Disconnect the battery when not in use!

LiPo/LiLo: LiPo/LiLo batteries (lithium polymer / Lithium Ion) are

high current rechargeable batteries. LiPo/LiLo batteries offer

extended run time and peak performance over NiMH batteries.

They require a peak detection charger designed specifically for

LiPo/LiLo batteries.

These batteries require special care and handling.

LiPo/LiLo batteries are recommended for advanced users only!

ALWAYS charge a LiPo/LiLo battery in LiPo/LiLo mode.

If using optional battery for transmitter, be sure to plug

it in correctly. Plugging in a battery backwards can
