• Proper charging procedure

1. The battery pack is shipped about 50% charged. For optimum performance, charge the battery

pack to 100% using a Hypersonic

on the battery pack to the vehicles power input

connector. Note: The battery pack balancing connector should not be connected during usage,

only during charging.

2. The pack may be discharged normally – no modification of ESC cutoff voltage is necessary.

Standard cutoff voltage is 2V per cell.

3. The maximum allowable battery surface temperature is 71°C (160°F) – if this temperature is

reached discharge should be stopped to prevent damage to the battery.

4. If pack is involved in a crash, remove immediately and inspect for leakage or abnormal heating;

if any of these conditions are present, set pack in a safe place and monitor for 15 minutes, then

dispose of in the proper manner.
