Charge Errors and Indications
In the event that both the red and green LEDs flash, a charge error has occurred. Some examples of
charge errors and their indications include:
• Alternating flashing of the red and green LEDs will indicate that the charge process has been
interrupted. If input power to the charger has been interrupted due to disconnection from the power
source or a drop in voltage/current output from the power source, unplug the battery from the charger.
Next, check to make sure that the input power plug from the AC to 12V DC adapter/power supply is
connected or that the alligator clips are firmly and properly attached to the power source. Also be sure
that the power source is providing the proper amount of voltage and current required to the charger.
After confirming the connections and that the power source is delivering the necessary voltage and
current, re-start the charge process by connecting the battery pack. Continue to monitor the charge
process to ensure that no further charge errors occur.
• Simultaneous flashing of the red and green LEDs will indicate that the voltage of the Li-Po battery
pack is too low to allow the charge process to begin. In this case the battery may have been over-
discharged due to flying the model too long (For more information on preventing over-discharge of the
Li-Po battery pack, see the guidelines section found on page 10), or that a single cell or even all cells
in the battery pack may be damaged.
If after several charging attempts you continue to see this charge error indication, you should
remove the battery pack from service and replace it with a new one.
