Introduction 5
E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B HX2 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. When the battery
reaches end-of-life, it must be replaced.
Charging times may increase but will not exceed four hours for the Standard battery packs and
eight hours for the Extended battery packs. Battery packs do not need to be fully discharged
between charge cycles.
Analyzing times may increase but will not exceed 16 hours for the Standard battery packs and 32
hours for the Extended battery pack. Minimum analysis time is 8.5 hours. Typical analysis time is
approximately 12 hours for the Standard battery pack and 24 hours for the Extended battery pack.
Normal Operations
The optimal operating temperature range for the HX2 Multi-Charger is between 50°F and 104°F
(10°C and 40°C). While charging, the charger and battery pack will generate enough heat to feel
warm. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. 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 mobile device, 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 battery well. 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.
When a battery is placed in a charging pocket, the multi-charger begins charging the battery.
There is a slight delay while the multi-charger evaluates the condition of the battery (ambient
temperature, remaining charge, etc.) before charging begins.
Do not place, store or use the HX2 Multi-Charger in hazardous locations.
6 Setup
HX2 Multi-Charger User’s Guide E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B

Charging a Battery 7
E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B HX2 Multi-Charger User’s Guide
Orienting and Inserting the Battery Pack
Caution!
It is important that battery packs are inserted into the charging/analyzing pocket
correctly. Inserting the battery incorrectly could result in damage to the battery pack
or the charger/analyzer.
When preparing the battery pack for insertion into an HX2 multi-charger pocket, hold the battery
with the HX2 cable connect interface up and the battery charging contacts in line with the
charging contacts in the charging pocket.
The alignment ribs will line up with the rib notches. Both the standard battery pack and extended
battery packs fit in all pockets.
Caution!
Do not “slam” the battery pack into the
charging or analyze/charge pocket.
Damage may result.
Figure 5 Insert Battery in Charging Pocket
Place the battery pack into the battery charging pocket, lining up the rib notches on the battery and
the pocket. Firmly press the battery down into the charging pocket until it is fully inserted.
The battery alignment ribs fit snugly in both rib notches on either side of the battery charging
pocket. If they do not, remove the battery and turn it around, keeping the HX2 cable interface
uppermost, until the alignment ribs fit correctly in the charging pocket.
Charging a Battery
The HX2 Multi-Charger indicates the status of a battery pack in the charging pocket with an LED
located below each pocket. There are six charging pockets available that can hold and charge the
Standard and the Extended battery pack.
8 Using the Analyze / Charge Pocket
HX2 Multi-Charger User’s Guide E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B
Using the Analyze / Charge Pocket
The analyze/charge pocket is the one closest to the HX2 Multi-charger label and the Analyze
dome switch. The analyze/charge pocket can be used to:
• Charge a standard battery pack in less than four hours.
• Charge an Extended battery pack in less than 8 hours.
• Analyze a standard battery pack, ending with the battery pack fully charged, in less than
twelve hours.
• Analyze an extended battery pack, ending with the battery pack fully charged, in less than
32 hours.
Begin Analyzing
Press the Analyze dome switch within 15 seconds of inserting the battery in the Analyze pocket to
start the Analyze (Charge – Discharge – Charge) process. See figure titled “Analyzer LED
Location”.
If the analyze dome switch is not pressed within 15 seconds, the battery will be charged, but not
analyzed.
The Analyze progress LEDs indicate the battery capacity as a percent of the original value.
When the Analyze dome switch has been pressed, the Analyze LED will illuminate Red to
indicate that the battery testing has started. As the analysis proceeds and during the discharge
activity, the four progress LEDs at the side of the battery pocket will illuminate in sequence to
indicate the capacity of the battery . The Analyze LED is Green when the process is finished. The
battery is then ready for use provided the capacity is acceptable.

• New battery pack, same
result.
• Push battery pack in firmly. Do not
"slam" the battery pack into the
battery well.
• Replace battery pack.
• Contact LXE for replacement
options.
12
HX2 Multi-Charger User’s Guide E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B
Problem Cause Solution
When you first put a fully
charged battery pack in the
battery well, the RED LED
comes on, indicating the battery
pack is charging.
During the first few minutes, the
charger checks the battery pack
for correct voltage and charge
state. During this time the LED
is RED and is continuously ON.
After charging is complete, the
LED is GREEN.
There is nothing wrong with the battery
pack or charger.
Current could not be sourced
through the battery pack due to
age, exhaustion or damage to
the cell(s). The battery pack
does not communicate with the
charger.
OR
Contact LXE for battery pack
replacement options.
The battery pack voltage has not
reached 6.0V within 30 minutes
and the charger has timed out.
OR
Contact LXE for battery pack
replacement options.
LED is flashing RED at any
station.
The charger’s timeout period
has expired.
Make sure that the battery pack
temperature is within specification and
retry charging. If problem repeats,
contact LXE for battery pack replacement
options.
Solid YELLOW LED when
battery pack is inserted in the
charger.
The battery pack is too hot or
too cold to charge.
Remove battery pack from the charger
and allow it to adjust to room
temperature.
Note: If the battery pack is left in the
charger, it will cool down or warm to a
temperature upon which the charger will
begin the charge cycle. However,
depending on the temperature of the
battery, it may take 2-3 hours to adjust.
The cool-down or warm-up of a battery
pack is much quicker if the battery is not
in the battery pocket.
