Charging the Flight Battery
NOTICE:
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.
CAUTION:
Only use chargers specifically
designed to charge the included Li-Po battery.
Failure to do so could result in fire, causing injury or
property damage.
CAUTION:
Never exceed the recommended
charge rate.
Use only the included USB charger to charge the flight battery.
1. Connect the charger to a suitable USB power port. The
charger will work with most 5V mobile power sources
or smartphone chargers.
2. Connect the charge lead to the battery, noting correct
polarity. Charging a fully discharged flight battery takes
approximately 90 minutes. Charge times may vary
depending on the power source.
3. Remove the battery from the charger when the charging
cycle is complete.
4. Remove the charger from the power supply.
CAUTION:
Once charging is complete, immedi-
ately remove the battery. Never leave a battery
connected to the charger.
