To

 

charge

 

the

 

LiPo

 

flight

 

battery

 

when

 

it’s

 

not

 

installed

 

in

 

the

 

helicopter

 

use

 

the

 

included

 

Micro

 

A

 

Female

 

Connector

 

to

 

Ultra

Micro

 

Male

 

Connector

 

Adapter

 

Lead

 

(AZSH1354)

 

to

 

connect

 

the

 

battery

 

to

 

the

 

charger

 

directly.

 

YOU

 

MUST

 

BE

 

CAREFUL

 

TO

 

ENSURE

 

PROPER

 

POLARITY

 

BEFORE

 

MAKING

 

THE

 

CONNECTIONS

 

by

 

orienting/aligning

 

the

 

wire

 

leads

 

of

 

the

 

battery

 

and

 

adapter

 

lead

 

so

 

they’re

 

‘red

 

to

 

red’

 

and

 

‘black

 

to

 

black’

.

 

You’ll

 

also

 

need

 

to

 

orient

 

the

 

red

 

color

 

positive

 

(+)

 

wire

 

lead

 

toward

 

the

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

charger

 

without

 

the

 

USB

 

connector.

 

And

 

although

 

the

 

connectors

 

are

 

‘keyed’

 

to

 

minimize

 

the

 

risk

 

of

 

a

 

reverse

 

polarity

 

connection,

 

if

 

you

 

force

 

them

 

it

 

is

 

possible

 

to

 

make

 

connection

 

with

 

the

 

incorrect

 

polarity

 

potentially

 

causing

 

damage

 

to

 

the

 

battery

 

and/or

 

charger.

 

When

 

the

 

connectors

 

are

 

properly

 

aligned

 

for

 

correct

 

polarity

 

only

 

a

 

minimal

 

amount

 

of

 

pressure

 

should

 

be

 

required

 

to

 

achieve

 

the

 

light

 

‘click’

 

that

 

indicates

 

secure

 

connection.

 

When

 

the

 

helicopter

 

and/or

 

battery

 

are

 

connected

 

to

 

the

 

charger

 

securely

 

and

 

with

 

the

proper

 

polarity

 

the

 

LED

 

indicator

 

will

 

glow

 

solid

 

red

 

(there

 

is

 

an

 

LED

 

indicator

 

for

 

each

 

charge

port).

 

The

 

battery

 

will

 

be

 

charging

 

any

 

time

 

the

 

LED

 

indicator

 

is

 

glowing

 

solid

 

red.

It

 

will

 

take

 

approximately

 

1.0–1.5

 

hours

 

to

 

fully

 

charge

 

a

 

mostly

 

or

 

fully

 

discharged

 

(not

 

over

discharged)

 

battery

 

from

 

a

 

suitable

 

power

 

source.

 

And

 

when

 

the

 

battery

 

is

 

fully

 

charged

 

the

LED

 

indicator

 

will

 

stop

 

glowing

 

entirely.

 

When

 

the

 

LED

 

indicator

 

is

 

no

 

longer

 

glowing

 

you

 

can

disconnect

 

the

 

helicopter

 

and/or

 

battery

 

from

 

the

 

charger/adapted

 

lead

 

as

 

it

 

is

 

now

 

fully

charged

 

and

 

ready

 

for

 

use.

NOTE:

 

When

 

using

 

both

 

charge

 

ports

 

at

 

the

 

same

 

time

 

to

 

charge

 

two

 

(2)

 

fully

 

discharged

 

(not

 

over

discharged)

 

batteries,

 

the

 

charge

 

time

 

may

 

increase

 

by

 

approximately

 

30

 

minutes

 

per

 

battery

 

(or

 

more)

 

depending

 

on

 

the

 

amount

 

of

 

power

 

available

 

from

 

your

 

source.

 

NOTE:

 

The

 

LiPo

 

flight

 

battery

 

included

 

with

 

your

 

model

 

will

 

arrive

 

partially

 

charged.

  

For

 

this

 

reason

 

the

 

initial

 

charge

 

may

 

only

 

take

 

approximately

 

30–45

 

minutes.

 

NOTE:

 

It’s

 

safer

 

and

 

better

 

for

 

the

 

longevity

 

of

 

the

 

battery

 

to

 

store

 

it

 

only

 

partially

 

charged

 

for

 

any

 

length

 

of

 

time.

 

Storing

 

the

 

battery

 

at

 

approximately

 

50%

 

charge

 

(which

 

is

 

approximately

 

3.85V

 

per

 

cell)

 

is

 

typically

 

best,

 

however,

 

it

 

will

 

take

 

some

 

careful

 

management

 

of

 

the

 

charge

 

time

 

and

 

the

 

use

 

of

 

a

 

volt

 

meter

 

to

 

achieve

 

this

 

voltage.

 

If

 

you

 

have

 

the

 

equipment

 

and

 

skills

 

to

 

achieve

 

the

 

50%

 

charge

 

level

 

for

 

storage

 

it

 

is

 

recommended.

 

If

 

not,

 

simply

 

be

 

sure

 

to

 

not

 

store

 

the

 

battery

 

fully

 

charged

 

whenever

 

possible.

 

In

 

fact,

 

as

 

long

 

as

 

the

 

battery

 

will

 

be

 

stored

 

at

 

approximately

 

room

 

temperature

 

and

 

for

 

no

 

more

 

than

 

a

 

few

 

weeks

 

before

 

the

 

next

 

use,

 

it

 

may

 

be

 

best

 

to

 

store

 

the

 

battery

 

in

 

the

 

discharged

 

state

 

after

 

the

 

last

 

flight

 

(as

 

long

 

as

 

the

 

battery

 

was

 

not

 

over

discharged

 

on

 

the

 

last

 

flight).
