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
Warning 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 offering Lithium cells that can be charged at greater than 1C but this should
ALWAYS be verified 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 effectiveness, 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 fire, short out and/or potentially destroy
your battery and the charger.
6
Warning and Safety Notes [cont.]
When in doubt, always use a higher gauge wire (lower AWG number). It is
common to see charging leads constructed of 14AWG, 16AWG or 18AWG wire.
Always refer to recommendations from your battery manufacturer for your
specific battery type and size before initiating a charge or discharge process.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify Lithium or Lead-Acid battery packs.

Discharging
The X2 AC Plus Black Edition discharging functions are for two specific 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
Note STANDARD BATTERY PARAMETERS TABLE ON PAGE 6 OF THIS MANUAL
FOR MINIMUM DISCHARGE VOLTAGES.
LiPo & LiHV 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 recommend you use the X2 AC
Plus Black Edition 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 X2 AC Plus Black Edition, 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 first ten cycles will help ensure full performance and service life from your
Lithium cells.

different chemistry (LiPo/LiFe/Lilon/LiHV/NiMH/
NiCd/Pb) batteries into any of the charging ports.
Dual Input and Power Distribution:
The X2 AC Plus Black Edition has a dual AC/DC input comprised of AC 100-240V
and DC 11-18V. In DC mode, the power of each channel is 100W with an overall
power of 200W. Power distribution is supported in AC mode. For example, if
Channel A is 70W and Channel B is 30W, total power is 100W.
Optimized Operating Software:
The X2 AC Plus Black Edition features an AUTO function that sets the feeding
current during charging or discharging. For lithium batteries especially,
this function helps prevent overcharging and its consequences. It can also
disconnect the circuit automatically and sound an alarm if an abnormal
reaction has been detected. Each programming feature of your X2 AC Plus Black
Edition is controlled by two way linkage and communication and is completely
customizable to the user’s preferences.

Features [cont.]
Smartphone Control via Bluetooth w/Scan to Go (iOS and Android):
The X2 AC Plus Black Edition uses its built-in Bluetooth and the Hitec LinkPower X
App to allow the user to control the charger via their iOS or Android Smartphone.
This App also offers a unique SCAN TO GO automatic charging system. Users
with many different types of batteries will find this feature very useful. The
revolutionary SCAN TO GO provides a solution to this problem by allowing the
user to assign a QR code which contains all the relevant data for the battery
for charging or discharging. The user can create and print a unique QR code by
using the Hitec LinkPower X App. Attach the QR code to your battery, then using
your Smartphone, launch the Hitec LinkPower X App. All the essential setup
information is stored in the QR code. All you need to do is press the Scan button
and the charge or discharge process will start automatically.
DC Power Output Port:
The X2 AC Plus Black Edition has a DC output port capable of delivering up to 100
watts @ 13.6 volts DC. This eliminates the need to bring a separate power supply
to the racing track or flying filed.
Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer:
Hitec’s X2 AC Plus Black Edition employs an individual cell-voltage balancer. It is not
necessary to connect an external balancer for balance charging and discharging.
Terminal Voltage Control (TVC):
For experienced users, the charger’s end voltage can be reset.
Voice Guide:
This feature makes the charger more intuitive and user friendly.
Fast Charge and Storage Mode of Lithium Batteries:
The function of these two modes differs from one another. “FAST CHG” minimizes
the battery charge time, while “STORAGE” has the capacity to control the final
battery voltage, which is necessary and helpful for a rarely used battery.
Re-Peak Mode of NiMH/NiCd Battery:
In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak charge the battery once, twice,
or three times in a row automatically. This function is useful for ensuring a full
battery charge.

11
 Features [cont.]
Delta-Peak Sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd:
This automatic charge termination program 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.
Cyclic Charging/Discharging:
1 to 5 cyclic and continuous charge > discharge or discharge > charge sessions
are optimal for battery performance and balancing.
Automatic Charging Current Limit:
You can set the upper limit of the charging current when charging your NiMH
or NiCd battery. The ‘AUTO’ charging mode, however, is recommended when
charging NiMH batteries with low impedance and capacity.
Battery Voltage Meter:
The user can check the battery’s total voltage, the highest voltage, the lowest
voltage and the voltage of each cell.
Battery Internal Resistance Meter:
The user can check the battery’s total internal resistance and the internal
resistance of each cell.
Capacity Limit:
The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current multiplied by
time. If the charging capacity exceeds the limit, the process will automatically
terminate according to the maximum value previously set.
Temperature Threshold*:
The battery’s internal chemical reaction will cause the temperature of the battery
to rise. If the temperature limit is reached, the process will be terminated.
* This function is available by connecting an optional temperature probe which is
available as a separate purchase.
Processing Time Limit:
Protect your battery by setting a maximum time limit for charging and discharging.
USB Power 5V/2.1A
You can charge your phone and
tablet using the built-in USB
power output port.

