Introduction 5

E-EQ-HX1CHGROG-A HX1 Multi-Charger User’s Guide

Installation and Operation

Introduction

The life and capacity of a Lithium Ion battery can vary significantly depending on the discharge

current and the environment in which it is used. As with all batteries, expect to see a reduction in

the total number of operations a fully charged battery pack can deliver as it ages. Charging times

may increase but will not exceed four hours. Battery packs do not need to be fully discharged

between charge cycles.

Setup

• Ensure that the location you choose for the battery charger is well ventilated.

• The charger can be placed on a horizontal, hard surface or mounted vertically on a wall.

• Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet.

• Charger should be located in an area where it is not exposed to direct sunlight, rain, snow or

other liquids.

this event.

8 Placing the Battery Pack into the Charger

HX1 Multi-Charger User’s Guide E-EQ-HX1CHGROG-A

Battery Recalibration

LXE recommends recalibrating the HX1 battery packs once per month. The battery pack is an

intelligent design that keeps track of available capacity by monitoring the flow of the charge

within the battery. Since the analysis routine is conservative, under reporting of battery pack

capacity may occur. Over time, the results are cumulative. The more times a battery has been

charged, the greater the potential for under reporting.

Note: The HX1 Multi-Charger can display the number of charge cycles for the battery pack

since its last recalibration. Please see “Interpreting the LEDs and Displays”, later in

this chapter for more information.

How to: Recalibrate the HX1 Battery Pack

1. Insert the battery as described earlier in this section.

2. The LEDs for the charging pocket briefly illuminate yellow, red, green then the yellow. The

LED is illuminated solid yellow as the charging process begins.

3. Press and hold the Recalibrate button until the LED begins flashing yellow.

4. The display shows either ‘1c’ or ‘2c’ depending on the number of recalibration cycles the

Multii-Charger has determined necessary.

5. When the process is complete, the LED is illuminated green.

Interpreting the LEDs and Displays 9

E-EQ-HX1CHGROG-A HX1 Multi-Charger User’s Guide

Interpreting the LEDs and Displays

There are five LEDs on the Multi-Charger, one Power LED and one Status LED for each of the

four charging bays.

Power LED

The Power LED is illuminated solid green when power is supplied to the charger. If the LED

does not light when power is applied, check the power source. If the power source is good,

contact LXE Customer Support.

Status LED

There is one status LED for each of the four charging bays. The status LED indicates the activity

in the respective charging bay.

Status LED Indicates…

Solid Yellow

Battery is being charged

Flashing Yellow

Battery is being recalibrated

Solid Green

Battery has stopped charging and is ready for use

Solid Red

The charger has detected a fault condition

Off The bay is empty or the Multi-Charger is not connected to AC power

10 Interpreting the LEDs and Displays

HX1 Multi-Charger User’s Guide E-EQ-HX1CHGROG-A

Display

There is one display window for each of the four charging bays. The display gives additional

information on the status of the battery in the bay.

Display shows Indicates…

2 digit number

( 00 – 99 )

A two digit number is displayed for the following reasons:

• % Charge – During a normal charging cycle, the display

indicates the percentage of the charge in the battery from 00%

to 99%.

• Charge Cycle Counter – After momentarily pressing the

recalibration button, the display shows the number of times the

battery has been recharged in the Multi-Charger since its last

recalibration.

• Maximum Capacity – When the recalibrate button is held

down while inserting a battery, the display shows the

maximum charge potential in mAh.

Note: Since the capacity is a four digit number, the display

shows the first two digits for 2 seconds then the last 2

digits for two seconds.

1c or 2c

Either 1 (1c) or 2 (2c) recalibration cycles

Blank No battery is present

_ _

The charger was unable to establish communications with the battery.

This can be due to a damaged battery or dirty contacts. Inspect the

battery contacts and ensure they are not damaged. Clean battery

contacts (on the battery and charger) with a cotton swab and alcohol. If

the problem persists, contact LXE Customer Support.

Off The bay is empty or the Multi-Charger is not connected to AC power

FP, Fq or FL

The battery is not charging properly. Contact LXE Customer Service

for assistance.

Hi or Lo

The battery is above (Hi) or below (Lo) the temperature for charging.

After it reaches room temperature, the battery starts charging.

C

The charger has determined the “maximum capacity when full” register

in the battery is not valid. Place the battery into the recalibration cycle

(as described earlier in this section) to reset the register. The charger

selects the 2c recalibration mode.

Normal Operations 11

E-EQ-HX1CHGROG-A HX1 Multi-Charger User’s Guide

Normal Operations

The optimal operating temperature range for the HX1 Multi-Charger is between 32°F and 113°F

(0°C and 45°C). Best charging performance occurs at room temperature, 68ºF to 77ºF (20ºC to

25ºF). While charging, the charger and battery pack will generate enough heat to feel warm. This

is normal and does not indicate a problem. The charger has an internal cooling fan to dissipate

heat. Do not store the battery pack in direct sunlight or anywhere the battery pack cannot cool

down. If the battery pack is hot after removal from the computer, allow it to cool at room

temperature before placing it in the charger.

Charge times may increase significantly if the battery is warm or hot, since it takes the battery

pack longer to cool down while in the charger pocket. If the battery pack is hot from severe

environmental use and immediate recharging is necessary, place the battery pack in a cool air

stream or in a cool location until it is no longer warm to the touch before charging.

Do not place or store the HX1 Multi-Charger in hazardous locations.

Maintenance

Use a clean soft cloth to wipe any dirt, moisture or grease from the battery pack, contacts or the

charger. Battery contacts can be cleaned with a cotton swab and alcohol.

The fan guard may become plugged with dust and other foreign material. It is recommended that

the fan guard be cleaned monthly to remove and dust buildup.

Storage

Battery packs should be kept in a cool, dry place whenever possible. Do not store battery packs in

direct sunlight, on a metal surface, or anywhere the battery pack cannot cool down. Do not leave

the battery pack in a non-operating charger. The battery pack may discharge through the charger

rather than hold its charge.

Service

There are no user serviceable parts in the Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Pack or the HX1

Multi-Charger. Should your charger require service, contact LXE.

The programming port should not be used, except under the direction of LXE Customer Service.
