E-flite 2-3S LiPo Balancing Charger, 0.5-3A User Manual

Charging the Flight Battery

Your Apprentice can be ready to fly in as little time as it takes
to charge the flight battery. Since this takes approximately 60
minutes, let's get the battery charging right away so it's on
charge while you're assembling your new Apprentice. That way
you can start flying as soon as possible.

Required Parts

Charger
3200 3S 11.1V LiPo battery
Power supply or 12-volt battery (not included)

Note: The battery charger can be connected to a power
supply or 12-volt battery. For the pictures in this manual
we will show the use of a power supply.

 1. Connect the charger to a 12-volt battery or 12-volt

power supply. Connect the red lead to the positive (+)
terminal of the power supply or battery. Connect the
black lead to the negative (-) terminal of the power
supply or 12-volt battery. Once your charger has been
correctly powered up, there will be an approximate
3-second delay and then you will hear an audible “beep”
and the green (ready) LED will flash.

 2. Select the proper number of cells that you will be

charging. Your Apprentice includes a 3-cell flight pack,
so set the charger to 3 cells.

 4. Locate the balance charge lead on the battery pack.

The charge lead of a 3-cell LiPo battery will plug into
the larger 4-pin port on the bottom right of the charger.
A 2-cell pack will need to plug into the 3-pin port on
bottom left of the charger. Once the battery is properly
plugged into the correct port, it will beep 3 times if it is a
3-cell, and twice if it is a 2-cell pack. Once this is done,
you are ready to proceed to charge the battery pack.

 3. Set the charge rate for your battery to 3 amps.

Warning: Selecting a charge rate higher than 1x battery
capacity may cause a fire. If the battery capacity is
3000mAh, then set your charger no higher than 3 amps.
