X1 MF

Optimized Operating Software
The Hitec X1 MF features an AUTO function that automatically adjusts the
current during charging or discharging operations. Especially for lithium
batteries, it can prevent overcharging which may lead to an explosion due
to improper parameters set by the user. The X1 MF will disconnect the
circuit automatically and produce an audible alarm upon detection of
abnormal voltage or current loads. The X1 MF is designed to increase
operator safety by monitoring the voltage and current activity throughout
the charge or discharge processes.

Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer
The Hitec X1 MF employs an individual cell voltage balancer. It isn't neces-
sary to connect a third party balancer for balance charging, simply use the
included Universal Balancing Board when connecting Lithium packs.

Balancing of Individual Lithium Cells
The Hitec X1 MF can monitor and balance each cell individually while
charging or discharging the battery. Error messages will be displayed on
the LCD screen and the process will be terminated automatically if the
voltage of any single cell is abnormal.

Accommodates Various Types of Lithium Batteries
The Hitec X1 MF is adaptable to various types of lithium batteries, such as
LiPo, LiIon and the new LiFe series of batteries.

Fast and Storage Modes for Lithium Batteries
The X1 MF also features Fast and Storage modes for lithium charging.
Fast mode reduces the overall charge time for quick turnaround at the field
or track, keeping in mind that standard charging will result in a more
complete charge at full capacity. Storage Mode allows for safe, longer
term storage of lithium batteries. Storing LiPos at full charge can increase
the probability of cell damage and pack “puffing.”

Cyclic Charging/Discharging
Continuous charge>discharge or discharge>charge functions are
available to refresh or restore NiCd and NiMH battery capacity and perfor-
mance. These cycles can be set to automatically repeat from 1 to 5 times.
