Charging the Battery

Your aircraft comes with a 1S 3.7V DC Li-Po
battery charger and 1S 3.7V 150mAh 25C
Li-Po battery. Refer to the charging warnings. It is
recommended to charge the battery pack while
you are inspecting the aircraft. The fl ight
battery will be required to confi rm proper
aircraft operation in future steps.

Remove the cover on the bottom of the
charger and install four of the included AA
batteries, noting proper polarity. Replace the
cover after the AA batteries are installed. Only use
alkaline AA batteries.

Battery Charging Process

NOTICE: Charge only batteries that are cool to the
touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery
to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent,
broken or punctured.

1. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger

and press it into the charge jack/connector
located at the bottom of the slot. The end cap
of the battery is specifi cally designed to allow
the battery to fi t into the slot one way (usually
with the label on the battery facing outward) to
prevent reverse polarity connection. However,
check for proper alignment and polarity.

2. Always disconnect the fl ight battery from

the charger immediately upon completion of
charging.

CAUTION: Only use the included charger

specifi cally designed to charge this Li-Po battery.
Failure to do so could result in fi re, causing injury
or property damage.

CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended

charge rate.

LED Indications

When you make the connection successfully, the
LED on the charger turns solid red, indicating
charging has begun.

Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged)
150mAh battery takes approximately 30–40
minutes. As the battery nears full charge, the LED
begins to blink. The intervals between blinks will
increase as the battery comes closer to full charge.

When the LED blinks approximately every 20
seconds, the battery is ready to be removed.
However, the battery can be left charging until the
LED completely goes out for a maximum charge.

power supply (EFLC1005) with this charger.
DO NOT use a 12V power supply or property
