Warning and Safety Notes [cont.]

A To avoid a short circuit between the charge lead, always connect the charge

cable to the charger  rst, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence
when disconnecting.

A Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries:

• A battery  tted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit

• A battery pack which consists of diff erent types of cells (including

diff erent manufacturer’s cells)

• A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged and

non-rechargeable batteries (these pose an explosion hazard)

• A faulty or damaged battery

• Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other

components

• Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be

suitable for the currents the charger delivers during the charge process

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THE FOLLOWING POINTS BEFORE YOU
COMMENCE CHARGING:

• Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you

are charging?

• Did you set up the adequate current for charging or discharging?

• Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired

in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in
series).

• Have you checked that all connections are  rm and secure?

• Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.

Standard Battery Parameters

WHEN ADJUSTING YOUR X2 HIGH POWER CHARGING PARAMETERS,
BE SURE YOU SELECT THE PROPER BATTERY TYPE AND CELL VOLTAGE
FOR THE TYPE OF CELL YOU ARE CHARGING. CHARGING BATTERIES WITH
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 X2 High Power 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 off ering Lithium cells that can be charged at greater than 1C but this should
ALWAYS be veri ed 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 X2 High Power to your battery must be of an acceptable current
rating to handle the applied charge current. For maximum safety and charging
eff ectiveness, 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.

Warning

Warning and Safety Notes [cont.]

Warning and Safety Notes [cont.]

Note

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
speci c 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 X2 High Power discharging functions are for two speci c 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 X2 High
Power 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 X2 High
Power, 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.

Error Codes

In the case of an error, the screen will communicate the cause of the error and
emit an audible sound. The descriptions for these errors can be found on the

Features

Dual Input and Power Distribution:

The X2 High Power has a dual AC/DC input comprised of AC 100-240V and DC
11-18V. In DC mode, the power of each channel is 120W with an overall power
of 240W. Power distribution is supported in AC mode, with the ability to power
other DC powered devices using the chargers built-in DC output power supply.

Optimized Operating Software:

The X2 High Power features the latest in innovative microprocessor controlled
charging software to help aid end users in charging their batteries safely and

if an abnormal reaction has been detected. Each programming feature of your
X2 High Power is controlled by two way linkage and communication and is
completely customizable to the user’s preferences.

Battery Memory (Data Store/Load):

channel and lets you recall the data from each program setting at any time.

Terminal Voltage Control(TVC):

For experienced users, the charger’s end voltage can be reset.

Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer:

Hitec’s X2 High Power employs an individual cell-voltage balancer built into
the unit. It is not necessary to connect an external balancer for balance charging.

11

Re-Peak Mode of NiMH/NiCd Battery:

In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak charge the battery once, twice,
or three times in a row automatically. This function is useful for ensuring a full
battery charge.

Delta-Peak Sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd:

This automatic charge termination program is based on the principle of the
Delta-peak voltage detection. When the battery’s voltage exceeds the threshold,
the process will be terminated automatically.

Cyclic Charging/Discharging:

1 to 5 cyclic and continuous charge > discharge or discharge > charge sessions
are optimal for battery performance and balancing.

Automatic Charging Current Limit:

You can set the upper limit of the charging current when charging your NiMH
or NiCd battery. 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 voltage, the lowest
voltage and the voltage of each cell.

Battery Internal Resistance Meter:

The user can check the battery’s total internal resistance and the internal
resistance of each cell.

Capacity Limit:

The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current multiplied by
time. If the charging capacity exceeds the limit, the process will automatically
terminate according to the maximum value previously set.

Temperature Threshold*:

The battery’s internal chemical reaction will cause the temperature of the
battery to rise. If the temperature limit is reached, the process will be terminated.

* This function is available by connecting an optional temperature probe which
is available as a separate purchase.

Processing Time Limit:

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

Powered by AC Household Current:

In AC mode, the X2 High Power has

a maximum charging output of 240 watts total. This charge output can be
allocated diff erently to the DC power to provide more or less charging power.

To adjust the wattage between the channels, go to the BATT/PROGRAM menu
and use the INC. – or DEC + buttons to get to the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu, press
ENTER/Start to enter the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu and use the – or + buttons to
scroll to the AC/DC Max Power Set screen. Press ENTER/Start and the wattage
amount will begin to blink on CH1, press ENTER/Start again to change the
wattage output for CH2. Use the – or + buttons to adjust the wattage for the
channel you have selected.

Adjusting one or both channels will change the DC port output
power, I.E. if you change both CH1 and CH2 to 120w the DC power will
automatically change to 10 watts. If you change CH1 to 70 watts and
CH2 to 100 watts then the DC port will automatically change to 80 watts.

Powered by Automotive Battery or DC Power Supply: The DC power output

port is used as the DC power input port when used with an external DC power
source or 12-volt car battery. When used in this mode, the X2 High Power has a
maximum charging output of 300 watts.

NOTE: It is extremely important that you use either a fully charged 12-volt car
battery or a high-quality AC/DC power supply with an output voltage range in
the 11-18V DC range and a minimum output power of 300W or higher to ensure a
reliable performance.

Commonly Used Terms

Commonly Used Terms:

A, mA:

Unit of measurement relating to a charge or discharge current. 1000 mA

= 1A (A = Ampere, mA = Milliampere).

Ah, mAh: Unit of measurement for the capacity of a battery (Amperes x Time
Unit; h = hour). If a pack is charged for one hour at a current of 2A, it has been
fed 2Ah of energy. It receives the same quantity of charge (2Ah) if it is charged
for 4 hours at 0.5A, or 15 minutes (=1/4 hour) at 8A.

‘C’ - Rating: Capacity is also referred to as the ‘C’ rating. Some battery suppliers
recommend charge and discharge currents based on the battery ‘C’ rating. A
battery’s ‘1C’ current is the same number as the battery’s rated capacity number,
but noted in mA or amps. A 600mAh battery has a 1C current value of 600mA,
and a 3C current value of (3 x 600mA) 1800mA or 1.8A. The 1C current value for a
3200mAh battery would be 3200mA (3.2A).

Final Charge Voltage: The voltage at which the battery’s charge limit (capacity
limit) is reached after which the charge process switches from a high current
to a low maintenance rate (trickle charge). From this point on, any further high
current charging would cause overheating and eventual terminal damage to the
pack.

Final Discharge Voltage:

The voltage at which the battery’s

discharge limit is reached. The chemical composition of the batteries determines
the level of this voltage. Below this voltage, the battery enters deep discharge
zone. Individual cells within the pack may become reverse polarized under these
conditions, resulting in permanent damage.

Nominal Voltage (V):

The nominal voltage of the battery pack can be

determined as follows:

- NiCd or NiMH: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 1.2. An 8-cell
pack will have a nominal voltage of 9.6 volts (8 x 1.2).

- LiPo: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.7. A 3-cell LiPo wired in
series will have a nominal voltage of 11.1 volts (3 x 3.7).
4-cell LiHV wired in a series will have a nominal voltage of 14.8 volts. (4 x 3.7).

42

Commonly Used Terms [cont.]

- LiIon: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.6. A 2-cell LiIon wired

in a series will have a nominal voltage of 7.2 volts (2 x 3.6).

- LiFe: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.3. A 4-cell LiFe wired in
a series will have a nominal voltage of 13.2 volts. (4 x3.3).

- LiHV: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.7. A 4-cell LiHV wired in
a series will have a nominal voltage of 14.8 volts. (4 x 3.7).

If the nominal voltage of the battery is not printed on
the battery’s label, consult your battery manufacturer
or supplier. Do not attempt to guess the rated voltage
of the battery.
