Description

Model: Hobby King Turnigy 10XC, for use with LiPo, Li-Ion, A123, NiCd, NiMH, and Pb battery
packs
10s Multi-Chemistry, 10 Amp, 400W model for charging with available high-power balancing, overcharge
protection, and automatic charge/discharge to storage (for Li batteries)

Features

Charges Lithium Polymer, Lithium Ion, A123, NiCd, NiMH, and Pb packs. Charges any brand of
pack.
Supports high-power balance charging of Li or A123 battery packs. Balance charges one 1s to 10s
pack, or two 1s to 5s LiPo packs simultaneously. When two packs are connected, the balance
connections and pack main discharge wires are wired in series by the charger.
Equipped with JST PA series times two, 6 position balance connectors which enable the charger to
monitor and independently charge each cell to its optimum level (balance charge operation).
Accepts Turnigy 10XC Adapters for plug-and-play compatibility. Turnigy 10XC Adapters support
from 2s to 6s battery packs (all brands) when the charger is running in the charger's default wiring
mode; termed "DEFAULT WIRING" in charger options menu. See section titled "Special Button
Operation" later in this user guide for more details on altering WIRING MODE.
Also supports customer-selectable, XH mode. JST XH/EH balance connectors and wiring are
growing to be the dominant scheme in the industry. Switching to XH mode, the Turnigy 10XC can
support existing XH style adapters you may already own. Splice in Turnigy 6 position battery
pigtails to the wires on existing adapters and you are good to go!
Supports non-balanced charge of Li (up to 2s), Ni (up to 28 cells), Pb (up to 24V), A123 (up to 12s).
Accepts 10-32 VDC input.
Up to 10A max charge current.
Maximum 25A input current
470W max continuous input and 400W max continuous output at 30V DC input. Charger will achieve
rated output to a 10s LiPo using 30V DC input. Increasing input voltage beyond 30V does increase
power output, but only if the charger's output voltage exceeds 42V; e.g., when charging 12s non-
balanced A123 packs. However, 32V DC input is a maximum rating. It is recommended to utilize
input voltage slightly below the absolute maximum.
Includes 1A proportional integrated balancers
Power-balance-charge packs through balance connectors in tandem with the main discharge wires of
the battery pack(s). Unit does not support balance-connector only charging.
Compensates for balance wire lengths up to six feet with 1mV accuracy.
Displays individual cell internal resistance to 0.1milliohm, for estimating pack quality, health, and
performance.
Storage Preset available to charge or discharge Li batteries to appropriate per-cell storage levels; 3.8v
(LiPo), 3.0v (A123).
During discharge to storage, the 10XC incorporates 1A-per-cell (nominal) discharge rate using the
charger's integrated balancing circuitry to provide up to 42W (at 10s) discharge power.
Light-grey, 2 line, 16 character backlit LCD display provides easy readability.
One button, Charge Optimization can be set for an Accurate 1mV cell balance and (C/20 termination)
