Step 2
Charging the Aircraft Battery
The included variable rate DC peak charger uses
unique
circuitry that ensures an accurate charge for the
9-cell 1000mAh Ni-MH battery pack every time. It also
protects the battery from being over-charged, which
can
damage the battery pack. The charger constantly
monitors
automatically
the
the battery pack’s charge curve and then
switches from fast charge to trickle when
battery is fully charged.
Important: Always charge your ParkZone
battery pack shortly before flying. NEVER
