher recovery rates, restoring cells that standard chargers may fail to detect or activate.
• Two-Color LED Charge Indicators & Six Safety Protections: Per-slot red/green LED indicators provide immediate charge status visibility — red during charging, green when complete — backed by comprehensive protection including reverse polarity, over-current, over-voltage, over-charge, short-circuit, and auto-stop after full charge.

Overview

The XTAR L8 is an eight-slot AA/AAA battery charger engineered for high-volume charging of both 1.5V lithium-ion and 1.2V Ni-MH rechargeable batteries in a single compact unit. With USB-C input supporting both DC 5V 2.1A standard charging and QC3.0 9V 2A fast charging, the L8 is capable of delivering 0.5A to all eight slots simultaneously when paired with a compatible QC3.0 18W power adapter — making it an efficient solution for households and professionals managing large numbers of AA and AAA rechargeable batteries. Smart battery recognition automatically identifies each cell and applies an optimal charging strategy to protect battery health and ensure accurate charge termination. The two-color per-slot LED indicators provide instant charge status feedback at a glance, and the ability to revive over-discharged batteries adds practical recovery capability for cells that have fallen below standard activation thresholds. Six integrated safety protections provide comprehensive charge safety coverage. Package includes the L8 charger, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and a user manual.
