Xtar VC8 on Sale Below $30. Better Than VC4SL? Size Comparison And Review After 1,000 Cells Tested

Illumn and Li Ion Whole have the VC8 below $30. 18650 Battery Store has it at $35. The VC4SL is in the same price so which one do you choose?
Is the VC8 outdated? We’ve had the VC8 Plus for over a year now.
How Much Desk Space does an 8 slot charger take up? Maybe you don’t have much room and are leaning VC4SL.
Who has the better display? The VC4SL has a HUGE display it has to be better.
If you’ve never had these chargers in front of you in person you might think this way. I’ll show you how the VC8 got it right the first time and how every other charger screwed up simplicity and function in an attempt to be different or unique.

*****8:06** I said 4 amps with 4 cells....yeah I'm smokin something. It's 1 amp with 4 cells****
VC8 on Sale Both Under $30 Before Tax/Shipping. I have not tried Illumn but I have ordered from Li Ion Wholesale. Both seem to be highly regarded. Where you order from will probably be decided by shipping and if you can get free shipping by spending a certain amount. That’s why I would choose Li Ion, more products I’m interested in.
These prices plus shipping (for me) match Amazon Primr or maybe a dollar less. If all you are ordering is the charger and your sub total is over $40 check Amazon if you have Prime. Typical price on Amazon is $40.99

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for this video (and the Reddit post that brought me here). There are a myriad charger options out there and little in the way of brand/model comparison based on actual experience. Well, at least for chumps like me that are new to 18650/21700 pack building and still piecing together information and resources.
Just ordered a VC8 from XTAR directly-they have a 20% off sale with US based shipping included. Definitely not the $27 you mentioned in the video but not far off! Thanks again sir.

The ZB2L3 accuracy test didn't come back so good. Lookin like they are pretty optimistic. Need to calibrate one of them and then test it against my DL24 in constant resistance mode so we have an apples to apples comparison. Atorch has some pretty accurate stuff so I'm going to do the test under the assumption the DL24 is accurate, especially since I recently calibrated mine (it barely needed adjustment).

Can you provide a link to buy the VC8 charger for $30?

Sorry I forgot to get back to you. Li Ion Wholesale raised their price to $31. I believe Illumn is still at $28.
