CHARGING BATTERIES
IMPORTANT!! ALWAYS charge a LiPo battery in a location that is fi reproof. NEVER leave the battery unattended
while being charged! If the battery feels warm during charge, remove the battery at once and disconnect the charger
from the power source.
Use only approved power input accessories – the included car adapter and AC adapter (also available separately
GPMM3310)
To charge a battery:
1. Connect input power to the charger. The GREEN LED will be lit, indicating standby mode. The RED LED will be OFF.
2.
Connect the battery to be charged to the balance plug. The RED LED will also be lit, and remain RED during
charging. Both LEDs should be lit solid while charging.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the GREEN LED will turn OFF. Remove the battery from the charger at this time.
4.
Charging time depends on level of discharge and capacity of the battery. To estimate how long it should take to
charge an empty battery, divide the capacity of the battery in mAh by the charge rate in milliamps:
800mAh battery / 800mA ~ 1 hour
1600mAh battery / 800mA ~ 2 hours

ERROR
Possible sources of battery error may include a highly unbalanced pack, charger timed out, or one cell in the pack which
is low voltage. In the case of a battery error, please remove the battery pack from the charger and inspect it carefully for
swelling or any other damage, such as broken wires.
