The MC1 is a single port battery charger that charges at 0.5A current for lithium-ion batteries, charing up to 13 different battery types. This charger doesn't have all the bells and whistles of other chargers, and it's not supposed to, simplicity is the MC1's main objective. This USB powered charger is super small (under 4 inches in length), and slim so you can pack it along easily with the wrest of your belongings on a trip or keep inside your tool box. Unless you require the recharging capabilities of an entire police department, you probably don't need, or even want, a 16 bay charging station. That's why the MC1 is such a practical and affordable option for most flashlight owners.
