3. Select the proper number of cells that you will be charging, either 3 or 4 cells.
4. Locate the safety charge lead on the battery pack. The charge lead of a 3-cell Li-Po battery will plug
into the smaller 4-pin port on the bottom left of the charger. A 4-cell pack will need to plug into the
5-pin port on the bottom right of the charger. Once the battery is properly plugged into the correct
port, it will beep 3 times if it is a 3-cell, and four times if it is a 4-cell pack. Once this is done, proceed
to charge the battery pack.
5. Push the start button to begin the charging process. Once this is done, the charger will make an
audible beep that matches the cell count, and then the red (charge) LED will begin to flash. Do not
adjust the current once the charger has begun to charge.
Note: At times, the green LED may also flash during the charging process, indicating that the charger
is balancing one or more of the cells at the same time it is charging the battery pack. When this
is occurring, the red and green LEDs will both be flashing. It will not always be necessary for the
cells to be balanced.
6. When the battery pack is fully charged, you will hear an audible beep for about 3 seconds, and the
green LED will be solid. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion.
Failure to do so could cause a fire.
Warning: Failure to use the proper charger for a Li-Po battery can result in serious damage, and if left
charging long enough, will cause a fire. ALWAYS use caution when charging Li-Po batteries.
Your Habu BNF comes with a DC balancing charger and 4S Li-Po battery. You must charge the included
Li-Po battery pack with a Li-Po specific charger only (such as the included charger). Never leave the battery
and charger unattended during the charge process. Failure to follow the instructions properly could result in
a fire. When charging, make certain the battery is on a heat-resistant surface. It is recommended to charge
the battery pack while assembling the aircraft. The flight battery will be required to confirm proper aircraft
operation in future steps.

Battery Pack
The E-flite 4S Li-Po battery pack features a balancing lead that allows you to safely charge your battery
pack when used with the included ParkZone Li-Po balancing charger.
To Complete the Charging Process
1. Attach the input cord of the charger to the appropriate power supply (12V accessory outlet), or use
the HBZ6513 (Alligator Clip input adapter for 12V) and attach to 12V DC power supply. Once your
charger has been correctly powered up, there will be an approximate 3-second delay, then you will
hear an audible “beep”, and the green (ready) LED will flash.
2. Set the dial on the charger to the appropriate rate depending on the capacity of battery
being charged.
