Note: The module is powered from the input side, so input voltage must be present for the unit to operate.
If you have a handheld, high-lumen flashlight likely powered by an 18650 battery, you have this version. The official manufacturer's documentation is rarely included, but all the information you need is here in a structured format.
Used in discharge mode to define how long to force discharge after the voltage hits the dn limit. xycd60 manual
The XY-CD60 manual (hosted on Scribd) notes its popularity in:
: Although the XY‑CD60 can measure up to 60 V, it is designed for 48 V systems (maximum) because a fully charged 48 V lead‑acid battery can reach approximately 60 V. For 60 V systems, consider the XY‑CD60L variant or an alternative module.
The device automatically cuts off charging when the battery reaches its full voltage (overcharge protection) and disconnects the load when the battery’s voltage drops too low (over‑discharge protection). Typical applications include solar storage systems, lead‑acid and lithium‑ion batteries for RVs and boats, off‑grid power systems, automotive and marine batteries, DIY electronics projects, and industrial control panels. Used in discharge mode to define how long
Always ensure the input voltage matches the battery's requirements. The module is a switch, not a buck/boost converter.
Based on real user issues and the missing pages of many XYCD60 manuals, here is a dedicated troubleshooting table:
This prevents electrolyte boil-off in lead-acid batteries or cell damage in lithium packs. P-2 (Discharging Mode): The relay turns (Upper Limit), allowing the load to run. The relay turns The device automatically cuts off charging when the
is a dual-mode battery controller designed to manage both charging and discharging for DC batteries between 6V and 60V. It functions as an automated relay switch, disconnecting your charger or load based on custom voltage limits you set, which helps prevent overcharging and deep discharging. Core Operating Modes

A: This is usually due to voltage fluctuations at the threshold. Increase the difference between your UP and dn settings to create a larger hysterisis band.
If your XYCD60 is a small, green or blue circuit board with an LCD display, you have a different device entirely.
You can set a delay (0-999 seconds) between cycles, which is useful for allowing batteries to stabilize or "rest" between charge and discharge phases.
