• When transporting or temporarily storing the battery, the temperature range should
be from approximately 40–100°F. Do not store the battery or model in a hot garage,
car or direct sunlight whenever possible. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery
can be damaged or even catch fire.
• Do not over ‐ discharge the LiPo battery. Discharging the LiPo battery too low can
cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power, flight duration or failure of
the battery entirely.
LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load. In the case of the
3 ‐ Cell/3S 11.1V LiPo battery used to power the Evolve 300 CX you will not want to
allow the battery to fall below 9.0V during flight.
The 3 ‐ in ‐ 1 control unit does not feature a low voltage cutoff (LVC) of any type so it’s
important for you to be aware of the power level of the LiPo battery during flight. If
you ever find that more than the typical amount of throttle/power is required to
hover and/or the helicopter will not ascend/climb even at full power you should land
the model and disconnect the battery immediately to prevent over ‐ discharge.
Continued discharging can cause permanent damage to the LiPo battery resulting in
reduced power output and/or shortened flight durations during subsequent flights
(or failure of the battery entirely).
You must charge the included 800mAh 3 ‐ Cell/3S 11.1V 20C LiPo Battery (IFLB8003S20J)
using only the included 3 ‐ Cell/3S 11.1V LiPo, 0.8 ‐ Amp DC Balancing Charger (IFLC308C) 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 charger), or even a different LiPo
battery charger with the incorrect settings, may result in damage to the battery or fire
resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.
Please follow these steps to charge the LiPo flight battery with the included charger:

Slide the included outlet connector/plug adapter into the corresponding slot on the
included 1215PS 100 ‐ 240V AC to 12V DC Adapter, 1.5 ‐ Amp Power Supply
(IFLC1215PS). The outlet connector/plug adapter will only fit in the slot one way and is
installed securely after you feel/hear the ‘click’. Now you can plug the AC
adapter/power supply into a compatible 100 ‐ 240V AC outlet then connect the power
output lead to the receptacle on the side of the 308C charger.
