This is the Hitec X1+ AC Plus Single Port AC/DC Multi-Charger. The Hitec X1 AC Plus battery charger goes everywhere you go. Capable of charging all battery types, this charger is the affordable and portable answer to keeping your batteries charged and ready for action. The 50-watt X1 AC Plus will charge all your batteries at rates from 0.1 to 6 amps, using either 11-18V DC or 100-240V AC power sources. Designed to charge NiMH, NiCd, LiPo, LiFe, Li-Ion and Lead-based batteries, the X1 AC Plus is the perfect charging solution for your RC hobby. Drivers and pilots alike will appreciate its price and dependability.

Features:
  • Optimized Operating Software: The X1 "auto" function sets the charge and discharge current for you automatically, preventing overcharging which can damage your battery. In the event of an error, the X1 instantly disconnects the circuit and sounds an alarm once. This feature can be set by the user and controlled through the two-way link for maximum safety and minimizes these type of problems.
  • Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer: The X1 features a built-in a cell voltage balancer so you don’t need to fuss with external balancers while charging.
  • Balancing Individual Cells Battery Discharging: The X1 also monitors and balances each cell in the pack individually while discharging. If the voltage of any single cell is abnormal, the X1 will display an error message and the process will end automatically.
  • Adaptable To Various Types Of Lithium Batteries: The X1 will charge and discharge a variety of Lithium batteries, such as Li-ion, LiPo and LiFe type batteries.
  • Fast and Storage Mode Of Lithium Batteries: The X1 features two styles of charging. "Fast" charge reduces the charge duration while "Store" controls the final voltage of your battery, to optimize your packs for long term storage and maximum lifespan.
  • Maximum Safety: The delta-peak voltage detection program ends the charge cycle whenever a battery's voltage exceeds the set threshold.
  • Automatic Charging Current Limit: Charging current can set by the user when charging NiCd or NiMH batteries. The 'AUTO' charging mode, however, is recommended when charging NiMH batteries with low impedance and capacity.
  • Capacity and Temperature Limits: The charge process will terminate if either the charging capacity or battery temperature exceeds the limit set by the user. Temperature function requires an optional temperature probe, which is not included with the X1.
  • Processing Time Limit: Protect your battery by setting a maximum time limit for charging and discharging.
  • Input Power Monitoring: The X1's input voltage is monitored to protect the battery from becoming damaged. The process ends automatically if it drops below the limit.
  • Data Store/Load: A maximum of five setting profiles can be stored for your convenience. The X1 will store the data pertaining to a program's settings and you can call up data at anytime.
  • Cyclic Charging/Discharging: A battery can be cycled 1 to 5 times. This process is good for refreshing and balancing your battery.

I've had this charger for 6 months. It's easy to use and affordable. The only problem is that the cooling fan stopped working. The charger still works fine and it doesn't get too hot even without the fan.

This is definitely the charger you want. Most of these multi-chargers seem to be almost exactly the same. All the LCD screens look alike, and they all function the same. I was using an Overlander RC-6S DC charger, and I had to charge up a 12v lawn tractor battery to run it. I could only charge maybe 4 lipos before the battery would run out.

For way less than what I paid for that setup, I just went ahead and bought this Hitec X1+. Now I can charge anytime. This charger seems very well built for the price. The fan isn't very loud and sounds normal. The buttons feel solid and it's easy to operate.

It didn't come with many useful charging leads. Only a banana to Tamiya and banana to bare (but tinned) wires. I already have all the charging leads I need, but be aware of this.

For the money this is probably the best charger you can get.

Hitec X1+ AC Plus Single Port AC/DC Multi-Charger (6S/6A/50W)
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and features of this charger for the price! I bought this simply for the price point and the versatility of being able to charge my NiCd's for my starter box, my NiMH's for my rx packs, and even as a backup for my LiPo's. For the price you can't ask it to do much more, and it works great! The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 instead of a full 5 are for two reasons: Number one, you can only discharge at 1A (but for the money, I get it). Number two (the main reason for the docking of a star), when you "save" a custom program for a battery, I wish it would let you choose different parameters for charge AND discharge, and not lump it together. Example: If I use some of the built in safety features such as the Shut Down Timer, I need it to shut down a lot earlier when charging at 5A or 6A versus discharging at 1A. But once you set the safety for say 40 mins for charging, it uses the same parameter for discharging (which in reality could take almost 2 hours for the same battery, yet the safety kills the discharge at the same 40 min mark). Granted you can adjust everything on the fly, so in the end it all works, but they were so close to perfection with just a small adjustment to the software. I would absolutely buy this again though, so in the end its still a great charger in my opinion. Oh, don't toss that manual aside lol :) With only 4 buttons, there are certain functions that require you to "Long Press" a button to complete certain tasks etc.

This is a great charger. But I wished I had bought a 4 battery charger instead. I'm going to buy the hitec 4 battery charger anyways. ( I thought I was saving money at the time)

I've had this charger for a few months now. It has charged and balanced all of the batteries I have. It's affordable and works great for the price. It has all the plugs needed to get charging. I would recommend this product for anybody else looking for a charger. It is easy to use and if I need another charger this would be the one I would get

Awesome charger! Since this is my first charger I don't have much to compare to, but it has worked very well for several 2S and 3S Lipo packs I've been charging. It does not overheat and my more R/C-savvy friend uses it all the time since it's much easier to travel with than his.

Just got this charger and first impressions are good. It was a little hard to get use to but thats because I don't read manuals. Its capable of charging lithium ion batteries which my ouher charger couldn't do. It is very slow on discharging but that was to be expected. Overall I'm very happy with this charger.

Хорошая зарядка, всё интуитивно понятно, все свои функции выполняет на 100%. Немного шумновата.
