HITEC X1 AC Plus: Single Port AC/DC Chargers - Manual (Page 15)

This function is for balancing the voltage of individual Lithium-polymer bat-
tery cells while charging. In order to use the Balance Mode, the battery must
have a balance lead. Charging in this mode is diff erent from the normal modes
because the built-in processor monitors the voltage of each individual cell and
controls the input current fed into each cell in order to equalize the voltage.
Use of a balance adaptor with any battery that has a balance lead will improve
the performance and lifespan of your battery.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHARGING YOUR BATTERY, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE WARNINGS AND SEFETY INFOR-
MATION CONTAINED ON PAGES 4-7.
