WHEN ADJUSTING YOUR X1 PRO CHARGING
PARAMETERS, BE SURE YOU SELECT THE PROPER
BATTERY TYPE AND CELL VOLTAGE FOR THE TYPE
OF CELL YOU ARE CHARGING. CHARGING BATTER
IES UNDER THE WRONG SETTINGS MAY CAUSE THE
CELLS TO BURST, CATCH FIRE OR EXPLODE.
Charging
Before charging your batteries, it is critical that you determine
the maximum allowable charge rate for your batteries. The X1 Pro
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 oering Lithium cells that can be charged at greater than
1C but this should ALWAYS be veried 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 Pro to your battery
must be of an acceptable current rating to handle the applied
7
Page 8
WARNINGS AND SAFETY NOTES (cont.)
charge current. For maximum safety and charging eectiveness,
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 re, 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 specic battery type and size before initiating a charge or
discharge process.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify Lithium or LeadAcid battery packs.

WARNINGS AND SAFETY NOTES (cont.)
Discharging
The X1 Pro discharging functions have two specic 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
Warning
LiPo 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 Pro 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 Pro, 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 rst ten cycles will help ensure full performance and service
life from your Lithium cells.
LITHIUM CELL WILL DO PERMANENT DAMAGE.

unique design that incorporates a joystick input device for very
simple operation.
Two DC Inputs
There are two DC inputs, one located on the right side of the charger and the other on the bottom for docking into the ePowerBox
17A (230W 13.8V Switch DC Power Supply - Part No. 44216).
Optimized Operating Software
The X1 Pro “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 Pro 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.
Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer
The X1 Pro features a built-in cell voltage balancer eliminating the
fuss of external balancers while charging.
Balancing Individual Cells During Discharging
The X1 Pro also monitors and balances each cell in the pack
individually while discharging. If the voltage of any single cell is
abnormal, the X1 Pro will display an error message and the process will end automatically.
Adaptable to Various Types of Lithium Batteries
The X1 Pro will charge and discharge a variety of Lithium batteries
such as Li-ion, LiPo and the new LiFe series of batteries.

The user can check a battery’s total voltage, the highest voltage,
the lowest voltage and each cell’s voltage.
Re-Peak Mode of NiMH/NiCd Battery
In Re-Peak Charge mode, the charger can peak charge the battery 1-3 times consecutively. This is good for making certain the
battery is fully charged and for checking how well the battery
receives fast charges.
13
Page 14
FEATURES (cont.) POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Delta-Peak Sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd
This automatic charge termination program is based on the principle of delta-peak voltage detection. When the battery’s voltage
exceeds the threshold, the charging process will be terminated
automatically.
Automatic Charging Current Limit
The charging current can be set by the user when charging NiCd
or NiMH batteries. The "AUTO" charging mode, however, is recommended when charging NiMH batteries with low impedance and
capacity.
Capacity Limit
The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current
multiplied by time. The charging process will terminate automatically if the charging capacity exceeds the limit set by the user.
Temperature Threshold
The battery’s internal chemical reaction will cause the temperature of the battery to rise. The charging process will terminate
automatically if the charger’s temperature exceeds the limit set by
the user.
Processing Time Limit
Protect your battery by setting a maximum time limit for charging
and discharging.

LITHIUM DISCHARGE MODE
If you plan to discharge your battery to reach safe storage levels
we strongly recommend that you use Storage Mode. In very few
instances should discharging become necessary with LiPo batteries. One such instance may include preparing a battery for disposal,
in which case the battery should not be completely discharged. Be
sure to follow the discharging instructions provided by the battery
manufacturer. Over-discharging a battery can severly damage
the battery and may cause a re or explosion.
