When power is applied, the charger always initializes to the last preset used for charging. If you altered
the charge settings for a preset at the charger (as described in “Changing a preset,” later in this manual),
those changes are retained when the charger is disconnected from power, and will be reapplied when the
charger is powered up again.
“Selecting a preset” and “Changing a preset,” in the next section, provide additional information.
Operating the charger
You operate the charger using the
MODE button
and
START/STOP
button on the right side of the
charger. This simple, effective, 2-button interface allows instant access to presets, preset parameters, as
well as starting and stopping charger operations.
MODE button:
enables you to view/select a preset, change preset parameters and display charging
data during charging.
START/STOP button:
enables you to start charging after you have selected a preset, and to stop or
cancel a charging session at any time. The
START/STOP button
also allows you to toggle back and
forth between Accurate and Faster Charge optimizations (applicable to LiPo and A123 battery packs
only).
Overview of button operations:
Following is an overview of all possible functions available using these buttons. These functions are
listed in the approximate order you might use to traverse the 10XC.
At start up,
press the MODE button
to access and scroll the Preset Menu and to view/select pre-
defined, named presets and their settings, one at a time. A preset is considered “selected” when its
name and settings are listed on the charger’s LCD.
At any time prior to starting a charge operation,
press and hold the MODE button
to access the
Main Menu options:
Choose Chg. Amps
,
Choose Chemistry
,
Show Help Screen
,
Exit
.
While watching the scrolling menu options, continue
holding the MODE button
, then, release it
only when you see the menu option you want. Now you may use the charger’s menu to alter
parameters of presets on-the-fly.
Note: Preset parameters are permanently saved the instant they are
changed.
When inside of Main Menu options,
press the MODE
button to change preset parameters.
When changes to preset parameters are complete,
press and hold the MODE button
to access the
Main Menu again. Then choose
Exit
to return to the Preset Menu.
Press the START/STOP
button to toggle back and forth between Accurate vs Faster Charge
optimization.
This feature available only when a LiPo or A123 balanced preset is selected.
Press and hold the START/STOP button
(for 1 second) to start charger operation or cancel/end a
charging session.
At any time while charge is in progress,
press the MODE button
to view real-time operating
