Loving the Xtar SC2 2 Amp USB chargers, got 6, as they keep the cells far cooler than other 2 A charges because the voltage converter does not dump as much heat into the connection points. They have some larger fast USB charges, but as they need Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 they are probably converting down from 12 V so I would expect similar heat to more traditional chargers.

I use xtar but tbh I hate all chargers for the reason that there's never enough room between the battery ports. I find myself picking at the top of batteries to remove them, which eventually results in having to re-wrap them. If anyone has solved this problem I'd love to here it 😁

I find if I flip them up from the middle then they jump out like from a torpedo launcher. Solution: have the other hand placed ready to catch it

while at home the leads are well out of the way, and for travel I take one or two and can even get 2 A charging from a power bank,

Hmmm that doesn't seem a bad idea tbh I have their rocket 2 port which I do find the best I've had so far. The 4 ports just get on my nerves
