Refer to your charger manual for charging instructions
and safety information.
NOTICE:
Never charge a battery in the boat or damage
may result.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
IMPORTANT:
The ESC must be in LiPo mode to safely
operate the boat under LiPo power. Please refer to the
ESC manual for more information.
Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may
damage your battery. The included ESC protects the boat
battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff
(LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much,
LVC removes power supplied to the motor. Power to the
motor decreases, showing some power is reserved for
the boat to return safely to shore.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the boat
after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po
battery to about half capacity before storage. During
storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-
discharge during storage.
NOTICE:
Repeated operation to LVC will damage the
battery.
Tip:
Monitor your boat battery’s voltage before and
after boating by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker
(DYN4071, sold separately).
1.
Apply the included hook and loop tape to the battery.
Do not cover the battery warning label.
Tip:
Clean the battery pack with motor spray or rubbing
alcohol and a clean cloth before installing hook and loop
tape so adhesive can stick better.
2.
Remove the middle hatch from the boat.
3.
Install the battery in the center of the hull between
the two motors.
4.
Center the battery over the hook and loop tape in the
hull, then press the battery into the tape to secure it.
5.
Connect the battery EC3™ connectors to the receiver.
6.
Follow the
Getting Started
instructions to power on
your boat. Install all boat hatches before operating it in
water.
Tip:
If desired, apply waterproof tape over the hatch edge
to help keep water out of the hull.
IMPORTANT:
Always remove the battery from the boat
for transport and storage.
