In the case of the 3-Cell/1S 11.1V LiPo battery used to power the
Optim 300 CP, you will not want to allow the battery to fall below
9.0V during flight.
The ESC unit has low voltage cutoff (LVC) protection. However it
is not recommended to run the batteries down to this level on a
regular basis.

You MUST charge the included 1350mAh 3-Cell/3S 11.1V 30C LiPo Battery
(AZSZ2373) using the included 800mA Charger w/AC adapter (AZSZ2384) or
a suitably compatible LiPo battery charger. Charging the LiPo battery using a
non-LiPo battery compatible charger (such as a NiCd or NiMH battery char-
ger), or even a different LiPo battery charger with the incorrect settings, may
result in damage to the battery or even fire resulting in property damage and/
or personal injury.
To charge the flight battery, first plug the AC charge adapter into an AC out-
let and then plug in the 800mA DC Balance Charger to the adapter. Plug the
flight battery balance adapter into the balance charger. With the battery con-
nected to the charger, both the red and green LED will light up. When the
green LED goes out, leaving only the red LED lit, the charging is complete.
