D cells will fit in my VC4s, as well (on the outer 2 slots); but the charging rate is much higher on the SV2s, and the fit is much better (the wells seem deeper, on the SV2, so the fit is more snug, for these larger D cells).
I'm looking forward to comparing one of these SV2s, with the Nitecore SC2, once it arrives.
I kind of miss the estimated time 'til charged remaining on the LED readout, as is found on the VC2 Plus units. That's a really nice feature, not found, here. On the other hand, the higher charge rate (2 Amps/hour, as opposed to the 1 Amp/hour on the VC2 Plus units) makes up for that lacking feature. Also, these are not USB-power-able; but that's no big surprise, given the higher amperage rate that they produce.
A nice bonus of this SV2 is that you can drop the charge rate down to as little as 200 mAh, which is great for much smaller batteries. A simple double-click of the center button, causes the select-able charge rate (200, 500, 1000, or 2000 mAh) to 200 mAh. When you initially plug in the power supply, the default charge rate is 1 Amp/hour. The displays work the same as with the VC2 Plus units, in that they dim automatically, after one minute, after placing a battery in the slot. I'm fairly sure the only units that stay on constantly (but are defeat-able, if wanted) are on the VP2 units.
As with the other XTAR units, the LED readouts are defeat-able by pressing an holding the mode switch (It's an on/off toggle).
These SV2 chargers run surprisingly cool, considering the higher charge rate, as well. They did a nice job with the heat sinking on these units.
Was very close to getting some tenergy centuras today, but ended up scoring an assorted eneloop pack on ebay instead. I read that the tenergys don't always fit right-might be short...You had any similar problems?

Whats with the bottle opener looking part on the blade?
Is that even a real question? I'm leaning towards it being some friendly nut busting, but in case you are actually serious, it the Emerson bottle opener. It works great, but it has the annoying habit of catching on the back of your pocket and inadvertently opening up when you pull it out.
And, why is Killroy wanting to wave at people?
I don't understand sarcasm, so the real answer is it's the emerson wave. It catches on your sack when you pull it out as you're carrying it on the part of your pocket nearest your belt buckle, ensuring the 'snap' of the lockup and the 'whack' of your balls as they return to starting position.

Out of all the Vics, mini tools, and knives I've gotten her, she used my plain alox classic the most. So naturally had to get her favorite color so she could have her own.
