Charger Operation; Warning; Lithium Battery Program [Lip0/Lihv/Life/Lilon] - HITEC X2 AC Plus Operation Manual

Charger Operation

The following section contains detailed procedures that must be followed to
make the charger work. When you power the charger on, it will automatically
enter the LiPo Battery balance program screen. Use the CHA/CHB button to
toggle between channels A and B and the BATT PROG/STOP button to enter the
BATT PROGRAM screen. Once in the Battery Programming section use the < or
> to select the desire battery or function then press ENTER/Start to make your
parameter adjustments. The X2 AC Plus is capable of the following processes
based on the type of battery chosen.

In this program the charger detects the condition of the battery
which is connected to the output and automatically charges the
battery.
AUTO CHG
Note: You should set up the upper limit of the charge current to
avoid damage by excessive feeding current. Some batteries of low
resistance and capacity can lead to higher current.
DISCHARGE This mode is for discharging 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 is

Lithium:
This program is only suitable for charging/discharging Lithium chemistry
batteries (LiPo, LiHV, LiIon and LiFe).
The X2AC+ offers the following lithium charge modes: Charge, Balance Charge,
Fast Charge, Storage and Discharge.
BEFORE SELECTING A CHARGE MODE, IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU SELECT THE
CORRECT TYPE OF LITHIUM BATTERY TO BE CHARGED. FAILURE TO DO SO

Warning

CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY AND POSSIBLE EXPLOSION.
Selecting a Lithium Battery Type:
From the "BATT/PROGRAM" screen, press the INC. – or
BATT/PROGRAM
DEC + button to scroll through the battery type selections.
LiPo BATT
Once you have selected the correct battery type, press the ENTER/Start ►
button to enter the charge/discharge menu.
Lithium Charge Mode:
BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHARGING YOUR BATTERY, MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE WARNINGS AND SAFETY
Warning INFORMATION CONTAINED ON PAGES 02-07.
IN THE CHARGE MODE, LITHIUM BATTERIES CAN BE CHARGED WITHOUT
THE USE OF A BALANCE ADAPTOR. A BALANCE ADAPTOR CAN BE USED,
Note
BUT IT IS NOT REQUIRED. BALANCE CHARGE MODE IS RECOMMENDED
FOR ANY BATTERY WITH A BALANCE LEAD.
See page 12 for the appropriate charging connections setup for this operation.
First, select the correct battery type by following the instructions page 16.
Once you have set the correct battery type, press the ► button once to enter
the charge mode and battery settings screen, use the INC. – or DEC + to select
"CHARGE" mode. Press the ► button again and the amp rate value will begin
flashing. Use the + or ▬ buttons to adjust the value to the desired rate. Follow
the instructions provided with your battery when setting the charge amperage
rate.
Press the ► button again and the voltage value will begin

flashing. Use the + or ▬ buttons to adjust the value to the
2.7A 11.1V (3S)
desired rate. The voltage and cell count should match the values listed on the
battery label.
