• Store the ba ery at room temperature,
approximately 68–77° Fahrenheit (F), and in a dry
area for best results.
• When transpor ng or temporarily storing the
ba ery, the temperature range should be from
approximately 40–100°F. Do not store the ba ery
or model in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight
whenever possible. If stored in a hot garage or car
the ba ery can be damaged or even catch fi re!
• Do not over-discharge the LiPo ba ery.
Discharging the LiPo ba ery too low can cause
damage to the ba ery resul ng in reduced power,
fl ight dura on or failure of the ba ery en rely.
LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V
each under load. In the case of the 3-Cell/3S 11.1V
LiPo ba ery used to power the Black Marlin, you will
not want to allow the ba ery to fall below 9.0V during
opera on.
The electronic speed control (ESC) has low voltage
cutoff (LVC) protec on. When the ba ery voltage
drops below a set point the thro le is gradually
reduced. At this point the model will need to be
returned to shore and the ba ery recharged.
Charging the Battery
1. Plug the power supply into charger.
2. Plug the power supply into an AC power outlet.
3. Plug the 4-pin balance connector of the ba ery
into the charger. Maintain correct polarity
when plugging in 4-pin balance connector.
4. Both red and green LED’s will light during
charge. Only the green LED will remain lit when
charge is complete.
