Main Features
The power source can be 11-18V DC input, it can be powered up at any
plance with a 12V car battery or 100-240V AC input. The power supply is
built in an users could connect the AC Power cord to the main AC socket
directly. What’s more the AC input voltage is 100-240V so that the users could
use charger all over the world and don’t need to worry abo9ut any damage
caused by improper input voltage.
CHARGING STATUS MONITOR
When the charger is working, you can check the charging capacity, battery
voltage, charging time and internal resistance on the screen.
More important, the voltage curve can be displayed on the screen, so yo can
monitor the charging status.
INTERNAL INDEPENDENT LITHIUM BATTERY BALANCER
A20 Changer employs an individual-cell-voltage balancer. It isn’t necessary to
connect an external balancer for balance charging.
BALANCING INDIVIDUAL CELLS BATTERY DISCHARGING
During the process of discharging, C1-XR Charger can monitor and balance
each cell of the battery individually. Error message will be indicated and
process will be ended automatically if the voltage of any single on cell is
abnormal.
FAST AND STORAGE MODE OF LITHIUM BATTERY
Purposes to charge lithium battery varies, “fast” charge reduce the duration of
charging, whereas “store” state can control the nal voltage of your battery, so
as to store for a long time and protect useful time of the battery.
MEMORY PRESET
The charge can store up to 10 dierent charge/discharge proles for your
convenience. You can keep the data pertaining to program setting of the
battery of continuous charging or discharging. Users can call out these data
at any time without any special program setting.
TERMINAL VOLTAGE CONTROL (TVC)
The charger also user to set the charge/discharge and voltage.
CAPACITY LIMIT
The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current multiplied
ba time. If the charging capacity exceeds the limit, the process will be
terminated automatically when you set the maximum value.
PROCESSING TIME LIMIT
You can also limit the maximum process time to avoid any possible defect.
PC CONTROL SOFTWARE “CHARGE MASTER”
Please download the “PC Monitor” software on our website: www.ev-peak.com
Thereis a mini USB port in the charge which can be used to connect it to
the PC. You need optional USB cable (USB A Male to Mini B Male) which is
not include din the package. The free “Charge Master” software gies you
unparalleled ability to operate the charger through your computer. You can
update rmware from “Charge Master”.
INNER RESISTANCE OF BATTERY PACK
Measure Inner resistance of battery pack inclusively all connections and leads.

! Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to its power
supply. If any malfunction is found, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE
and refer to the operation manual. If any malfunction is found, TERMINATE
THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the operation manual.
! Keep the charger well away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine
and vibration. Never drop it.
! The allowable DC input voltage is 11-18V DC. The allowable AC input
voltage is 100-240V AC.
! This charger and the battery should be put on a heat-resistant,
noninammable and nonconductive surface. Never place them on a car
seat, carpet or similar. Keep all the inammable volatile materials away
from operating area.
! Make sure you know the specications of the battery to be charged or
discharged to ensure it meets the requirements of this charger. If the
program is set up incorrectly, the battery and charger may be damaged. It
can cause re or explosion due to overcharging.
! To avoid short-circuiting between the charge lead, always connect the
charge cable to the charger rst, then connect the battery. Reverse the
sequence when disconnecting.
• A battery pack, which consists of dierent types of cells (including dierent
manufacturers)
• A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged.
• Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard).
• A faulty or damaged battery.
• A battery tted with an internal charge circuit or a protection circuit.
• Batteries installed in a device or which are electronically linked to other
components.
• Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable
for the currents the charger delivers the charge process.
Pleasebearinmindthefollowingpointsbeforecommencing
charging:
• Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery 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 ie. a 2 cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in
series).
• Have you checked that all connections are rm and secure? Make sure
there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.

Warning and Safety NotesWarning and Safety Notes
DischargingCharging
The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity of the battery,
or to reduce the battery voltage to a dened level. The same attention should
be paid to the discharging process as charging. The nal discharge voltages
should be set up correctly to avoid deep-discharging. Lithium battery can not
be discharged to lower than the minimum voltage, or it will cause a rapid loss
of capacity or a total failure.
Generally, lithium battery doesn’t need to be discharged. please pay attention
to the minimum voltage of lithium battery to protect them.
Lithium batteries are recommended to be discharged partially rather than
fully. Frequent full discharging should be avoided if possible.
During charge process, a specic quantity of electrical energy is fed into the
battery. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by
charge time. The maximum permissible charge current varies depending
on the battery type or its performance, and can be found in the information
by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be
capable of quick charge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the
standard charge current.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black
is negative. Due to the dierence between resistance of cable and connector,
the charge can not detect resistance of the battery pack, the essential
requirement for the charger to work properly is that the charge lead should
be of adequate conductor cross-section, and high quality connectors which
are normally gold plated should be tted to both ends.
Always refer to the manual by battery manufacturer about charging methods,
recommended charging current and charging time. Especially, the lithium
battery should be charged according to the charging instructions provided by
the manufacturer strictly.
Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium battery especially.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.
Please get highlighted that lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and
in series.
In the parallel connection, the batterys capacity is calculated by multiplying
single battery capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay the
same. The voltages imbalance may cause re or explosion. Lithium battery is
recommended to charge in series.

CONNECTION
1 ConnectingtoPowerSource
C1-XR comes with the built in switching power supply. You can connect the
AC power cord directly to the main AC socket (100-240V AC) or attaching
directly to 12V car batteries. It is critically important that you use a fully
charged 13.8V car battery
2 ConnectingtheBattery
Important!!! Before connecting a battery it is absolutely essential to check
one last time that you have set the parameters correctly. If the settings are
incorrect, the battery may be damaged, and could even burst into ames
or explode. To avoid short circuits between the banana plugs, always
connect the charge leads to the charger rst, and only then to the battery.
Reverse the sequence when disconnecting the pack.
3 BalanceSocket.
The balance wire attached to the battery must be connected to the
charger with the negative marking. Take care to maintain correct
polarity!(See the wiring diagram below.) This diagram shows the correct
way to connect your battery to the AC while charging in the balance charge
program mode only.

WARNING
Failure to connect as shown in this diagram will damage this charger. To
avoid short circuit between the charge lead always connect the charge
cable to the charger rst, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence
when disconnecting.
