AC/DC-Input, Professional
Balance Charger, Discharger, Multicharger

Warnings and Safety Notes

· The allowable AC input voltage is 100 - 240V AC
· The allowable DC input voltage is 11-18V DC.
· Keep the charger away from dust, damp, rain, heat,
direct sunlight and excessive vibration.
· If the charger is dropped or suffers any type of impact,
it should be inspected by an authorized service station
before using it again.
· This charger and the battery should be put on a
heat-resistant, non-flammable and non-conductive
surface.
· Never place a charger on a car seat, carpet or similar
surface. Keep all flammable volatile materials away
from the 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 can be damaged.
· Fire or explosion can occur due to overcharging.
· To avoid a short circuit between the charge lead,
always connect the charge cable to the charger first,
then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence when
disconnecting.
· Never attempt to charge or discharge the following
types of batteries:
- A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a
protection circuit

When adjusting your X1 RED 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.

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 firm and
secure?
· Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any
point in the circuit.
