RTF/BNF Basic
The included (RTF Only) battery charger
(EFLUC1007) 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 fi re, personal injury and/or
property damage.
• Never charge batteries overnight.
• Never leave charging batteries unattended.
• 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 fi re.
• 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 40–120° F. Do not store
the battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If
stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or
even catch fi re.
• Always charge batteries away from fl ammable
materials.
• Always inspect the battery before charging.
• Always disconnect the battery after charging, and
let the charger cool between charges.
• Always constantly monitor the temperature of the
battery pack while charging.
• ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge
the battery with a compatible charger may cause
a fi re resulting in personal injury and/or property
damage.
• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.
• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop
strips.
• Never charge batteries outside recommended
levels.
• Never charge damaged batteries.
• Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger.
• Never allow minors to charge battery packs.
• Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold
places (recommended between 40–120° F or
5–49° C) or place in direct sunlight.

The RTF aircraft comes with a 2S 7.4V 280mAh 30C
Li-Po battery and a 2S 7.4V Li-Po battery charger
that requires use of the included (RTF Only) AC
power supply or the optional 12V (11V–14V) DC
power cord (EFLUC1008).
Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended
to charge the battery pack while you are inspecting
the aircraft. The flight battery will be required to
confirm proper aircraft operation in future steps.
Battery Charging Process
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.
1. Gently press the battery connector into the
charge port located on the front of the charger.
The connector of the battery is specifi cally
designed to allow it to fi t into the charge port
one way to prevent reverse polarity connection.
However, check for proper alignment and polarity.
2. Press the button on the charger. The red LED will
illuminate, indicating charging has begun.
Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged)
280mAh battery takes approximately
45 minutes
at the charger’s 300mA charge rate. The included
battery can be charged at a rate of up to 3C
(840mA).
Always disconnect the fl ight battery from the
charger immediately upon completion of charging.
CAUTION:
Overcharging a battery can cause
a fi re.
CAUTION:
Only use a charger specifi cally
designed to charge this Li-Po battery. Failure
to do so could result in fi re, causing injury or
property damage.
CAUTION:
Never exceed the recommended
charge rate.
