Discharging
The X1 Pro discharging functions have two specic purposes:
• Refreshing the capacity of a Nickel-based battery that has lost
capacity over time (NiMH or NiCd).
• Reducing the voltage of a Lithium battery for safe storage.
LITHIUM CHEMISTRY BATTERY PACKS SHOULD
ONLY BE DISCHARGED TO THEIR MINIMUM SAFE
VOLTAGE, NO LOWER. DEEP DISCHARGING A
LITHIUM CELL WILL DO PERMANENT DAMAGE.
REFER TO THE STANDARD BATTERY PARAMETERS
TABLE ON PAGE 7 OF THIS MANUAL FOR MINIMUM
DISCHARGE VOLTAGES.
LiPo Charge/Discharge Cycling
Lithium batteries are known to reach full capacity after a break-in
period of about 10 charge/discharge cycles. We do not recom-
mend you use the X1 Pro Charger to do this, normal use and
recharging will achieve the same results. If you wish to perform
a Lithium break-in on the bench with the X1 Pro, discharging to
minimum acceptable voltages and performing a balance charge
at 1C maximum rate is recommended. If you choose to break in
your Lithium batteries under normal use, charging at only 1C for
the rst ten cycles will help ensure full performance and service
life from your Lithium cells.
