Battery Charging
It is important that you only charge the included 7.4V 800mAh 2-cell Li-Po Battery Pack (EFLB0990)
with the included 2- to 3-Cell 7.4-11.1V Li-Po Balancing Charger (EFLC3110). 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 8–9) before continuing.
The included 2- to 3-Cell 7.4-11.1V Li-Po Balancing Charger will charge a near fully discharged (not over-discharged)
7.4V 800mAh 2-cell Li-Po Battery Pack in approximately 1.2–1.5 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.
Note: The Li-Po battery pack included with your Blade™ CX2 will arrive partially charged. For this reason the initial
charge may only take approximately 30–50 minutes.
The charger requires up to 1.5 amps of 11.5- to 15-Volt DC input power that can be supplied by the included AC
to 12V DC, 1.5-Amp Power Supply (EFLC4000) for convenient charging anywhere an AC outlet is available.
NEVER attempt to power the charger from an AC outlet without the use of a proper AC to DC adapter/
power supply.
Note: When using the AC to DC adapter/power supply, the charger is protected to prevent damage if the alligator
clips touch. However, please take care to ensure that the alligator clips do not cause shorting of the battery,
adapter/power supply, etc. by keeping them clear.
