the charger will shut down. Unplug the charger and remove any
installed batteries to reset it.
5. When a cell is completely charged, its corresponding LED will
glow steady green. The 3-cell pack is fully charged when all 3
LEDs are steady green.
Note:
If the charger detects any of the battery’s cells are already fully
charged when you plug it into the charger, the LEDs corresponding to
the charged cells will not glow steady red and will default to steady
green to indicate those cells are fully charged.
INSTALLING BATTERY PACKS
Using Different Battery Configurations
The battery compartments in the E-Revo are adjustable to
accommodate a large variety of battery packs. Depending on
model, the battery compartments are configured at the factory to
accept either 7-cell NiMH stick packs or 3-Cell LiPo battery packs.
The E-Revo battery compartments have three key features for
keeping your batteries secure:
1. A foam rubber cushion
2. A spring clip (This is removable for use with taller batteries.)
3. A battery retainer tab (This is adjustable to fit a variety of
battery sizes.)
We recommend using this combination for all batteries. Make sure
to adjust the battery retainer tab to keep your battery pack snug
against the foam rubber cushion. This does not need to be very
tight. It only needs to prevent the battery from moving excessively
during use.
Battery Installation
Note
: Images reflect NiMH batteries. LiPo battery installation is the
same unless otherwise noted.
1. Open the battery compartment door by pressing on
the release tabs.
2. Install the battery pack with the battery wires facing
the rear of the model.
3. Make sure the battery is snug in the compartment. If not, remove
the battery and make adjustment to the battery retaining tab.
4. Route the battery wire through the slot near the vent.
5. Close the battery door, making sure not to pinch the battery
wires. Be sure both release tabs are fully engaged with the door.
Do not connect the battery packs to the ESC at this time.
Note
: Always unplug the batteries and remove from the model after
use.
6-cell battery packs:
Swap the battery
retainer tabs from the
left and right battery
compartments. This
will provide additional
adjustment needed to
keep the 6-cell battery
packs snug against the foam rubber cushions.

When rechargeable batteries
begin to lose their charge,
they will fade much faster
than alkaline dry cells. Stop
immediately at the first sign
of weak batteries. Never turn
the transmitter off when the
battery pack is plugged
in. The model could run out
of control.
