Charging the Battery
It is normal for NiMH battery
packs to become warm during
the charging process. You can
also expect the battery pack to be
warm after each fl ight. Always
allow a warm battery to cool prior
to recharging, and never attempt
to charge a battery pack that is
too warm to hold in your hand.
Always disconnect the charger from the electric socket when the
charging process is complete. When connecting or unplugging the
battery pack, hold it by the connectors. Never pull on the wires. (See
Figure 9)
CAUTION
READ THIS SECTION BEFORE CHARGING YOUR
BATTERY PACK FOR THE FIRST TIME!
● Always handle the battery pack carefully.
● Never cut the battery lead wires.
● Do not insert any metal objects into the battery plug, as a direct
short (and quite possibly a fi re) will result.
● Always remove the battery pack from your Freedom Flyer after each
fl ight. Do not store the battery pack inside the aircraft.
● Never allow the battery pack to get wet. Should the battery ever come
into contact with any moisture, dry it carefully before attempting to use
it again. Moisture can cause short-circuits and severe damage.
● Keep the battery away from heat or fi re. Never leave the battery pack
in direct sunlight.
● Never leave the battery pack unattended while charging. Over-charging
can damage your battery.
● Always remove battery from airplane before charging.
● Dispose of NiMH (nickel-metal-hydride) batteries properly. Never
place them in a fi re!
A. Plug the charger into an electric socket.
B. Next attach your battery pack to the battery charger. The charger will
automatically begin charging the battery pack.
C. Charging will take approximately 2 hours, however, longer charge
times may be necessary when the battery is new. Charging is complete
when the battery is warm to the touch. Do not allow the battery to get
too hot.
