Charging the Aircraft Battery

Your Super Cub comes with a variable 
rate DC peak charger, as well as an AC 
peak charger. This way, you can use the 
charger that best fi ts your needs.

DC peak charger features:

 • Adjustable charge rate from 
 300mAh—1.2A
 • LED indicator
 • Peak charges 4- to 7-cell Ni-Cd and 
  Ni-MH battery packs

1. Select the charge rate of 1.2A for 
  charging the included 8.4V 1000mAh 
 battery 

pack.

2. Connect the battery to the charger.
3. Plug the charger into a12V power 
  outlet of an automobile. Adult super- 
  vision is required. PLACE BATTERY 
  ON HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE 
 DURING 

CHARGING.

4. The LED of the charger will blink on 
  and off steadily while fast charging.
5. When the LED glows solid, the charger
  automatically switches to a trickle 
  charge, indicating that the battery 
  is charged. The battery will feel warm 
  when it is charged.
6. We recommend that you peak charge 
  your battery within a few hours of 
  fl ying your Super Cub.
