Battery Charging
The 1000 mAh 7.4V lithium polymer battery pack is equipped with a 3 pole balance
charger lead that allows the battery to be charged off standard RC battery pack
chargers (not included). Follow your charger instructions for setting up for 1A 7.4V
Li-po. Some chargers require the discharge cable to be connected. Use the
enclosed discharge lead adapter for these types of chargers. Do not exceed 1A
charging current.
Note (1): If the charger fails to announce charge complete, but is showing battery
voltage at 8.4V, the charge can be considered finished.
Note (2): If battery becomes fully discharged or accidentally shorted, an internal
safety circuit will trip. To reset the battery, tap 9V direct to the barrel connector via
the discharge adapter cable’s banana connector (black = GND, red = 9V). This will
instantly reset the battery and it can be recharged as normal.
General Lithium Polymer safety and handling instructions:
• NEVER leave a LiPo battery unattended while being charged or discharged.
• ALWAYS monitor the battery and charger during the entire charging process.
• ALWAYS charge LiPo batteries in a fireproof location.
• ALWAYS have a lithium approved “class D type” fire extinguisher available.
• NEVER charge LiPo batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the
battery (“C” equals the rated capacity of the battery).
• NEVER continue to charge LiPo batteries if the charger fails to recognize full
charge. Overheating or swelling of the LiPo cells is an indication of a problem and
the battery should be disconnected from the charger immediately and placed in a
fireproof location
• ALWAYS discontinue charging or discharging a LiPo immediately if at any time
you see smoke or the battery starting to swell up and leave it in a safe fireproof
location for approximately 30 minutes.
