2. USING YOUR POWER STATION
To operate, locate an AC wall outlet and use the included power
cable to connect the charger to the outlet. Once connected, the
charger screens will illuminate. This can take 3-5 seconds.
Once your Power Station is operational, slide your Q500
compatible battery into the charge bay, making sure that the
battery is not upside down and that the plug and pins align
correctly. The battery should be firmly inserted into
the Power Station.
At any time, another battery can be installed into the second
charging bay. Both bays are independent of each other so
charging two packs at once does not impede performance.
This charger supports 6A charge rates for both charge bays. A
pack that has been completely discharged in an airframe will
take roughly 60-70 minutes to become fully charged. (A standard
Yuneec charger will take around 120-130 minutes.) Charging two
batteries at the same time does not increase the
overall charge time.
The Venom Q500 Power Station features a handy 2.3A USB output
allowing easy charging of your transmitter or other accessories.

3. TFT SCREEN DISPLAY OVERVIEW
Each bays TFT Screen displays important information during
the charging process. The upper left corner will display IDLE
when not in use, CHG when charging and FULL when the
battery is completely charged. Here you will also see a small
battery that represents the overall state of charge for the pack.
The upper right corner displays the elapsed time since the
battery was first placed on the charger.
Your Yuneec Q500 battery is comprised of three individual
lithium Ion cells assembled into one pack. The Venom Q500
Power Station allows you to monitor the voltage of each
individual cell within the battery via by the way of the three
large battery images on the display.
NOTE: Should you find that there are cells in your battery that
do not charge to 4.20V it is highly recommended you remove
that battery from service.

malfunction is observed immediately terminate the process and refer to the operation manual.
• Keep the charger away from dust, water, heat, direct sunlight and vibration.
• The circuit of this unit can be powered by AC 100-240V power source.
• This unit and the battery to be charged or discharged should only be set upon a heat resistant,
non-flammable and non-conductive surface. Never charge on a car seat, carpet or similar
surface. Keep all flammable or volatile materials well away from operating area.
• Be sure to understand the specifications of the battery to be charged or discharged. Lithium
