  • Page 2: Specifications

    INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the C6 Intelligent Balance Charger by XCEED-RC. This product is a rapid charger with a high performance microprocessor and specialized operating software. Please read this operating manual completely before using this product. Specifications Operating voltage range: DC11.0~18.0 Volt...
  • Page 3 Balancing individual cells battery discharging During the process of discharging, C6 can monitor and balance each cell of the battery individually. If the charger detects that the voltage of any single cell is abnormal, an error message will be displayed and the process will be ended automatically.
  • Page 4 SPECIAL FEATURES Maximum safety Delta-peak sensitivity: The automatic charge termination is based on the principle of the delta- peak voltage detection. When the battery's voltage exceeds the threshold, the process will be terminated automatically. Automatic charging current limit You can set up the upper limit of the charging current when charging NiCd or NiMH batteries. This is useful for NiMH batteries of low impedance and capacity when using the 'AUTO' charging Capacity limit The charging capacity is calculated as the charging current multiplied by time.
  • Page 5 SPECIAL FEATURES Cyclic charging/discharging One to five cycles and continuous process of charge<>discharge is for balancing and stimulate the battery's activity.

  • Page 10 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES To avoid short circuit between the charge lead always connect the charge cable to the charger first, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting. Do not connect more than one battery pack to this charger at any one time. Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries.
  • Page 11 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging: Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery that you are charging? Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging? Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series, i.e.
  • Page 12 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Always refer to the recommendations by battery manufacturer for charging current and time. This is strictly important for lithium batteries. Attention should be paid to the connection of Lithium battery especially. Do not attempt to disassemble batteries. Please get highlighted that Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series.

  • Page 14 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES This charger will use for default settings when it is connected to a 12V power supply. The screen displays the information on the following pages in sequence and the user can change the parameter on each screen. If you need to alter the parameter value in the program, press 'Start/Enter' key to make it blink then change the value with '+' or '-' key.
  • Page 15 CHK Time 10 min CHK Time 10 min The C6 detects the cell count of lithium battery automatically at the beginning of charge or discharge process. A battery might not be detected if it has been over-discharged. You can set the time limit to verify the cell count by the processor.
  • Page 16 WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES There is a 3-pin port on the left of the charger used as USB interface or temperature sensor port. When the screen displays temperature, you can display the surface temperature of the battery by using the optional temperature probe. You can set the maximum temperature of the battery while charging.

  • Page 17: Safe Timer Calculation

    Safe timer Calculation Safe timer Calculation When charging NiCd or NiMH batteries, divide the capacity by current, then divide the result by 11.9. Use this as the number of minutes for safety timer setting. If the charger stops at this time, threshold about 140% of the capacity will have been fed into the battery.
