I ride 1-2 times per week for ~1 hr 45 min each time and use my headlight constantly (day or night) for safety reasons. This is not a review of the headlight (of which there are hundreds of similar ones available) but I will say that a) I like the headlight very much but b) 3800 lm is ridiculously bright and if I were to do it over again, I would go for something in the 1000-2000lm range. The original batteries (some generic Chinese brand) provided power for my rides but had to be recharged each time. After ~2 years, the batteries would no longer last for my full ride. Thus, the hunt for new batteries started.Tigervivi 8.4v 6400mah Silicone Waterproof 4 x 18650 Rechargeable Battery Pack for Headlamp & Bicycle Light – If you are reading this, you have probably found, as I did, that buying replacement batteries for your high power headlight is not all that easy. I bought the above battery pack for $13.86 in July 2016. Do not waste your money. Out of the box, this battery pack would not last a single ride for me. Based on comparison with detailed measurements I made on subsequent battery buys, I estimate the actual output of this battery pack at 800-1000mAh. If you are happy with that for $14, go for it. Otherwise, read on. Either way, I give this 1 star for misrepresenting the product output.I did find a good solution but it’s much more expensive than even the original $20 headlight. Regardless, I am quite happy with it…read on.Hanperal 4 X 18650 Water Resistant Battery Pack Case House Cover for Bike Bicycle Lamp – In July 2016, I bought a battery case for the 18650 batteries that power these high power bike headlights. The case I bought was a different brand (Solarstorm 2S2P 18650 battery case) and was GearBest.com but it looks absolutely identical to the above mentioned case that is available from Amazon for $15.99. (I paid $8 from GearBest.com.) The case seems to be well made and allows for individual removal of the 18650 batteries. The top also has an o-ring seal to help keep water out and a DC plug that works with the cheap DC charger provided with the original headlight to charge all four 18650 batteries in the case. I’m not rating the Hanperal case (since I can’t swear that it’s the same as what I have) but I am very happy with the one that I bought.SunLabz 18650 3.7V Rechargeable (4-Pack) Flat Top Battery Cells 3400mAh – The batteries made me the most nervous since they don’t even have a brand name on them, I haven’t ever heard of SunLabz and my experience with the Tigervivi battery pack left me feeling less than trusting. On the recommendation of a friend, however, I went ahead and bought these. Since I bought a nice little battery charger (discussed below) that provides a measure of how much energy each battery is taking in, I was able to fully discharge these (I know…not good for the batteries) and fully charge them to verify the capacity. I am very happy to say that all four came in at 3460-3525 mAh so I can recommend these without hesitation. At the $19.95 price I paid, they are not exactly cheap but are a good value considering the high power level that they can handle. I get a full three rides using these (i.e., >5 hours of continuous operation) after which the indicator button on my headlight turns red (although the headlight is still burning brightly). These measurements formed the basis for my estimate on the meager capacity of the Tigervivi batteries reviewed above. (Consider this…each SunLabz battery has almost double the capacity of all four Tigervivi batteries combined).XTAR VC4 Charger for Lithium-ion and Ni-MH Batteries – I bought this charger before I confirmed that I could charge my entire battery pack using the simple charger that came with my headlight. Nevertheless, I am quite happy with this $21.75 charger. It is compact, flexible (multiple battery capability), auto-detects the battery type and provides meaningful data on the batteries being charged (which speaks to the engineer in me). Even though it turned out that I didn’t need this charger, I have been happy to keep it and have ended up charging a bunch of Ni-MH batteries that I have bought since. I will say that it was delivered with scratches on the faceplate which may indicate poor handling by Schenzhen Precious Technology, Ltd (the seller) or even that the unit was used. However, it performs so well that I chose not to reduce its score on that basis.Bottom line – it took a lot more effort than I thought it would or think it should but I did find a truly excellent solution to my bike headlight battery problem that I hope is helpful to others as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good charger, Great value *by on Reviewed in the United States December 9, 2016* Works as advertised. Charges my NiMH AA and AAA batteries As well as the 18650 and 26650 batteries I bought it for. Not the fastest charger but the monitoring features are great. It doesn't come with a power supply so you will need a 2 amp USB power source. I used an old 5vdc 2a wall wart I had laying around. It's a good overnight charger but needs a couple of hours even on the NiMH's. It will charge 4 26650 batteries at once but needs at least 12 hours to do it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review from an owner of the Xtar VC4 and the Nitecore D4. *by on Reviewed in the United States September 22, 2015* I have both this charger and the Nitecore D4. I prefer the Xtar though for a few reasons.One, the charging rate is faster on the Xtar as long as you're using a decent 2.1+ amp usb wall charger. I consistently get 1.0a charges while charging 2 18650 Li ion batteries at once, and 500mah while charging four at once. The Nitecore D4 only charges at 750mah while charging two 18650's and at 375mah while charging four. Not a problem as long as you have enough spare batteries though.Two, I really like that the Xtar tells you how many mah's your batteries have received. This is the best way you'll know for sure if those 3400mah 18650's really are close to the advertised rating. The Nitecore only gives current voltage, charge rate, and elapsed time. Yes, you can figure out how many mah's were pumped into your batteries with that info, but it's an unnecessary step.Three, I really, really like that the Xtar is powered through usb! What's nice about this is I can plug this into my truck's usb 12v adapter and charge my batteries at night while camping and hunting. Of course this only works if you have a 12v outlet that stays on with the ignition off but it's a great option if you do. Normally I'd have to use a power inverter that would draw extra power from my car battery needlessly. Though the Nitecore D4 will work with a 12 volt adapter, it's adapter occupies the whole outlet, while the Xtar can be plugged into either a two or more usb outlet, thereby enabling another device to be charged at the same time.My only complaint with the Xtar is the drop to 500mah while charging four batteries. With the availability now of 4amp usb wall chargers, it would be nice to have this option.Bottom line is both are great chargers, but the Xtar has a few more features that I use and like that make it my favorite charger. If the above aren't important to you, save the extra (at the time of this review) $7 and get the Nitecore D4 instead. ## Frequently Bought Together - XTAR VC4 Charger for Lithium-ion and Ni-MH Batteries (Authentic USA Version) - Eneloop Panasonic BK-3MCCA8BA AA 2100 Cycle Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 8-Battery Pack - Eneloop Panasonic BK-4MCCA8BA AAA 2100 Cycle Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 8-Battery Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/78902138-xtar-vc4-charger-for-lithium-ion-and-ni-mh-batteries](https://www.desertcart.us/products/78902138-xtar-vc4-charger-for-lithium-ion-and-ni-mh-batteries) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
