Your aircraft comes with a 2S 7.4V 150mAh 45C
Li-Po battery and a 2S 7.4V DC Li-Po battery
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 inspecting
the aircraft. The flight battery will be required to
confirm proper aircraft operation in future steps.

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. Gently press the battery connector into the

charge port located on the front of the charger.
The connector of the battery is specifically
designed to allow it to fit into the charge port
one way to prevent reverse polarity connection.
However, check for proper alignment and
polarity.

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

will illuminate, indicating charging has begun.

Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharg-
ed) 150mAh battery takes approximately 20–30
minutes at the charger’s 300mA charge rate. The
included battery can be charged at a rate of up to
3C (600mA).

Always disconnect the fl ight battery from the
charger immediately upon completion of charging.

CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause

a fi re.

CAUTION: Only use a 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.
