Key Features
- 8-Slot Universal AA/AAA Charging: Eight slots, one charger — handles 1.5V li-ion and 1.2V NiMH AA and AAA batteries simultaneously with smart recognition that keeps each cell on the right charging program.
- QC3.0 Fast Charging Support: Pair it with a QC3.0 18W adapter and all eight slots run at full 0.5A — charge an entire set of eight batteries in one go, at full speed, without slowing any slot down.
- Intelligent Charging Strategy: Detects what you put in, applies the right algorithm, and stops automatically when each cell is done — protecting battery health without any input from you.
- Advanced Over-Discharged Battery Recovery: Brings back over-discharged batteries at higher recovery rates — cells that most chargers would leave behind get a second chance here.
- Two-Color LED Indicators & Six Safety Protections: Red means charging, green means done — simple, per-slot, at a glance. And six built-in protections mean you can walk away without worrying about what happens next.
Overview
The XTAR L8 is the charger for anyone who goes through AA and AAA batteries in volume. Eight slots, full QC3.0 fast charging support, and smart battery recognition make it a practical solution for photographers, families, content creators, and anyone else who regularly needs a full fresh set ready to go. With a QC3.0 18W adapter, all eight slots charge simultaneously at 0.5A each — no slowdown, no compromise. The charger automatically identifies battery type and applies the optimal charging strategy for each cell, stopping precisely when each one is full to protect long-term capacity. Over-discharged battery recovery means you get more life out of every cell in your collection. The two-color per-slot LED indicators keep things simple — red while charging, green when done. Six safety protections cover the rest. Package includes the L8 charger, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and a user manual.
