Each bay operates independently, applying charge profiles tailored to the cell type inserted. The platform supports 1.5 V lithium AA\/AAA rechargeables, 1.2 V NiMH AA\/AAA, and 3.6\/3.7 V lithium-ion cylindrical cells, making it the first charger in its class capable of handling all three categories within a single system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSB-C input delivers regulated power to the internal distribution system, enabling consistent charging behaviour across all eight bays. Automatic identification assigns the appropriate voltage and termination method to each slot, while LED indicators provide real-time status feedback. The charger accepts a wide range of cylindrical sizes used in consumer electronics and industrial equipment, and does not impose a maximum battery capacity limit—the charger determines completion based on voltage detection rather than rated mAh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight fully independent charging slots for simultaneous multi-chemistry operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports all three major rechargeable types: 1.5 V AA\/AAA lithium, 1.2 V AA\/AAA NiMH, and 3.6\/3.7 V lithium-ion (e.g. 18650 series).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst charger in its category to accommodate all three chemistries in a single unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo maximum battery capacity limitation; charging completion is determined by voltage behaviour, not rated mAh.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic recognition of chemistry and assignment of charge parameters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-C power input with regulated channel distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED indicators providing charge and completion status for every slot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCylindrical Li-ion support including 10440, 14500, 16340, 18500, 18650, and unprotected 21700.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAA\/AAA support for NiMH and 1.5 V lithium rechargeable types.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated short-circuit, over-charge and thermal protection systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-voltage activation for lithium-ion cells that have dropped below normal operating voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Xtar MX8 Smart Charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal bays:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 independent charging channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupported chemistries:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.6\/3.7 V Li-ion, 3.2 V LiFePO?, 1.5 V lithium rechargeable, 1.2 V NiMH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB-C, 5 V supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharging current:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatically allocated based on slot occupancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLi-ion formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10440–20700 and unprotected 21700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNiMH formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA, AAA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.5 V lithium formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA, AAA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity limit:\u003c\/strong\u003e No maximum mAh rating; supported capacity is unrestricted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndicators:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dedicated LEDs for each slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over-charge, short-circuit, thermal and low-voltage recovery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e21700 support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unprotected only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Xtar","offers":[{"title":"None","offer_id":44553839018026,"sku":"XTA-CH-03253","price":20.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Inc USB-C Wall Adaptor + 4 x AA Lithium Batteries","offer_id":44553839050794,"sku":"XTA-CH-03259","price":43.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Inc USB-C Wall Adaptor + 4 x AAA Lithium Batteries","offer_id":44553839083562,"sku":"XTA-CH-03260","price":38.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Inc USB-C Wall Adaptor + 4 x AA \u0026 4 x AAA Lithium Batteries","offer_id":44553839116330,"sku":"XTA-CH-03261","price":56.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Inc 4 x AA Lithium Batteries","offer_id":44553839149098,"sku":"XTA-CH-03262","price":38.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Inc 4 x AAA Lithium Batteries","offer_id":44553839181866,"sku":"XTA-CH-03263","price":33.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Inc 4 x AA \u0026 4 x AAA Lithium Batteries","offer_id":44553839214634,"sku":"XTA-CH-03264","price":51.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/8098\/7434\/files\/MX8_1__65532.1765369640.1280.1280.jpg?v=1778507650","url":"https:\/\/www.batterystation.co.uk\/products\/xtar-mx8-8-slot-1-5v-3-7v-lithium-aa-aaa-nimh-smart-charger","provider":"BatteryStation.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
