Charging the Battery

Your aircraft comes with a 2-Cell 7.4V 180mAh
20C Li-Po battery and a Celectra™ 2S 7.4V DC Li-Po
charger that requires a 12V (11V-14V) DC
power source.

Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended
to charge the battery pack while you are inspect-
ing the aircraft. The fl ight battery will be required
to confi rm proper aircraft operation in
future steps.

Please visit www.horizonhobby.com for optional
battery adapters.

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.

The connector of the battery is specifi cally
designed to allow it to fi t into the charge port
one way to prevent reverse polarity connection.
However, check for proper alignment and polarity
before proceeding.

1. Gently press the battery connector into the

charge port located on the front of the charger.

2. Press the button on the charger. The red LED

will illuminate, indicating charging has begun.

3. Disconnect the battery from the charger when

the green LED turns solid. The battery is fully
charged.

Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged)
180mAh battery takes approximately 50–60
minutes at the charger’s 300mA charge rate. The
included battery can be charged at a rate of up to
3C (540mA).

CAUTION: Once charging is complete,

immediately remove the battery. Never leave a
battery connected to the charger.

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.

CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended

charge rate.
