Special features
Internal independent lithium battery balancer
The Charger has an integrated balancer connection for the included Balander
board (up to 6-cell lithium). It isn‘t necessary to connect an external
balancer for balance charging.
Balancing individual cells battery charging/discharging
During the process of discharging, the charger can monitor and balance each
cell of the battery individually. Error message will be indicated and the
process will be ended automatically if the voltage of any single one cell is
abnormal.
Adaptable to various type of lithium battery
Charger is adaptable to various types of Lithium batteries, such as Li-ion,
LiPo and LiFe series of batteries.
Fast and storage mode of lithium battery
Purposes to charge different battery types, „fast“ charge reduce the duration
of charging, whereas „store“ state can control the final voltage of your
battery, so as to store fo a long time and protect useful time of the battery.
Maximum safety
Delta-peak sensitivity: the automatic charge termination program based on the
principle of the Deltapeak voltage detection.
When the battery‘s voltage exceeds the threshold, the process will be
terminated automatically.
Automatic charging current limit
You can set up the upper limit of the charging current when charging your NiCd
or NiMh battery. It is useful for the NiMh battery of low impendance and
capacity in the „Auto“ charging mode.
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 be
terminated automatically when you set the maximum value.
**Temperatur monitoring with programmable cut-off ***
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 optional temperatur probe (Ord. No. 153057), which is not included in our package.
Processing time limit
You can also limit the maximum process time to avoid any possible defect.
Input power monitoring
To portect the car battery used as DC input power from being damaged, its voltage keeps being monitored. If it drops below the lower limit, the process will be ended automatically.
Data store/load
The maximum five batteries‘ data can be stored for users‘ convenience. You can keep the data pertaining to program setting of the battery of continuous charging or discharging. Users can call out these data at any time without any special program setting.
Cyclic charging / discharging

Using your charger for the first time
The X-Peak 80 BAL V2 is fitted with 2 power inputs which gives you the choice
of powering the unit from the household mains supply (220 V AC) or via 12 V
DC. The 12 V DC can be either a vehicle battery or a stabilised transformer
(11 – 18V).
Connect the charger to an input of your choice, if using 12 V pay particular
attention to the polarity.
The red crocodile clip must be connected to the plus pole (+) and the black
clip to the minus pole (-).
After connection the charger will display „Charge Discharge“ whilst a self
test is conducted. If an error is encountered, for example if the input
voltage is outside the allowed range of 11-15 V, a message will be displayed
and the buzzer will sound. Disconnect the power supply and rectify the fault.
Important notes!
-
Never connect both power inputs simultaneously as this will destroy the charger!
-
Make sure to use the correct charging programme (Lithium, NiMh, Lead etc.) for the respective battery! Attempting to charge a battery with a non-compatible charging programme can cause serious damage to the battery and charger. There is a risk of fire
or explosion! If you are not sure which charging programme to use for your battery, please contact the manufacturer of the battery or contact our customer service. -
The charger is capable of unbalanced charging of multi-cell lithium batteries under controlled conditions when the appropriate charging programme is selected. Unbalanced charging of multi-cell lithium batteries is at your own risk. We strongly advise against this and recommend that multi-cell lithium batteries are always charged balanced. Unbalanced charging can lead to cell voltage drift which can cause the battery to age more quickly and in the worst case can severely damage the battery. There is a risk of fire or explosion!
Battery packs to be charged or discharged are attached to the charger via 2
colour coded banana sockets using a good quality charging cable. Make sure
that the plus (+) pole of the battery is connected to the red socket on the
charger and that the minus (-) pole
of the battery is connected to the black socket of the charger.
When charging or discharging Lithium packs, always use the balancer function
of the charger. This will not only provide protection for your cells, but also
ensure maximum efficiency and long life.
To do so, you must connect both the charging cable and the balancer
plug/socket. Not doing this will result in the individual cells not being
protected and you will not be able to monitor the individual cell voltage in
the display.
Menu Structures
Having connected the charger to a power supply, the last settings used will be
displayed. If you are going to charge/discharge the same pack, no settings
need to be changed. The last used mode will be displayed.
If a different pack is to be charged/discharged the setting must be changed,
starting with the battery type. To do this, press the ‘Batt.Typ/Stop’ button
until the correct battery type flashes in the display.
This menu option is an endless loop.
The displayed battery type is confirmed by pressing the ‚Start/Enter‘ button.
