Built on the
original Cellpro 10s charger technology and feature set,
the ALL NEW Cellpro 10XP is designed to provide a
whopping 15A max current output, and 600W of power
(rated @30V DC input when charging a 10s Li battery) -
all without increasing the size from the original
product, and available at an extremely competitive
price. At right around $.25 per watt, you will be
hard-pressed to find a safer, faster, more-complete
solution to meet your charging needs in the 600W class.
Supporting manual charge currents up to 15A or AUTO
Charge rates (1.0C, 2.0C, and 3.0C), the CP10XP is
capable of safely charging one or two lithium battery
packs. Add to this new features like Multi-Chemistry
support (the CP10XP can charge Li, A123 (LiFePO4), NiCd,
NiMH, and Pb battery types), Auto charge or discharge to
storage levels (Li only), 10 user-configurable presets,
free Charge Control Software (CCS), and you really start
to get an idea of how much value is packed into this
U.S.-designed and supported charger.
As a lithium battery charger, the CP10XP still maintains the key aspects
of the original 10s in that it is literally a plug and
play device. After connecting the batteries to the
charger, charging commences with the press of a button.
The charger will always remember the last-used preset.
But leave it up to FMA Direct to come up with clever,
intuitive ways to support multiple chemistries.
Out-of-the-box, the Cellpro 10XP is ready to handle
virtually any type of battery available. Chemistries are
assigned to user presets. Just select a preset, connect
the battery, and press the START button. Chemistries,
cell count, and current can also be changed at the
charger "on the fly". If using the free CCS (requires
FUIM2 or FUIM3 PC USB interface), full access to
available preset parameters are easily adjustable
including preset names, selection for multiple canned
fuel tables (to improve the accuracy of AUTO charge mode
for your battery types), an more!
Because it is a Cellpro, it is designed to be safe first and foremost. It
is virtually impossible to damage batteries with the
Cellpro 10XP charger. It will not let you make a
mistake. It must see all the cells in a Lithium pack and
the sum of the cell voltages must equal the total pack
voltage. It is ideal for charging one or two LiPo, LiIon,
or A123 type batteries. When two packs are connected to
the 10XP, it automatically interconnects them in series
internally inside of the charger. It essentially "sees"
all the individual cells as one pack of cells. It can
handle 1s-5s on either or both balance charge ports, or
it can handle up to a 10s battery pack using both ports.
To achieve the full 15A max output current, connect both
the balance connectors and the main leads from the
pack(s) to the banana jacks.* While the Cellpro 10XP can
handle charging two packs of different capacities or
charge states, it is mainly intended to support 2 pack
charging when the packs are the same or similar capacity
and state of charge, such as 2 x 4s packs which are
wired together in series or parallel during operation in
an electric aircraft.
Last, but not least, the new Cellpro 10XP also
supports XH MODE wiring. This feature originally
became available in the Cellpro PowerLab 8 Battery
Workstation. By default, the CP10XP is set up to
work on the original FMA wiring standard. But if the
wiring mode is switched to XH MODE, the charger will
work with batteries including the ever-popular JST
XH or EH balance connectors and wiring scheme. By
switching the CP10XP over to XH MODE, you can easily
interconnect the charger to your favorite standard
or parallel adapters. This involves retrofitting
(replacing) the JST XH/EH balance wire pigtail
coming from the standard or parallel adapter with
the 6 pin Cellpro battery pigtails (CPBP6P-10)
described above. XH MODE is also covered extensively
in the available user's guide.
* Note - the Cellpro 10XP charger no longer
supports balance-wire-only charging and; therefore,
no longer requires the "plug blocker" that came with
the original Cellpro 10s charger.
