IMPORTANT LIPO PERFORMANCE AND CARE
To get the most performance and safe usage from your LiPo
battery, please read and understand the following information.
CHARGING:
For best performance and longest battery life, never charge
your LiPos at a charge rate higher than 1C. (1000mAh = 1amp).
Never charge your battery pack in the model and always
place your battery in a safe charge container like a LiPo Sack
(GPMP0751) when charging.
DISCHARGING OR OPERATION:
We have found it best to use only 80% of the rated mAh of
the battery pack per discharge (boat run). You will experience
rapid depletion of battery pack performance if you continue to
discharge your packs below the 80% usage target.
NOTE: Your AquaCraft P-27 Gunslinger Motor Controller
has a stutter bump warning system that warns you of low
battery voltage. This system starts its warning at or around
9.7V giving you limited time to bring the boat back to shore
before the motor controller cuts off at 9V total. This is a built in
safety system for you, your boat and your batteries. Although
this system is in place we still recommend adjusting your run
times to not exceed 80% battery usage.
STORAGE:
Store your battery pack/s in a LiPo Sack (GPMP0751) or other
battery containment device. It is also best to store them in
a cool dry place and on a fi re resistant surface. It is best to
charge your batteries to either a full charge (if you feel you
will be using the packs frequently) or at 11.4V (3.8V per cell)
for longer storage.
