Battery Warnings and Guidelines
The Battery Charger (EFLC1006) included with the Blade mCP X has been designed to safely charge the
Li-Po battery.
CAUTION
: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result
in a fire, personal injury, and/or property damage.
• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries.
• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging,
discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can
result in fire.
• Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results.
• Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a temperature range of 40–120º F. Do not store battery or
model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.
• NEVER USE A Ni-Cd OR Ni-MH CHARGER. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger may cause fire
resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.
• Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.
• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.
WARNING:
Only use an E-flite 6V power supply with this charger. DO NOT use a 12V power supply or
property damage and injury could occur.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V, the battery may be damaged and may no longer accept a charge. The
mCP X 3-in-1 control unit protects the flight battery from over-discharge by using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before
the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor. As power to the motor decreases,
the LED on the 3-in-1 control unit blinks, showing some battery power is reserved for flight control and safe landing.
When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after each use to prevent trickle discharge. Before stor-
age, charge the Li-Po battery to full capacity. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V.
NOTICE:
Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
