1. Prior to charging, make sure the battery
pack is completely discharged by running
the electric motor until it slows down.
Note: Discharge the Ni-Cd pack every
cycle. Failure to do so will decrease the
capacity and flying time of the battery.
2. For best results, let the battery pack cool
before charging. Heat can prevent a battery
from charging to full capacity and also
decreases the performance of the battery.
3. Once the pack is ready to be charged,
attach the red (positive +) alligator clip to
the red "positive" terminal of the 12V
power source.
4. Attach the black (negative-) alligator
clip to the "negative" terminal of the
12V power source.
5. Make certain that you hook up the
charger to the correct polarity of the
12V power source.
6. Use the graph provided on the back of the
charger to select the correct charge time
needed to fully charge the battery pack.
The graph will give a recommended
charging time (of a fully discharged
battery) based upon the capacity of your
battery pack.
7. Continue to monitor the battery as it is
being charged. After the battery has been
fully charged, disconnect the charger from
the battery.
