Warning and Safety Notes [cont.]
ATo avoid a short circuit between the charge lead, always connect the charge
cable to the charger rst, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence
when disconnecting.
ANever attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries:
• A battery tted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit
• A battery pack which consists of different types of cells (including
different manufacturer’s cells)
• A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged and
non-rechargeable batteries (these pose an explosion hazard)
• A faulty or damaged battery
• 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 YOU
COMMENCE CHARGING:
• Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you
are charging?
• Did you set up the 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 rm and secure?
• Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.

Standard Battery Parameters
WHEN ADJUSTING YOUR X2 HIGH POWER CHARGING PARAMETERS,
BE SURE YOU SELECT THE PROPER BATTERYTYPE AND CELL VOLTAGE
FOR THE TYPE OF CELL YOU ARE CHARGING. CHARGING BATTERIES WITH
THE WRONG SETTINGS MAY CAUSETHE 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 High Power 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 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 High Power 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 re, short out and/or potentially destroy your
battery and the charger.
Warning
Warning and Safety Notes [cont.]

7
Warning and Safety Notes [cont.]
Note
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
specic 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 High Power discharging functions are for two specic 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 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 High
Power 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 High
Power, 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.
Error Codes
In the case of an error, the screen will communicate the cause of the error and
emit an audible sound. The descriptions for these errors can be found on the

channel and lets you recall the data from each program setting at any time.
Terminal Voltage Control(TVC):
For experienced users, the charger’s end voltage can be reset.
Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer:
Hitec’s X2 High Power employs an individual cell-voltage balancer built into
the unit. It is not necessary to connect an external balancer for balance charging.

11
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.
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.
LiPo Battery 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.

Powered by AC Household Current: In AC mode, the X2 High Power has
a maximum charging output of 240 watts total. This charge output can be
allocated differently to the DC power to provide more or less charging power.
To adjust the wattage between the channels, go to the BATT/PROGRAM menu
and use the INC. – or DEC + buttons to get to the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu, press
ENTER/Start to enter the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu and use the – or + buttons to
scroll to the AC/DC Max Power Set screen. Press ENTER/Start and the wattage
amount will begin to blink on CH1, press ENTER/Start again to change the
wattage output for CH2. Use the – or + buttons to adjust the wattage for the
channel you have selected.
Adjusting one or both channels will change the DC port output
power, I.E. if you change both CH1 and CH2 to 120w the DC power will
automatically change to 10 watts. If you change CH1 to 70 watts and
CH2 to 100 watts then the DC port will automatically change to 80 watts.
Powered by Automotive Battery or DC Power Supply: The DC power output
port is used as the DC power input port when used with an external DC power
source or 12-volt car battery. When used in this mode, the X2 High Power has a
maximum charging output of 300 watts.
NOTE: It is extremely important that you use either a fully charged 12-volt car
battery or a high-quality AC/DC power supply with an output voltage range in
the 11-18V DC range and a minimum output power of 300W or higher to ensure a
reliable performance.

the following real-time information: battery type/cell
count, charging current, battery voltage, charging time and charged capacity.
If you are using a balance adaptor during charging,
you may press the + button to view the voltage of each
individual cell.
Once the battery is fully charged, the screen will read “FINISHED” and the charger
will emit a chiming sound. Press the ■button to stop charging. You may also
press the ■button at any time during the charging process to stop charging.
Lithium Balance Charge Mode:
This function is for balancing the voltage of individual Lithium-polymer battery
cells while charging. In order to use the Balance Mode, the battery must have a
balance lead. Charging in this mode is different from the normal modes because
the built-in processor monitors the voltage of each individual cell and controls
the discharge of each individual cell in order to equalize the voltage. Use of
a balance adaptor with any battery that has a balance lead will improve the
performance and lifespan of your battery.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHARGING YOUR BATTERY, MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE WARNINGS AND SAFETY
INFORMATION CONTAINED ON PAGES 2  7.

Lithium Fast Charge Mode:
Charging in Fast Charge Mode allows for a shorter charge time and will result
in a slightly reduced charging capacity. To achieve maximum charge capacity,
we recommend you use the Lithium Balance Charge Mode. If a fast charge
is necessary, select the fast charge mode and follow the same charging
instructions as for the Lithium Charge Mode or Lithium Balance Charge Mode.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHARGING YOUR BATTERY, MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE WARNINGS AND SAFETY
INFORMATION CONTAINED ON PAGES 2  7.
IN THE CHARGE MODE, LITHIUM BATTERIES CAN BE CHARGED WITHOUT
THE USE OF A BALANCE ADAPTOR. A BALANCE ADAPTOR CAN BE USED,
BUT IT IS NOT REQUIRED. BALANCE CHARGE MODE IS RECOMMENDED
