Features
Optimized Operating Software
The X1 “auto” feature sets the charge and discharge current for you automati-
cally, preventing overcharging which can damage your battery. In the event
of an error, the X1 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 features a built-in cell voltage balancer so you don’t need to fuss with
external balancers while charging.
Balancing Individual Cells During Discharging
The X1 also monitors and balances each cell in the pack individually while
discharging. If the voltage of any single cell is abnormal, the X1 will display an
error message and the process will end automatically.
Adaptable to various types of lithium batteries
The X1 will charge and discharge a variety of Lithium batteries, such as Li-ion,
LiPo and the new LiFe series of batteries.
Fast and Storage Mode of Lithium Batteries
The X1 features two styles of charging. “Fast” charge reduces the charge dura-
tion while “Store” controls the fi nal voltage of your battery, to optimize your
packs for long term storage and maximum lifespan.
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 NiCd or NiMH batteries.
The ‘AUTO’ charging mode, however, is recommended when charging NiMH
batteries with low impedance and capacity.
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 re-
quires an optional temperature probe, which is not included with the X1.
