Only X20V Team smart batteries feature a Bluetooth interface, these are the only batteries support by the app.
The smart charger (PLGS2012 A1) is 100% compatible with all X20V Team batteries.
Yes, if you are using a smart charger, you can change the charging settings for all X20V Team batteries, see modes for details.
When disconnecting the smart charger from the power, only the Wifi settings are saved - no other settings are stored.
Different charging modes exist to serve different purposes. Each mode adjusts the charging current (how fast it charges) depending on whether you want to prioritize charging speed, battery lifespan, or energy efficiency.
If you're using a a smart charger, this shows the current being used to charge the battery. Temperature and charging status of the cells can affect this value.
The charger displays the current temperature in Celsius (°C).
To reset the smart charger (PLGS2012 A1)
Hold down “ECO” and “60%” buttons together for five seconds.
The charging current can be manually changed if you are using a smart charger. It's important to make sure the setting you apply doesn't exceed the battery's maximum permitted current. The charger will only apply the updated value if the battery supports it.
Balance mode is the most balanced of the modes: It charges the battery quickly, while also helping preserve its overall lifespan.
ECO mode charges the battery slowly. Unlike the fast charging Performance mode, this mode increases the overall lifespan of the battery.
Performance mode charges your battery as quickly as possible.
This allows you to manually configure the continuous charging current.
Charging a battery to 60% is the best way to prepare it for long-term storage (for example, over the winter).
This helps to:
Prevent the battery from losing its charge over time (self-discharging).
When you select this mode on your smart charger, it will automatically get the battery to a 60% charge level.
If your battery is full, the charger will slowly and safely discharge it down to 60%. This can take a long time. For example, a fully charged 4Ah battery could take up to 32 hours to reach this level.
If your battery is empty or low, the charger will charge it up to 60%.
Not sure which smart battery is which? In the app, tap Identify Battery. The lights on the battery you've selected will then flash for 20 seconds, so you can easily find it.
This message usually means one of two things:
*There is no battery in the charger.
*The battery is already fully charged.
The four operating modes serve different purposes. The modes available are Performance, Balance, ECO and Expert. Depending on your selection, the smart battery adjusts the cut-off voltage and the maximum continuous operating current.
Choose Balance mode for your smart battery for an ideal compromise. You'll get plenty of power to get the job done, and the battery will last a long time.
ECO mode is designed to help your smart battery last for many more recharges over its lifetime. To do this, it runs the tool and stops sooner than other modes. While you get less performance on each use, this gentle approach extends the battery lifespan.
*Cut off voltage set 3V per cell
If your tool isn't running properly or keeps cutting out, it's likely a power issue. Here’s what to check in order:
1. Charge the Battery
The simplest cause is a low battery. Make sure it's fully charged before trying anything else.
2. Increase the Power Setting
The tool might be set to a power level that's too low for the job you're doing.
If you're in a mode like ECO or Balance, switch to a more powerful option like Performance Mode.
If you're using Expert Mode, open the app and raise the power level yourself.
3. Contact Support
If you have tried the steps above and the tool still isn't working, it's time to contact the Service Centre for help.
You can find their contact details in the user manual. The manual is located in the app (in the "Instructions" section for your tool) or can be downloaded from www.lidl-service.com.
Performance mode provides you with the maximum power per battery charge. The cut-off voltage is set at 2.5 V per cell and the maximum continuous discharge current limited to 50 A (Smart Battery PAPS204 A1) or 100 A (Smart Battery PAPS208 A1).
With Expert Mode, you’re in the driver’s seat. You can manually adjust your battery’s power output to perfectly match your project—up to 50A for the PAPS 204 A1 or a massive 100A for the PAPS 208 A1. Plus, you can choose exactly when the battery powers down (between 2.5V and 3.4V) to help keep your cells healthy and lasting longer.
To protect itself, your battery will automatically charge slower when it's too hot or too cold.This is a normal safety feature to keep it healthy.
To guarantee the quality of our products, every battery undergoes testing at the factory. We check the charging, discharging, and Bluetooth functions. This quality control process is why your smart battery will arrive with a minimal amount of operating time already recorded—it’s a sign that your new battery has passed our inspection.
The charging switch lets you to stop the charging process. The battery will only continue charging when you switch it back on.
The cut-off voltage is the voltage at which the smart battery will stop discharging.
A higher cut-off voltage improves the lifespan of your battery, but also reduces the operating time per charge. A lower cut-off voltages increases the operating time per charge.
The smart charger always displays the current cell temperature of the connected smart battery. If you see "0°C," no battery or a non-smart battery is connected.
The time shown is an estimate based on the power being used at that moment. Using the tool requires power, which makes the estimate go down. When the tool is off, it uses no power, so the estimate goes back up.
You can set up custom notifications for each of your smart X20V Team devices. First, make sure the device is connected within the app. From there, go to the Push Notifications settings and select which alerts you would like to receive.
This is the maximum current you can use to the charge each battery type.
E.G.
* 2Ah battery, charge at maximum current of 3.8A.
If you've received this notification if the smart battery is overheating and needs to be protected.
