Standard Battery Parameters
WHEN ADJUSTING YOUR X2 AC PLUS BLACK EDITION CHARGING
PARAMETERS, BE SURE YOU SELECT THE PROPER BATTERY TYPE AND
CELL VOLTAGE FOR THE TYPE OF CELL YOU ARE CHARGING. CHARGING
BATTERIES WITH THE WRONG SETTINGS MAY CAUSE THE CELLS TO
BURST, CATCH FIRE OR EXPLODE.
Charging
Before charging your batteries, it is critical that you determine the maximum
allowable charge rate for your batteries. The X2 AC Plus Black Edition is capable
of charging at high rates that may not be suitable or safe for your particular
batteries. For example, Lithium cells are typically safe to charge at 1C, or the
total mAh÷1000. A 1200mAh battery would have a 1C charge rate of 1.2 amps. A
4200mAh battery would have a 1C charge rate of 4.2 amps. Some manufacturers
are oering Lithium cells that can be charged at greater than 1C but this should
ALWAYS be veried before charging a Lithium battery at rates higher than 1C.
Voltage is just as critical as the charging amperage rate and this is determined
by the number of cells in series, or “S”. For example, a 3S LiPo is rated at 11.1 volts
(“S” multiplied by a single LiPo cell with a nominal voltage of 3.7 volts DC. 3 cells
x 3.7 volts each equals 11.1 volts DC).
Connect the battery’s main leads to the charger output: red is positive and black
is negative. Keep in mind that the gauge or thickness of your charging leads
from the X2 AC Plus Black Edition to your battery must be of an acceptable
current rating to handle the Applied charge current. For maximum safety and
charging eectiveness, always match or exceed the main battery lead rating
when assembling or selecting your charging leads. If you charge a battery at
a high current rate (amperage) with a charging lead not rated for the chosen
amperage, the wire could get hot, catch re, short out and/or potentially destroy
your battery and the charger.
