4. After each flight, completely discharge the battery
by holding the plane and running the motor until the
motor starts to pulse on and off. Remove the battery
pack from the airplane and allow it to cool
completely before recharging.
Battery Charging Precautions
1. Be careful to avoid overcharging the battery! When
you plug the battery into the charger, there is no way
to know how much charge is left in the battery
(unless you have just completed a flight in which the
battery was run all the way down or have fully
discharged the battery). If you put too much charge
into the battery, it will get very hot. This may result in
melting the plastic battery cover, causing the cells to
vent and damaging the charger! Always remove the
battery from your Aero Scout before charging.
2. Remember to check the temperature of the
battery continuously during the charge. Unplug the
battery as soon as it warms up (before it gets hot),
even if the yellow dot has not turned orange.
3. If your battery is not completely discharged
before charging, the charging time may take less
than 3 minutes. Again, only let the battery get warm
to the touch – not hot.
4. If you use a different battery charger, charge this
battery pack only at a maximum charge rate of
0.1 amp or 100 mAh. A higher charge rate will charge
the battery pack too quickly and heat up the wires.
5. A properly cared for battery pack will last a long
time. If the battery pack is continually overcharged
or charged at too high of a rate, the life of the
battery pack will be shortened.
WARNING: Misuse or malfunction may overheat
the battery and charger, resulting in personal injury
or damage to surroundings.
