Charging the Flight Battery (continued)
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. Attach the input cord of the charger to the appropriate power supply (12V accessory outlet).
3. When the Li-Po charger has been correctly powered up, there will be an approximate 3-second delay, then an audible “beep” and the green (ready)
LED will flash.
4. Turn the control on the Amps selector so the arrow points to the charging rate required for the Battery (the included 2200mAh Li-Po battery will charge
at 2.0 amps, which is 1C). DO NOT change the charge rate once the battery begins charging.
5. Move the cell selector switch to 3-cell for your battery.
6. Connect the Balancing Lead of the Battery to the 3-cell (it has 4 pins) charger port.
7. The green and red LEDs may flash during the charging process when the charger is balancing cells. Balancing prolongs the life of the battery.
8. When the battery is fully charged, there will be an audible beep for about 3 seconds and the green LED will shine continuously. Attempting to charge
an over-discharged battery will cause the charger to repeatedly flash and beep, indicating an error has occurred.
9. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.
The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage
Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes
power supplied to the motor. Power to the motor pulses, showing that some
battery power is reserved for flight control and safe landing.
When the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the
flight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to
prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity
before storage. During storage, ensure the battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
CAUTION: Only use a charger specifically designed to charge a Li-Po
battery. Failure to do so could result in fire causing injury or property
damage.
CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
NOTICE: If using a battery other than the included Li-Po battery, refer to your
battery manufacturer’s instructions for charging.
CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause a fire.
