Fat Shark
7
RC Vision Systems
1800mA Battery Pack
The latest Fat Shark 1800mAh pack with a row of
stylish blue LED indicators allows you to visually
check its remaining capacity (4 levels) to prevent a
sudden power/vision lost. It seats securely in the
headset strap pocket. The soft silicone battery
cable extends out of the top of the pack to avoid
contact with head strap. Barrel connector cable
features high strand count wire for flexibility and
long life. Wire stress is minimized by the additional rubber gasket around the cable exit. No
special charger is needed as balance leads have been added for charging with standard RC
chargers or supplying power to anti-fog mini fan on face plate (battery includes discharge
lead adapter for advanced chargers).
Note: this battery can still be charged via the barrel connector with the original Fat Shark
headset battery charger.
Battery Charging
The 7.4V, 1800mAh lithium polymer battery pack is equipped with a 3 pole balance
charger lead that allows the battery to be charged off standard RC battery pack
chargers (not included). Follow your charger instructions for setting up for 7.4V,1800mAh
Li-po. Some chargers require the discharge cable to be connected. Use the
enclosed discharge lead adapter for these types of chargers. Do not exceed 1C
charging current.
Note (1): If the charger fails to announce charge complete, but is showing battery
voltage at 8.4V, the charge can be considered finished.
Note (2): If battery becomes fully discharged or accidentally shorted, an internal
safety circuit will trip. To reset the battery, tap 9V direct to the barrel connector via
the discharge adapter cable’s banana connector (black = GND, red = 9V). This will
instantly reset the battery and it can be recharged as normal.
General Lithium Polymer safety and handling instructions:
• NEVER leave a LiPo battery unattended while being charged or discharged.
• ALWAYS monitor the battery and charger during the entire charging process.
• ALWAYS charge LiPo batteries in a fireproof location.
• ALWAYS have a lithium approved “class D type” fire extinguisher available.
• NEVER charge LiPo batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the
battery (“C” equals the rated capacity of the battery).
• NEVER continue to charge LiPo batteries if the charger fails to recognize full
charge. Overheating or swelling of the LiPo cells is an indication of a problem and
the battery should be disconnected from the charger immediately and placed in a
fireproof location