 Operation
Here is the detailed procedure to operate the X2 AC Plus Black Edition. All screens
and operations will take LiPo BALANCE CHARGE program for example,

Note: We will explain the operating procedure of one channel as the

procedure for channel A and B is identical.

Connection
Connecting to power source
There are two kinds of inputs for X2 AC Plus Black Edition, DC 11-18V and AC 100-240V.
A. Operating in AC mode
X2 AC Plus Black Edition comes with built-in switching power supply. You can
connect the AC power cord directly to the main AC socket. (100-240V AC).
Note: The output power in AC mode is 100W totally for Channel A, Channel B
and Power supply.
In AC mode, it supports Power Distribution. The total power for Channel A,
Channel B and power supply is 100W. You could set the Max Power for one output
port (Take Channel A for example) as following,
DC SUPPLY : 20W
A
CHA:50 W CHB:30W
DC SUPPLY : 20W
B
CHA:50 W CHB:30W
Then, the channel B and DC power supply will take the rest power automatically
(For example, if you set DC power supply as 20W and Channel A as 50W, the
Channel B will take the rest power of 30W. If Channel A / Channel B and DC power
supply are both working, you can’t change the power for them. If DC power
supply is working, you can change the power of Channel A and Channel B. Thus,
the DC power supply will take the rest power automatically.
B. Operating in DC mode
Please connect X2 AC Plus Black Edition with AC / DC power supply by
supplied DC input cable. You can also use terminal clips with DC connectors to
attach directly to 12V car batteries. It is critically important that you use either
a fully charged 13.8V car battery or a high-quality AC / DC power supply in
the range of 11-18V DC output with a minimum power of 300W or higher to
insure reliable performance.

5. SCAN TO GO
A very unique feature of the X2 AC Plus Black Edition is SCAN TO GO
(automatic charging system). As the range of battery types and capacity
becomes more varied, each battery requires its own dedicated charging
process. Note: It is easy to set up the charger incorrectly for a specific type of
battery, resulting in battery damage or possible injury.

The revolutionary SCAN TO GO provides a solution to this problem by

allowing the user to assign a QR code. This QR code will contain all relevant
data for the battery’s charging or discharging. The user can create a unique
QR code by using the LinkPower X App. Once complete, the user will print
and paste the QR code on the battery.

Use your Smartphone to launch the LinkPower X App containing all the
essential information stored in the QR code. All you need to do is press the
Scan button and the charge or discharge process will start automatically.

 Commonly Used Terms
Commonly Used Terms:
A, mA: Unit of measurement relating to a charge or discharge current. 1000
mA = 1A (A = Ampere, mA = Milliampere).
Ah, mAh: Unit of measurement for the capacity of a battery (Amperes x Time
Unit; h = hour). If a pack is charged for one hour at a current of 2A, it has been
fed 2Ah of energy. It receives the same quantity of charge (2Ah) if it is charged
for 4 hours at 0.5A, or 15 minutes (=1/4 hour) at 8A.
‘C’ - Rating: Capacity is also referred to as the ‘C’ rating. Some battery suppliers
recommend charge and discharge currents based on the battery ‘C’ rating.
A battery’s ‘1C’ current is the same number as the battery’s rated capacity
number, but noted in mA or amps. A 600mAh battery has a 1C current value of
600mA, and a 3C current value of (3 x 600mA) 1800mA or 1.8A. The 1C current
value for a 3200mAh battery would be 3200mA (3.2A).
Final Charge Voltage: The voltage at which the battery’s charge limit (capacity
limit) is reached after which the charge process switches from a high current
to a low maintenance rate (trickle charge). From this point on, any further high
current charging would cause overheating and eventual terminal damage to
the pack.
Final Discharge Voltage: The voltage at which the battery’s
discharge limit it reached. The chemical composition of the batteries
determines the level of this voltage. Below this voltage, the battery enters
deep discharge zone. Individual cells within the pack may become reverse
polarized under these conditions, resulting in permanent damage.
Nominal Voltage (V): The nominal voltage of the battery pack can be
determined as follows:
- NiCd or NiMH: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 1.2. An 8-cell
pack will have a nominal voltage of 9.6 volts (8 x 1.2).
- LiPo: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.7. A 3-cell LiPo wired
in series will have a nominal voltage of 11.1 volts (3 x 3.7).
4-cell LiHV wired in a series will have a nominal voltage of 14.8 volts. (4 x 3.7).

48
Commonly Used Terms [cont.]
- Lilon: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.6. A 2-cell Lilon wired
in a series will have a nominal voltage of 7.2 volts (2 x 3.6).
- LiFe: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.3. A 4-cell LiFe wired in
a series will have a nominal voltage of 13.2 volts. (4 x 3.3).
- LiHV: Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.8. A 4-cell LiHV wired in
a series will have a nominal voltage of 15.2 volts. (4 x 3.8).
If the nominal voltage of the battery is not printed on
Note
the battery’s label, consult your battery manufacturer
or supplier. Do not attempt to guess the rated voltage
of the battery.
