INTRODUCTION CHARGER LAYOUT The Hitec X4 AC Plus allows you to charge up to four different batteries simultaneously. The charger will automatically charge all 4 batteries at a time to their maximum capacity. Additionally the batteries being charged do not need to have the same configuration or the same chemistry. Therefore you can connect any one of a NiMH/NiCD/LiPo/LiFe battery into any of the charging ports. This eliminates the time consuming efforts of charging all your batteries separately.

WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION DEFAULT USER PREFERENCES SETUP Discharging The main purpose of discharging a battery is to clean the residual capacity of the battery or to reduce the battery’s voltage to a defined level. It is critical that the same attention be paid to the discharging process as to the charging process. The final discharge voltage should be set correctly to avoid deep discharging. Lithium batteries cannot be discharged to voltage lower than the minimum voltage for the cell type.
