Battery charger Nitecore SC4 4‑slot AC/DC for Li‑Ion and LiFePO4, supports AA AAA AAAA C D, black

The Nitecore SC4 is a compact 4‑slot household battery charger designed to recharge lithium‑ion (Li‑Ion) and lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LiFePO4) cells. It accepts AC and DC input (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz) and delivers a per‑slot charge output of 4.35 V, allowing simultaneous charging of up to four cells. The charger accommodates common cylindrical sizes including AA, AAA, AAAA, C and D and is offered in a black finish suitable for home, workshop or travel use.

Advantages

The charger combines versatile power input with multi‑slot convenience, enabling up to four batteries to be charged at the same time. Its 4.35 V per‑slot output matches the requirements of many Li‑Ion and LiFePO4 chemistries, and the physical design supports several common cell sizes without adapters. Lightweight and compact, the unit is intended for everyday charging tasks where reliable, straightforward operation is required.

Suitable for

• Household users who need to recharge multiple rechargeable AA, AAA, AAAA, C or D cells.
• Workshop environments where a compact charger with AC/DC input is useful for mixed battery inventories.
• Travel or mobile use thanks to broad input voltage compatibility (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz) and DC input support.

When it may not be suitable

This charger is tailored for Li‑Ion and LiFePO4 cells and physical sizes AA, AAA, AAAA, C and D. It is not appropriate for non‑rechargeable primary batteries or for chemistries and formats outside those listed. Users who need specialized charging profiles, very high‑current fast charging, or integrated battery management for uncommon cell types should consider a different model.

Key specifications

• Number of charging slots: 4
• Supported cell chemistries: Li‑Ion, LiFePO4
• Supported cell sizes: AA, AAA, AAAA, C, D
• Per‑slot charge voltage: 4.35 V
• Input voltage: AC/DC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz (supports wide mains range and DC sources)

How to use

Insert rechargeable cells into the slots observing correct polarity. Connect the charger to a suitable AC or DC power source within the rated 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz range. The unit will charge up to four cells simultaneously; monitor charging progress according to the charger's indicators. Remove cells once charging is complete and allow the charger to cool before storing. Do not attempt to charge non‑rechargeable batteries.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that your batteries are Li‑Ion or LiFePO4 and are within the supported sizes (AA, AAA, AAAA, C, D).
• Ensure the per‑slot voltage (4.35 V) is compatible with your cell chemistry and manufacturer recommendations.
• Confirm you do not require specialized charging modes (e.g., very high current, deep‑conditioning cycles) not provided by this basic multi‑slot charger.

Usage recommendations

For safe, reliable operation, use the charger in a well‑ventilated area on a stable surface, charge batteries of the same chemistry and similar state of charge together when possible, and follow cell manufacturer guidelines for maximum charge voltage and current.
