BASIC OPERATION
Battery Charging
Before charging batteries, read the "Cautions for handling battery and battery charger" in the section
"LiPo Battery Safety and Handling Instructions".
How to charge the LiPo battery 7,4V/ 3,400mAH for the transmitter
The RC charger included in the set is suitable for charging 7.4 Volt Lithium batteries, and features a voltage-
controlled automatic cut-off circuit (8.4 Volts). The charge current is approximately 2 A.
It can be connected:
•
to a 12 V car battery or 12 V DC mains PSU via the car cigar lighter adaptor (supplied);
•
or to a mains socket (110 … 230 V AC) using the mains adaptor (also supplied).
Notes on handling and charging the transmitter battery
•
Connect the 230 V mains charger to a mains power socket.
•
Connect the plug to the 12 V Lithium charger.
•
The red monitor LED will now light up.
•
Locate the charge lead attached to the 12 V charger, and connect it to the transmitter.
•
The charge monitor LED now lights up red to indicate that charging is in progress; the charge current is
around 2 Ampere.
•
The charge time is around 3.5 hours if the battery is initially discharged.
•
When the charge process is almost complete (90%), the colour of the charge monitor LED changes
colour to green; the charge monitor LED goes out when the charge is 100% complete. The battery can safely
be disconnected at around 90%, since the remainder of the charge to 100% takes approximately a further thirty
minutes using the CC-CV charge method.
Caution:
The LiPo transmitter battery is fitted with an integral balancer and a protective electronic circuit, which
protects against over-voltage and deep-discharge.
The battery must only be charged using the RC charger supplied in the set! Chargers such as the Power
Peak Infinity and similar are not suitable, as these devices are designed for high cell-count packs, and
generate a very high voltage at the cut-off point, which could destroy the protective battery circuit.
