batteries must be charged before use. the batteries are constructed from 6 lithium
polymer cells giving 22.2 volts and 25.2 volts when fully charged without a load. the
capacity of each battery supplied with the hoverbike Drone is 3000 mAh. if available,
it is recommended to set the charge current to 3 Amps and never to charge at over 15
Amps. we recommend charging with the balance leads connected.
When flying from two or more batteries in parallel, you need to ensure that the bat-
teries have the same voltage (voltage per number of cells), energy capacity (mAh) and
power capacity (C rating). Always check that the pack voltage is the same as the others
(+/- 200mv).
it is always best practice to label your batteries as a pair and to charge them both fully
before flight.
Do not drain more than 80% of the batteries capacity.
