Charge Mode
The Analyzer X3 and X6 applies two types of charge algorithms for the two types of chemistries.
For Nickel based battery chemistries, a constant current of 1C (changeable with software option) is applied until the battery voltage peaks and descends negative. A top off current or 0.2C is then applied for 30 minutes to bring the total charge to 100%.
Lithium batteries are charged with a different algorithm. The Analyzer X3 and X6 applies a constant current of 1C until the battery pack voltage equals between 4.1 and 4.2 Volts (the exact voltage depends on the pack manufacturer’s specification). Upon reaching the predetermined voltage, the voltage is then held constant allowing the current to decrease to C/11.
The rate at which the battery is charging is called a C rate. The (C) rate is the charging current divided by the Capacity of the battery . For example: the capacity of a battery is 1200maH and the charge current is 1200 mA, than (C) rate is 1(C). If the charge current is reduced to 120 mA, then the C rate is 0.1C.

Understanding the Analyzer X3’s and X6’s Adapter CUP
The “Adapter Cup” allow different batteries to be serviced by the Analyzer X3 and X6. Each “Adapter Cup” is made for a specific battery model. There are 5 memory locations (data profile locations) within each “Adapter Cup”. The first four profiles store
The fifth profile location is used for a user defined battery type or the same OEM model. To invoke this location and store data, use the “Learn Mode”. See the Section on “Learn Mode” in order to enter data.
