• Use a high quality power supply for input power source.
• Do not allow water, moisture, metal wires or other conductive material into the charger.
• Keep the charger away from children or pets at all times.
• Always be sure that the charger is properly configured for the correct battery type .
• Be sure that your lithium battery pack balance connector matches the multi-adapter type connected to the charger.
• Beware that the temperature of the charger shell & battery packs will increase during charge/discharge at high
power.
• Do not exceed the battery manufacturer's suggested maximum charge rates.
• Never charge batteries unattended.
• NEVER attempt to charge "non-rechargeable" cells.
• ACT charging mode should start with battery packs connected.
• Properly insulate and regularly inspect all connectors to eliminate the possibility of short circuit. Damage caused by
output short circuit is not covered by warranty.
• Do not open the case of the charger under any circumstances. Doing so will void the warranty.

General Setup & Notes
Before Charging/Discharging is started, Pls choose an appropriate AC/DC input power source. When charging high
voltage batteries at high current (charger output 150W) the AC/DC Power Supply should be 12V minimum with rating
of 160W or more, to ensure reliable performance. The X6-Plus allow you to use lower-rated power supplies reliably, but
that total charger output wattage will be limited accordingly.
1. Attach X6-Plus to an appropriate DC power supply.
2. Connect the Input Cables (Red+ & Black-) on left side of X6-Plus to the DC power supply. Then wait for the
initialization to complete and the "No Battery" message to be displayed..
3. Connect the output cables to the Output Port on the right side of X6-Plus first!! then connect the output cables to
y
our Battery Main wire Connector (in Series charging)
To perform a balance charge do the following steps..
4. Connect the Balance Multi-Adapter to the balance socket on the right side of X6-Plus
5. Connect your Lithium battery Balance Connector to the Balance Multi-Adapter.
Suggestion: ALWAYS USE THE BALANCER(s) WHEN CHARGING LITHIUM BASED PACKS FOR SAFETY!!
NOTE:
•Please make absolutely sure that you properly identify the type of battery you are charging, the capacity in mAh,
and the number of cells wired in series and the pack voltage !!
•Please consult the documentation or labels provided with your battery to determine the correct capacity setting. It is
very important to get this right, as the charger uses the capacity setting to determine nominal charge rate (amperage),
capacity protection and safety termination. Incorrect settings could damage the battery, or result in an incomplete
charge
•CAPACITY is selected in mAh. Selection is in increment/decrement of 100mAh. CURRENT is set in Ampere (divide
mAh by 1000 to get Amperage). For 2100mAh, 2.1A for 1C, and 4.2A for 2C and so on.
•After charging is finished, always disconnect the Battery main wire connectors from Output Cables set first, then
disconnect Output Cables set from charger.
•Be very careful to choose the correct voltage for the different types of battery. The following battery parameters are
for reference.
DEC/INC, Scroll though the parameter values for Battery type, Cell numbers, Battery
capacity, Charge/Discharge current, Operation mode. And turn the LCD page between Li**
total voltage & cell voltage.
START/ENTER, Confirm the setting and skip to next parameter, Start Charge/Discharge
ESC/STOP, Cancel the setting and exit to last parameter, Stop Charge/Discharge
Cursor indication: When the cursor flashes, DEC/INC can be used to set the parameter.
e.g. "2200" flashing, Use DEC/INC to scroll though the setting of capacity.
"Gray"means the cursor is flashing in this manual.
LiPo Normal CHG
6S 2200mAH 2.2A
Timer: When you start Charging or Discharging in any mode, an internal timer starts counting at the beginning of
these cycles and is displayed on the charge and discharge screens.
