LiteHawk BOOST - Battery & Charger
Your LiteHawk BOOST comes with an 7.4Volt Li-Po battery, a 120V wall mount power
supply and balance charging system.
Battery:
The rechargeable Li-Po battery provides the power to propel your model at high
speeds. You should expect 6-10 min run time. Extra batteries are available at www.lite-
hawk.ca. 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!
- You Must FULLY charge the battery before using your new model.
- Do not leave the battery plugged into the model when it is not being used.
- Keep the battery dry at all times.
