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 battery 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.
CAUTION: Only use a charger specifi cally designed to charge a Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could
result in fi re causing injury or property damage.
The Battery Charging Process
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger. The end cap of the battery is specifically designed to
allow the battery to fit 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 before
proceeding to the next step.
4. Gently press the battery and its connector into the charge jack/connector located at the bottom of
the slot in the charger.
5. When you make the connection successfully, the LED on the charger turns solid red, indicating
charging has begun.
6. 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.
7. When the battery is fully charged, the LED blinks approximately every 20 seconds or goes out
entirely. If the LED stays on when the battery is removed, the AA batteries in the charger are low.
8. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.
CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause a fire.
CAUTION: Only use an E-fl ite® 6V power supply (EFLC1005) with this charger. DO NOT use a 12V
power supply or property damage and injury could occur.
