Discharging
The X1 Pro discharging functions have two specic purposes:
• Refreshing the capacity of a Nickel-based battery that has lost
capacity over time (NiMH or NiCd).
• Reducing the voltage of a Lithium battery for safe storage.
LITHIUM CHEMISTRY BATTERY PACKS SHOULD
ONLY BE DISCHARGED TO THEIR MINIMUM SAFE
VOLTAGE, NO LOWER. DEEP DISCHARGING A
LITHIUM CELL WILL DO PERMANENT DAMAGE.
REFER TO THE STANDARD BATTERY PARAMETERS
TABLE ON PAGE 7 OF THIS MANUAL FOR MINIMUM
DISCHARGE VOLTAGES.
LiPo Charge/Discharge Cycling
Lithium batteries are known to reach full capacity after a break-in
period of about 10 charge/discharge cycles. We do not recom-
mend you use the X1 Pro Charger to do this, normal use and
recharging will achieve the same results. If you wish to perform
a Lithium break-in on the bench with the X1 Pro, discharging to
minimum acceptable voltages and performing a balance charge
at 1C maximum rate is recommended. If you choose to break in
your Lithium batteries under normal use, charging at only 1C for
the rst ten cycles will help ensure full performance and service
life from your Lithium cells.