If you wish, each key press is confirmed by a brief acoustic signal.
Pressing the ’Start/Enter’ button allows the user to access the various
parameters which can be changed, for example the charging current. The ’Status
’ buttons are used to change the values.
Once a battery pack has been connected, the selected operation can be started
by pressing the ’Start/Enter’ button for 3 seconds. Providing that the battery
is not damaged and correctly connected, the selected
operation will begin. If a problem is encountered, a warning bleep will sound
and a warning message displayed. When operationing the charger will display
the relevant information.
The following program flow chart shows the complete menu structure of the
X-Peak 80 BAL V2:
Warning
As default this charger will be set to typical user settings when it is
connected to a 12 V battery for the first time. The screen displays the
following information in sequence and the user can change the parameter on
each screen.
If you need to alter the parameter value in the program, press „Start/Enter“
key to make it blink then change the value with „ Status -“ or „Status + “
key. The value will be stored by pressing „Start/Enter“ key once
Specification of the parameters
The screen shows the nominal voltage of Lithium battery.There are three kinds
of Lithium battery:
LiFe = 3,3 V; LiIo = 3,6 V; LiPo = 3,7 V
This is very important so you have to check the battery carefully and set it
up correctly. If it is different from correct value the battery can explode
during charge process.
To avoid from erroneous setting by users. The X-Peak 80 BAL V2 detects the
cell count of Lithium battery automatically at the beginning of charge or
discharge process. But deeply discharged battery can be perceived incorrectly.
To avoid this error, the time can bye set to verify the cell count by the
processor. Normally, 15 seconds are enough to detect the cell count correctly.
You need to extend the time term limit for the battery of large capacity. But
the charge or discharge process can may come to an end within the time term
because of the time limit decided by the wrong count if you set too long time
limit for the battery of small capacity. This may cause fatal error. You have
to extend the time term if the processor detect the cell count incorrctly at
the beginning of charge or discharge process. Otherwise, default value is
recommended to use.
This shows the trigger voltage for automatic charge termination of NiMH and
NiCd battery. The valid value ranges from 5 to 20 mV per cell. Setting the
trigger voltage higher brings a danger of overcharging; whereas setting it
lower brings a possibility of premature termination. Please refer to the
techincal specification of the battery. (NiCd default: 12 mV, NiMH default: 7
mV).
On the left side of the charger is a 3-pin port used as a connection for a
temperature sensor (not included). If the screen displays temperature, you can
use the optional temperature probe to connect to the surface of the battery.
The USB function is not available for this charger.
The maximum temperature of the battery can be set during the charge process.
The process will be terminated automatically to protect battery once the
temperature of battery reaches this values.
This feature is accomplished through temperature probe (optional, not
supplied).
Attention!
Plug the temperature sensor cable (not supplied) only as shown. Plug the cable
not reverse polarity. Your charger or the temperature sensor can be damaged.
The battery become warm after cyclec of charge/discharge process. The program
will insert a time delay after each charge/discharge process to allow the
battery enough time to cool down before beginning next cyle of charge/
discharge process. The valid value ranges from 1 to 60 minutes.
When the charge process starts, the integral safety timer starts to run
simultaneously. If error detected or the termination circuit can not detect
whether the battery is fully charged or not, this unit is programmed to
prevent overcharging. Please refer to the below statement to calculate the
timer you set.
This program provides maximum capacity protection function. If the Delta peak
voltage can not be detected or the saftey timer times out, the charge process
will stopp automatically, when the battery reaches the user-set maximum charge
capacity.
The beep to confirm userts operation sounds every time a button is pressed.
The beep or melody sounds at various times during operation to confirm
different mode change.
These functions can be switched on or off.
This funktion monitors the voltage of the input battery used to power this
charger.
If the voltage is lower than user-set value, the program will end forcibly to
protect the input battery.
Safety Timer Calculations
When charging NiCd or NiMH batteries, divide the battery‘s rated capacity
(mAh) by the charge current (A). And divide the result by 11.9.
For example:
- 1.000 mAh Capacity / 1,2 A Current / Safety timer setting, divided by 11,9 = 70 minutes
- 2.000 mAh Capacity / 2,0 A Current / Safety timer setting, divided by 11,9 = 84 minutes
- 3.300 mAh Capacity / 3,3 A Current / Safety timer setting, divided by 11,9 = 92 minutes
