Optional ‘Fast’ Charging
The included 800mAh 3 ‐ Cell/3S 11.1V 20C LiPo Battery (IFLB8003S20J) can be ‘fast’ charged
at rates up to 2C (2x the Capacity of the battery; 2 x 800mAh = 1600mAh = 1.6A) when using
approved and compatible LiPo battery chargers. It will take approximately 30 ‐ 45 minutes to
fully charge a mostly or fully discharged (not over ‐ discharged) battery when charging at 2C.
For ‘fast’ charging we recommend using the Radient™ Ascend charger (RDNA0002). This
charger is capable of charging the included LiPo battery at rates up to 2C/1.6A and can also be
used to charge other higher and lower capacity LiPo, NiCd and NiMH batteries. The Ascend
charger is equipped with a ‘Tamiya ‐ style’ connector (use a ‘Tamiya to JST’ adapter to connect
the main power leads of the included LiPo battery) and is compatible with the JST ‐ XH
(balance) connector installed on the battery. It can be powered from a 100–240V AC outlet or
from a 12–15V DC power source, such as a 12V ‘car’ battery, for quick and convenient
charging at the field or beyond. You can find the Radient Ascend charger at HobbyTown USA®
stores and www.HobbyTown.com .
