Warnings and Safety Notes

GB

Charging

Before charging your batteries, it is critical that you determine the maximum allowable charge rate for your batteries. The X1 RED is capable of charging at high rates that may not be suitable or safe for your particular batteries. For example, Lithium cells are typically safe to charge at 1C, or the total mAh ÷ 1000. A 1200mAh battery would have a 1C charge rate of 1.2 amps. A 4200mAh battery would have a 1C charge rate of 4.2 amps. Some manufacturers are offering Lithium cells that can be charged at greater than 1C but this should ALWAYS be verified before charging a Lithium battery at rates higher than 1C. Voltage is just as critical as the charging amperage rate and this is determined by the number of cells in series, or "S". For example, a 3S LiPo is rated at 11.1 volts ("S" multiplied by a single LiPo cell with a nominal voltage of 3.7 volts DC. 3 cells x 3.7 volts each equals 11.1 volts DC).

Connect the battery's main leads to the charger output: red is positive and black is negative. Keep in mind that the gauge or thickness of your charging leads from the X1 RED to your battery must be of an acceptable current rating to handle the applied charge current. For maximum safety and charging effectiveness, always match or exceed the main battery lead rating when assembling or selecting your charging leads. If you charge a battery at a high current rate (amperage) with a charging lead not rated for the chosen amperage, the wire could get hot, catch fire, short out and/or potentially destroy your battery and the charger. When in doubt, always use a higher gauge wire (lower AWG number). It is common to see charging leads constructed of 14AWG, 16AWG or 18AWG wire.

Always refer to recommendations from your battery manufacturer for your specific battery type and size before initiating a charge or discharge process.

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify Lithium or Lead-Acid battery packs.

Discharging

The X1 RED discharging functions are for two specific purposes:

• Refreshing the capacity of a Nickel-based battery that has lost capacity over time (NiMH or NiCd).
• Reducing the voltage of a Lithium battery for safe storage.

Lithium chemistry battery packs should only be discharged to their minimum safe voltage, no lower. Deep discharging a Lithium cell will do permanent damage. Refer to the Standard Battery Parameters table on page 6 of this manual for Minimum Discharge Voltages.

LiPo & LiHV Charge/Discharge Cycling

Lithium batteries are known to reach full capacity after a break-in period of about 10 charge/discharge cycles. We do not recommend you use the X1 RED charger to do this; normal use and recharging will achieve the same results. If you wish to perform a Lithium break-in on the bench with the X1 RED discharging to minimum acceptable voltages and performing a balance charge at 1C maximum rate is recommended. If you choose to break in your Lithium batteries under normal use, charging at only 1C for the first ten cycles will help ensure full performance and service life from your Lithium cells.

Features

Optimized Operating Software

The X1 RED "auto" feature sets the charge and discharge current for you automatically, preventing overcharging which can damage your battery. In the event of an error, the X1 RED instantly disconnects the circuit and sounds an alarm. This feature can be set by the user and controlled through the two-way link for maximum safety.

Program Select

The charger can store up to 10 different charge/discharge profiles for your convenience. You can keep the data pertaining to program settings of the battery for continuous charging or discharging. Users can call out this data at any time without setting any additional programming.

Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer

The X1 RED features a built-in cell voltage balancer so you don't need to fuss with external balancers while charging.

Balancing Individual Cells During Discharging

When used with a balancing board the X1 RED can monitor and balance each cell in the pack individually while discharging. If the voltage of any single cell is abnormal, the X1 RED will display an error message and the process will end automatically.

Adaptable to Various Types of Lithium Batteries

The X1 RED will charge and discharge a variety of Lithium batteries such as Li-ion, LiPo, LiFe and the new higher voltage LiPo, (LiHV) batteries.

Multiple Lithium Battery Charge Modes

The X1 RED features four methods of charging: Regular charge, Fast charge, Balance charge and Storage charge modes. We highly recommend using balance charge as it is the safest and best way to charge lithium chemistry batteries. If you plan on not using your Lithium chemistry batteries for an extended period of time, Storage charge mode is recommended to optimize your packs for long term storage and maximum lifespan.

Input Power Monitoring

The X1 RED's input voltage is monitored to protect the battery from becoming damaged. The process ends automatically if it drops below the limit.

Capacity and Temperature Limits

The charge process will terminate if either the charging capacity or battery temperature exceeds the limit set by the user. The temperature function requires an optional temperature probe, which is not included with the X1 RED.

Processing Time Limit

Protect your battery by setting a maximum time limit for charging and discharging.

Cyclic Charging/Discharging

A battery can be cycled 1 to 5 times consecutively. This process is good for refreshing and balancing your battery.

Maximum Safety

Our delta-peak voltage detection program ends the charge cycle whenever a battery's voltage exceeds the set threshold.

Automatic Charging Current Limit

Charging current can be set by the user when charging Lithium, NiCd or NiMH batteries. The 'AUTO' charging mode, however, is recommended when charging NiMH batteries with low impedance and capacity.

LiPo Battery Meter

The user can check the battery's total voltage, the highest and lowest as well as each cells voltage.

PC Control Using Charge Master Software

The free Charge Master software gives you unparalleled ability to operate the charger through the computer. You can monitor pack voltage, cell voltage and other data during the operation. Additionally, you have the ability to set up the charger and update the firmware.
