Battery Charging
E-flite® 1-Cell 3.7V Variable Rate 0.3A DC Li-Po Charger (EFLC1000)
Instructions:
1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged.
Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent,
broken or punctured.
2. Remove the cover on the bottom of the charger and install four of the
included AA batteries, noting proper polarity. Replace the cover after the
AA batteries are installed.
3. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger. The end cap of the
battery is specifically designed to allow the battery to fit into the
slot one way (usually with the label on the battery facing outward) to
prevent reverse polarity connection. However, check for proper alignment
andpolaritybeforeproceedingtothenextstep.
4. Gently press the battery and its connector into the charge jack/connector
located at the bottom of the slot in the charger.
5. When you make the connection successfully, the LED on the charger turns solid red, indicating charging has
begun.

If the LED stays on when the battery is removed, the AA batteries in the charger are low.
8. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.
NOTICE: Only use the included charger. For DC charger operation (AA batteries): only use alkaline AA batteries to
power the charger. Do not use rechargable AA batteries.
