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.
Warning
Warning and Safety Notes [cont.]

7
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 AC Plus Black Edition 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 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 rst ten cycles will help ensure full performance and service life from your
Lithium cells.

Features
Twin-channel Charger
X2 AC Plus Black Edition allows you to plug 2
batteries into one charger simultaneously, and
it will intelligently and automatically charge 2
batteries at once to their maximum capacity. To top
of it, the batteries being charged do not even need
to have the same conguration. You can connect
dierent 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.
Battery Memory (Data Store/Load):
The charger can store up to 10 unique charge/discharge proles for each
channel and lets you recall the data from each program setting at any time.
PC Control Software“Charge Master”:
Equipped with free“Charge Master” software, the X2 AC Plus Black Edition gives
you unparalleled ability to operate the charger via your personal computer. You
can monitor pack voltage, cell voltage, and other data during battery charging
or view the charge data in real-time graphs. The “Charge Master”gives you the
option to initiate and update rmware as well.
With the“Charger Master” software and a single computer connection, you are
able to operate and update two channels at the same time.

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 oers a unique SCAN TO GO automatic charging system. Users
with many dierent types of batteries will nd 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 ying led.
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 diers from one another. “FAST CHG”minimizes
the battery charge time, while “STORAGE”has the capacity to control the nal
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.
Features [cont.]

12
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,
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,
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.
Note: We will explain the operating procedure of one channel as the
procedure for channel A and B is identical.

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 potentially burst into ames or explode.
To avoid short circuits between the banana plugs, always connect the charge
leads to the charger rst and then to the battery. Reverse the sequence when
disconnecting the pack.
Balance Socket
The balance wire attached to the battery must be connected to the charger
with the black wire aligned 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 X2 AC Plus

Program Description
This charging mode is for charging LiPo/LiFe/LiIon/LiHV battery in normal mode.
This program is for charging or discharging
will not be used for long time.
The charging capacity may be less than normal charging but the
process time will be reduced.
This mode is for balancing the voltage of lithium-polymer battery
cells while charging.
The charger will charge NiMH and NiCd batteries using the
charge current set by the user.
In this program the charger detects the condition of the battery
which is connected to the output and automatically charges the
battery.
In re-peak charge mode, the charger can peak charge the
battery once, twice or three times in a row automatically. This is
good for confirming the battery is fully charged, and for checking
how well the battery receives fast charges.
1 to 5 cyclic and continuous process of charge>discharge or
discharge>charge is operable for battery refreshing and
balancing to stimulate the battery's activity.

Lithium Battery Program [LiPo/LiHV/LiFe/Lilon]
Lithium:
This program is only suitable for charging/discharging Lithium chemistry
batteries (LiPo, LiHV, LiIon and LiFe).
The X2 AC Plus Black Edition oers the following lithium charge modes: Charge,
Balance Charge, Fast Charge, Storage and Discharge.
BEFORE SELECTING A CHARGE MODE, IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU SELECTTHE

followed by the “CONFIRM (ENTER) / CANCEL (STOP)“
screen. This screen displays the number of cells you set up
as ”R” and the number of cells detected by the processor as“S”. If both numbers
are identical, you may press and hold the ENTER/Start ►button to conrm and
begin charging. If these numbers do not match, press the BATT/PROG Stop ■
button to return to the previous screen and carefully check the number of cells
of the battery pack before proceeding.
DURING CHARGING/DISCHARGING, THE BATTERY SHOULD BE PLACED
INSIDE A FIRE PROOF/RETARDANT BAG AND ON A FIRE PROOF SURFACE
AWAY FROM OTHER COMBUSTIBLE OBJECTS.
Once charging has commenced, the charger will display
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. You can also view a variety of other information as detailed on
page 13.
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 dierent 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 0207.
