BRUSHLESS POWER SYSTEM
Batteries:
TheRadientReaktorESCcanoperatewithLiPo/LiFeandNiCd/NiMH(NiXX)batterieswhichrequiredifferentLVCoperatingmodes.Itisextremely
importanttochoosethecorrectoperatingmodetoworkwithyourbatteries.Choosingthewrongchargingmodecancauseover-discharge
ofyourLiXXtypebatterieswhichcouldleadtoreorexplosion.Besuretoproperlyidentifythebatterychemistryandvoltageofeverypack

WARNING: Always ensure the connector polarity is correct ( [+] to [+] and [-] to [-] ) before connecting the battery
to the ESC. The Reaktor ESC uses a RED wire for [+] and a BLACK wire for [-]. If you connect a battery to the ESC
with reverse polarity, the ESC WILL be damaged and this will not be covered under warranty.
