When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.
The ESC protects the fl ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage
Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes
power supplied to the motor. Power to the motor pulses, showing that some
battery power is reserved for fl ight control and safe landing.
When the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the
fl ight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent
trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before stor-
age. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V
per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE:
Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the battery.
The Battery Charging Process
1.
Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken
or punctured.
2.
Insert the charger into the appropriate power supply (12V accessory outlet).
3.
Connect the balancing lead of the battery to the charger port.
4.
The LED will fl ash during charging.
5.
The LED will glow solid when the battery is fully charged. (Approximately 1 hour)
6.
Always disconnect the battery from the charger immediately upon completion
of charging. The LED will turn off.
CAUTION
: Overcharging a battery can cause a fi re.
CAUTION
: Only use a charger specifi cally designed to charge a Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result in fi re causing injury or property damage.
CAUTION
: Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
NOTICE:
If using a battery other than the included Li-Po battery, refer to your battery manufacturer’s instructions for charging.
Your aircraft comes with a DC balancing charger and 2S Li-Po battery. You
should only charge your battery with the included charger. Never leave the
battery and charger unattended during the charge process. Failure to follow
the instructions properly could result in a fi re. When charging, ensure the bat-
tery is on a heat-resistant surface. Charge the fl ight battery while assembling
the aircraft. Install the fully charged battery to perform control tests and
binding.
