Optimized Operating Software
The software in X2-400 automatically controls the current rate during the charging or
discharging process. This feature can prevent the user from overcharging their batteries
which could lead to damage or injury. If the charger detects a malfunction, the circuit
automatically disconnects and an alarm will sound, The operating functions of the
X2-400 are controlled through a two-way communication link in order to maintain
maximum safety with minimal errors. All of these functions and settings are easily config-
ured by the user.
Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancers
Each channel of the X2-400 employs an individual-cell voltage balancer eliminating the
need for an external balancer for balance charging.
Monitors Individual Cells During Battery Discharging
During the process of discharging, the X2-400 can monitor and display each cell of
lithium type batteries individually. If the voltage of any single cell is abnormal, an error
message will display and the discharge process will automatically end.
Charges Most Popular Lithium Batteries
The X2-400 is compatible with the three most common Lithium chemistry batteries,
Li-Ion, LiPo and LiFe.
Multiple Lithium Battery Charge Modes
The X2-400’s programming allows for Fast Charge, Balance Charge or Storage Charge
Modes for LiPo, Li-Ion, and LiFe batteries.
‡)DVW&KDUJH0RGH Reduces charging time, but does not balance the cells, this
mode only charges the battery to approximately 90% capacity.
‡%DODQFH&KDUJH0RGH Monitors individual cell voltage, keeping the cells within an
acceptable voltage range and charges the pack to peak capacity.
‡6WRUDJH&KDUJH0RGH Used for long-term battery storage. Adjusts the voltage
level so the battery will not be damaged during long term storage.
Delta Peak Technology for Maximum Safety
The automatic charge termination program utilizes Delta-Peak voltage detection.
When the battery's voltage exceeds the threshold, the charge process is terminated
automatically.
Automatic Charging Current Limit
The maximum charge rate can be manually set when charging NiCd or NiMH batteries.
The X2-400 will auto-detect when the batteries are fully charged and shut off, even with
low impedance NiMH packs.
