How to Use the Slim K4
- Plug it in: connect the USB-C cable from the box to the charger and a 5V 2A USB adapter.
- Load the batteries: insert each battery with its ends matching the + and − marks. Efest says charging starts on its own within a few seconds.
- Watch the lights: each bay’s light shows white while it charges and turns blue when the battery is full.
Who the Slim K4 Is For
It suits vapers who charge up to four 18650 or 21700 batteries from a USB adapter. For two bays, see the Slim K2, or for a screen and 2A charging, the LUC V4 Elite.
Good to know: No wall adapter comes in the box. Efest rates the input at 5V 2A, so use an adapter that supplies 2A.
