"OK, so it's a battery charger. What's special about that? Well, a few things. First, it can charge up to eight batteries simultaneously. Just pop an AA or AAA battery (lithium ion or nickel metal hydride) into any one of the free slots -- and yes, it can handle both AA and AAA batteries, so you don't have to worry about what goes where -- pop on the magnetic cover, and away it goes."
"Another winning feature for me is that it can be run from any 15W or above USB-C charger . Most people have at least half a dozen of these lying around, or they have a multiport desktop charger to plug it into. However you choose to power it, it's far more convenient than plugging it into a wall outlet."
"Charge time is approximately 2.6 hours for a full set of batteries, which is suitable for something like household batteries that you won't need in a hurry. Keep the batteries in the charger, and keep the charger plugged into a nearby USB-C port. You're always good to go."
The Xtar L8 Box charges and stores up to eight AA or AAA batteries simultaneously, supporting lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride chemistries. A magnetic cover secures batteries in place while charging and storage. The unit accepts any USB-C power source rated 15W or higher, allowing use with common multiport desktop chargers or spare USB-C adapters instead of a wall outlet. A full set of batteries reaches charge in approximately 2.6 hours, making it suitable for household backup batteries kept ready by leaving them in the charger. The design targets reducing single-use alkaline AA and AAA consumption by maintaining a charged reusable battery stock.
