INTRODUCTION
The Heli-Max AXE CP-L now includes a Lithium-Polymer (LiPo)
fl ight pack and a balancing charger. The LiPo battery pack will
provide 35% to 60% more fl ight time than the previously used NiMH
battery pack. Please use this instruction addendum for charging
procedures and precautionary warnings.
Extensive testing has been performed using the AXE CP with the
supplied 950mAh 11.1V LiPo battery. Due to the extended fl ight
time provided by the LiPo Battery, please allow the AXE CP to rest
and cool down for 15 minutes between fl ights. If you do not allow the
AXE CP time to cool down, you may cause damage to the battery,
electronics or electric motors.
If you notice the model is loosing power during fl ight, please bring
the model back into a low hover and prepare for landing. To main
the best performance and lifespan of the LiPo battery, please keep
your fl ight time to 9 minutes or less.
IMPORTANT!! Always remove the LiPo battery pack from the
helicopter and charge the battery in a location that is fi reproof.
Never leave the battery unattended while being charged! If
the battery becomes hot, starts to smoke or begins to swell
immediately disconnect the battery from the charger and carefully
move the battery to a fi reproof location! Use only approved power
input accessories – either the included 12V car adapter or AC
wall adapter (also available separately GPMM3310).
Charging the Flight Battery
❏
1. Connect the input power plug from the AC wall adapter or the
12V car adapter to the charger. While the charger is initializing, the
indicator light will change from ORANGE to RED to GREEN. GREEN
indicates standby mode which indicates the charger is ready.
❏
2. Always use the charge and balance connector on the battery
when charging. Do not use the discharge connector to charge
the battery.
❏
3. Connect the battery to the balance connector on the charger.
The indicator light will change from GREEN to RED, and will remain
RED during the charging process. If the indicator light remains
GREEN then the battery may already be fully charged.
❏
4. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light will turn
GREEN. Remove the battery from the charger at this time and
disconnect the charger from its power source.
❏
5. Charging time depends on the amount of charge remaining
in the battery. The charge process may take as long as 1 hour 30
mintues with a fully discharged battery.
