LiteHawk MINIs - How To Charge
Your LiteHawk MINIs come with a LiPo battery which is inside the model. The recharge-
able Li-Po battery provides the power to propel your model at high speeds. You should
expect 8-12 min run time. However you do need to make sure to properly maintain your
Li-Po Battery.
- Li-Po batteries don’t like to be run down too low. If the voltage is dropped dramatically
they will be damaged and will not recharge! Once the model starts to slow, drive your
model to a safe place, walk over and turn it off.
- It is recommend to charge the battery after your run and to always store the battery
with a charge. Never discharge or dead short a Li-Po battery!
Always have your model turned off when not in use. Make sure the switch is turned OFF.
1/ Plug the USB into your computer, TV, or USB charger. The LED light on the USB will turn
RED.
2/ Plug the other end of the cable into your Litehawk MINIs battery port located at the
side of the model. Do not force the plug, it only goes in one way. The model must have
the power switch in the OFF position. The LED light on the USB will turn OFF.
3/ Charge time can take up to 30 minute (shorter if charging for the first time). Once
charged the LED light on the USB will turn back to solid RED.
Tip: If storing for more than 24 hours it is best to store with a fully charged battery.
Failure to do so can damage the battery pack and shorten its useful life.
During charging:
- It is normal for the battery to get warm during the charging process. Do not charge the
battery on a surface that is flammable or can be damaged by heat.
- Do not leave the battery and charger unattended while charging.
- After charging, unplug charger from model.
- Do not store the model plugged into the charger.
