MAIN FEATURES
04
Dual Power Input
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 and 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
about 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
you can monitor the charging status.
Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer
A20 Changer employs an individual-cell-voltage balancer. It isn’t
neces. sary 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 one 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 final
voltage of your battery, so as to store for a long time and protect
useful time of thebattery
Memory Preset
The charger can store up to 10 different charge/discharge profiles 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.

MAIN FEATURES
05
Terminal Voltage Control (TVC)
The charger allows user to set the charge/dischareg 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
maximumvalue.
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.
There is 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 included in the package. The free “Charge
Master”software gives you unparalleled ability to operate the
charger through your computer. You can update firmware from
“Charge Master”.
Inner Resistance of Battery Pack
Measure Inner resistance of battery pack inclusively all
connections and leads.

WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
06
These warnings and safety notes are
particularly important. Please follow the
instructions for maximum safety;
otherwise the charger and the battery
can bedamaged or at worst it can cause a
fire.
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,
noninflammable and nonconductive surface. Never place them on a
car seat, carpet or similar. Keep all the inflammable volatile
materials away from operating area.
Make sure you know the specifications 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 fire or explosion due to overcharging.
To avoid short-circuiting between the charge lead, always connect the
charge cable to the charger first, then connect the battery. Reverse the
sequence when disconnecting.

WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of
batteries.
●A battery pack, which consists of different types of cells (including different
manufacturers)
●A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly dis charged.
●Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard).
●A faulty or damaged battery.
●A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit.
●Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other
components.
●Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable
for the currents the charger delivers during 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, i.e. a 2 cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V
(in series).
●Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure? Make sure there
are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.

WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
Charging
During charge process, a specific 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 quickcharge 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 difference between resistance of cable and
connector, the charger 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 goldplated should be fitted 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 the charging instruction
provided by the manufacturer Strictly.
Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium battery espe cially.
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 battery s capacity is calculated by multiplying
single battery capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay the
same. The voltages imbalance may cause fire or explosion .Lithium battery
is recommended to charge in Series.
08

Discharging
The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity of the
battery, or to reduce the battery voltage to a defined level. The same
attention should be paid to the discharging process as charging. The
final discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid deep-dis-
charging. 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.

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.
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 flames or
explode. To avoid short circuits between the banana plugs, always connect
the charge leads to the charger first, and only then to the battery. Reverse
the sequence when disconnecting the pack.
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.
