Battery Warnings, Guidelines and Charging (continued)
It is important that you only charge the included 7.4V 800mAh 2-cell Li-Po Battery Pack (EFLB0990)
with the included 2-cell 7.4V Li-Po Balance Charger (EFLC3100). Your battery pack is equipped with
special Charge Protection Circuitry and a Balance Charge Lead with connector that is only compatible
with this charger. Attempting to charge the pack using another Li-Po charger or non Li-Po compatible
charger could result in serious damage. Please familiarize yourself thoroughly with the warnings and
guidelines (pages 4–5) before continuing.
Note: The Li-Po battery pack included with your Blade™ CX will arrive partially charged. For this reason the initial
charge may only take approximately 1.0–1.5 hours.
The included 2-cell 7.4V Li-Po Balance Charger will charge a near fully discharged (not over-discharged)
7.4V 800mAh 2-cell Li-Po Battery Pack in approximately 2.0–2.5 hours. In some cases the charge time
may be shorter depending on the actual amount of capacity left in the pack after a flight. NEVER charge
the battery unattended.
The charger requires up to 1.5 Amps of 11.5–15 Volt DC input power that can be supplied from a small 12V gel
cell or car battery.
