Features

Optimized Operating Software
The X1 RED "auto" feature sets the charge and discharge
current for you automatically, preventing overcharging
which can damage your battery. In the event of an error,
the X1 RED instantly disconnects the circuit and sounds
an alarm. This feature can be set by the user and control-
led through the two-way link for maximum safety.
Program Select
The charger can store up to 10 different charge/discharge
profiles for your
convenience. You can keep the data pertaining to
program settings of the battery for continuous charging
or discharging. Users can call out this data at any time
without setting any additional programming.
Internal Independent Lithium Battery
Balancer
The X1 RED features a built-in cell voltage balancer so
you don't need to fuss with external balancers while
charging.
Balancing Individual Cells During Dischar-
ging
When used with a balancing board the X1 RED can mo-
nitor and balance each cell in the pack individually while
discharging. If the voltage of any single cell is abnormal,
the X1 RED will display an error message and the process
will end automatically.
Adaptable to Various Types of Lithium
Batteries
The X1 RED will charge and discharge a variety of Lithium
batteries such as Li-ion, LiPo, LiFe and the new higher
voltage LiPo, (LiHV) batteries.
Multiple Lithium Battery Charge Modes
The X1 RED features four methods of charging: Regular
charge, Fast charge, Balance charge and Storage charge
modes. We highly recommend using balance charge as
it is the safest and best way to charge lithium chemistry
batteries. If you plan on not using your Lithium chemistry
batteries for an extended period of time, Storage charge
mode is recommended to optimize your packs for long
term storage and maximum lifespan.
Input Power Monitoring
The X1 RED's input voltage is monitored to protect the
battery from becoming damaged. The process ends auto-
matically if it drops below the limit.
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 requires an optional
temperature probe, which is not included with the X1
RED.
Processing Time Limit
Protect your battery by setting a maximum time limit for
charging and discharging.
Cyclic Charging/Discharging
A battery can be cycled 1 to 5 times consecutively. This
process is good for refreshing and balancing your battery.
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
Lithium, NiCd or NiMH batteries. The 'AUTO' charging
mode, however, is recommended when charging NiMH
batteries with low impedance and capacity.
LiPo Battery Meter
The user can check the battery's total voltage, the highest
and lowest as well as each cells voltage.
PC Control Using Charge Master Software
The free Charge Master software gives you unparalleled
ability to operate the charger through the computer. You
can monitor pack voltage, cell voltage and other data
during the operation. Additionally, you have the ability to
set up the charger and update the firmware.
