For your convenience, the X4 AC Plus has a data storage and load program that can 

store up to five preset battery charge or discharge configurations. You can recall these 

settings when charging or discharging without having to setup the program again. To 

get to the save data screen press the 

BATT. TYPE/ STOP

 button until you see the 

Save Data screen. Press the 

START/ENTER

 key to modify the menu, and use the 

INC

 

or 

DEC

 to change the parameters.

Save Data Program

Setting of the parameters in the first screen will not affect the 

charge and discharge process. It is only for identifying the 

specification of the battery you will create a preset for.  In this 

example it is a NiMH battery pack with 12 cells and a capacity 

of 3000mAh. When you have completed this process press 

and hold the 

START/ENTER 

key for 3 seconds to enter the 

charge/discharge setup screen. 

Set up the charge current in the manual mode, or the current 

limit in the auto mode. Press the 

INC

 and 

DEC

 key simultane-

ously to make the current field blink to switch the charge 

mode.

Set up the discharge current and cutoff voltage.

Set up the charge/ discharge sequence and cycle number.

Once you have completed the setup procedures press and 

hold the 

START/ENTER

 key for 3 seconds to save the data.

Load Data Program

This program is designed to load the data stored in the “save data” program. To get to 

the save data screen press the 

BATT. TYPE/ STOP

 button until you see the Load Data 

screen Press the 

START/ENTER

 key to make the data field blink and press the 

INC 

or 

DEC 

keys for at least 3 seconds to load the data.

Choose the data number you want to call back. The data you 

want to call back will be displayed.

Load the data.

The X4 AC Plus incorporates a variety of systems to verify the various 

charge/discharge processes and the overall state of the electronics. In case of an error, 

the charger will emit an audible alarm and the screen will display the cause of the error. 

See the following description of the errors and their possible causes. 

Incorrect polarity connected.

Battery connection is interrupted.

Short circuit on the battery connection.

Incorrect input voltage.

The voltage of the battery pack has been incorrectly set.

The charger has malfunctioned for some reason. Contact the 

Hitec RCD USA customer service department immediately. 

The voltage is lower than which is set, check the number of 

cells in the battery pack.

The voltage is higher than which is set, check the number of 

cells in the battery pack.

The voltage of one cell in the battery pack is too low, check the 

voltage of each cell.

The voltage of one cell in the battery pack is too high, check 

the voltage of each cell.

An improper connection to the battery is detected, check the 

connectors to insure they are properly connected.

The internal temperature of the charger is too high. Allow it to 

cool down by discontinuing use. 

The processor cannot control the output current, take corrective 

action immediately or contact the Hitec RCD USA customer 

service department.
