Your V Charge Stack

The V Charge Stack is the slim USB-C-powered stackable charger that ships with every V Core Set. It charges your Stick — no Bluetooth, no WiFi, no display. The clever bit is the stacking.

How stacking works

Each stackable charger has connectors on its short ends that lock into the next one. Add a second V Core Set to your kitchen, and the two chargers click together end-to-end in a row. One USB-C cable plugged into the charger at the end of the chain powers every charger in the row.

So if you're running three Sticks during a multi-protein cook, the three chargers sit side-by-side on the counter as a thin strip — one cable feeding all of them.

Charging the Stick

1. Plug the USB-C cable into the charger (or into the first charger in your chain)

2. Place the Stick into the cradle, contacts down — they seat magnetically into the right position

3. The LED on the charger turns on while charging

About the LED

The charger's LED turns on while actively charging and turns off somewhere in the 75–90% charge range. LED-off does not mean fully charged — a typical full charge takes about 60 minutes total, and the LED switches off well before the last 10–15% completes.

If you remove the Stick the moment the LED switches off, the MeatStick App may show the battery at 80–90% — that's the actual state-of-charge, not a defect. Leave the Stick on the charger for the full ~60 minutes for a true 100% charge.

Powered vs unpowered

The stackable charger doesn't have its own battery — it needs to be plugged in to work. When unplugged, it's just an inert cradle.

Compatibility

The stackable charger is designed for the V Core Stick. The V Prime Stick fits physically as well (same Stick dimensions), but the V Prime Set normally ships with its own Smart Base that adds WiFi and Bluetooth range extension on top of charging.
