Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

Battery Installation

Battery Selection

• We recommend the E-ﬂ ite 3200mAh 22.2V 6S Li-Po battery

(EFLB32006S30). Refer to the Optional Parts List for other E-ﬂ ite batteries.

If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the

range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-ﬂ ite Li-Po battery packs

to ﬁ t in the fuselage without changing the center of gravity a large amount.

1. Press the latch button (A) to lift the rear edge of the canopy hatch, then pull

the hatch up and back from the fuselage.

2. Apply the included strip of hook and loop tape to the bottom of your

battery(s).

3. For the recommended CG, install the battery(s) in the middle of the com-

partment, then press the battery(s) onto the hook and loop strip. Close the 2

hook and loop straps around the battery(s). See the Adjusting the Center

of Gravity instructions for more information.

4. Connect a fully charged battery(s) to the ESC. See the Arming the ESC

instructions for correct connection of the battery to the ESC.

5. Reinstall the canopy hatch.

Tip: The ESC switch in the front left corner of the battery compart-

ment must be powered on for Arming the ESC.

Dual Battery Setup

An optional Y-harness (EFLAEC308 sold separately), is available to connect

(2) 3S Li-Po batteries in series to the ESC instead of (1) 6S Li-Po battery.

If (2) 3S Li-Po batteries are used, join them in a stack using hook and loop

strips. Secure the battery stack in place using the instructions described in

steps 2 and 3 above.

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.

The ESC protects the ﬂ ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cut-

off (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power

supplied to the motor. Power to the motor pulses, showing that some battery

power is reserved for ﬂ ight control and safe landing. When the motor pulses,

land the aircraft immediately and recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent

trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before stor-

age. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per

cell.

TIP: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after ﬂ ying by

using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (EFLA111, sold separately).
