IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!! Read the entire instruction sheet included with this
battery and charger. Failure to follow all instructions could cause
permanent damage to the battery, charger or its surroundings, and
cause bodily harm!
• Only use a LiPo approved charger. NEVER use a NiCd / NiMH
peak charger!
• Do not attempt to use this charger with NiCd or NiMH
battery packs.
• Never charge in excess of 4.20V per cell.
• Only charge through the “charge” lead. Never charge through
the “discharge” lead.
• Use only approved power input accessories- either the included
12 V car adapter or the included AC adapter.
• If the battery should become damaged, discard the battery. Do
not attempt to use a damaged battery.
• Donotleavethecharger unattendedwhile charging.Disconnect
thebatteryandremoveinputpowerfromthechargerimmediately
if either becomes hot! However, It is normal for the charger to
get warm.
• Disconnect the battery from the charger and carefully move
the battery to a fireproof location if the battery begins to swell
or smoke!

• Never charge at currents greater than 1C.
• Always charge in a fireproof location.
• Never trickle charge.
• Never allow the battery temperature to exceed 150° F
[65° C].
• Never disassemble or modify pack wiring in any way or
puncture cells.
• Never discharge below 2.5V per cell.
• Do not allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger.
• Do not block the air intake holes, which could cause the charger
to overheat.
• Do not place the charger or any battery on a flammable surface
or near a combustible material while in use.

INTRODUCTION
The Heli-Max AXE CP-L now includes a Lithium-Polymer (LiPo)
flight pack and a balancing charger. The LiPo battery pack will
provide 35% to 60% more flight time than the previously used NiMH
battery pack. Please use this instruction addendum for charging
procedures and precautionary warnings.
Extensive testing has been performed using the AXE CP with the
supplied 950mAh 11.1V LiPo battery. Due to the extended flight
time provided by the LiPo Battery, please allow the AXE CP to rest
and cool down for 15 minutes between flights.If you do not allow the
AXE CP time to cool down, you may cause damage to the battery,
electronics or electric motors.
If you notice the model is loosing power during flight, please bring
the model back into a low hover and prepare for landing. To main
the best performance and lifespan of the LiPo battery, please keep
your flight time to 9 minutes or less.
IMPORTANT!! Always remove the LiPo battery pack from the
helicopter and charge the battery in a location that is fireproof.
Never leave the battery unattended while being charged! If
the battery becomes hot, starts to smoke or begins to swell
immediatelydisconnectthebatteryfromthechargerandcarefully
movethebattery toa fireprooflocation! Useonlyapprovedpower
input accessories – either the included 12V car adapter or AC
wall adapter (also available separately GPMM3310).
Charging the Flight Battery
❏1. Connect the input power plug from the AC wall adapter or the
12V car adapter to the charger. While the charger is initializing, the
indicator light will change from ORANGE to RED to GREEN.GREEN
indicates standby mode which indicates the charger is ready.
❏2.Alwaysuse the charge andbalanceconnector onthebattery
when charging. Do not use the discharge connector to charge
the battery.
❏3. Connect the battery to the balance connector on the charger.
The indicator light will change from GREEN to RED, and will remain
RED during the charging process. If the indicator light remains
GREEN then the battery may already be fully charged.
❏4. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light will turn
GREEN. Remove the battery from the charger at this time and
disconnect the charger from its power source.
❏5. Charging time depends on the amount of charge remaining
in the battery. The charge process may take as long as 1 hour 30
mintues with a fully discharged battery.
