4 E-flite Apprentice Assembly Manual

Charging the Flight Battery

Your Apprentice can be ready to fly in as little time as it takes

to charge the flight battery. Since this takes approximately 60

minutes, let's get the battery charging right away so it's on

charge while you're assembling your new Apprentice. That way

you can start flying as soon as possible.

Required Parts

Charger

3200 3S 11.1V LiPo battery

Power supply or 12-volt battery (not included)

Note: The battery charger can be connected to a power

supply or 12-volt battery. For the pictures in this manual

we will show the use of a power supply.

 1. Connect the charger to a 12-volt battery or 12-volt

power supply. Connect the red lead to the positive (+)

terminal of the power supply or battery. Connect the

black lead to the negative (-) terminal of the power

supply or 12-volt battery. Once your charger has been

correctly powered up, there will be an approximate

3-second delay and then you will hear an audible “beep”

and the green (ready) LED will flash.

 2. Select the proper number of cells that you will be charging. Your Apprentice includes a 3-cell flight pack, so set the charger to 3 cells.  3. Set the charge rate for your battery to 3 amps.  4. Locate the balance charge lead on the battery pack. The charge lead of a 3-cell LiPo battery will plug into the larger 4-pin port on the bottom right of the charger. A 2-cell pack will need to plug into the 3-pin port on bottom left of the charger.

 5. Push the start button to begin the charging process. Once this is done, the charger will make an audible beep that matches the cell count, and then the red (charge) LED will begin to flash. Do not adjust the current once the charger has begun to charge. Note: At times, the green LED may also flash during the charging process, indicating that the charger is balancing one or more of the cells at the same time it is charging the battery pack.
