PREPARATIONS
Before starting to assemble the Sensei, we recommend
charging the motor battery. Then, when you are ready to set
up the radio system, the motor battery can be used to power
the receiver.
Charge the Battery
The following is an overview of how to charge your motor
battery using the ElectriFly Smart Charger. If you are using a
different LiPo charger, carefully follow the instructions included
with the charger.
1. Connect the input power to the charger. The GREEN LED
will be lit, indicating standby mode. The RED LED will be OFF.
2. Connect the battery to be charged to the balance plug.
The RED LED will also be lit, and remain RED during the
charging. Both LEDs should be lit solid while charging.
3. If the battery was completely discharged, the RED and
GREEN LEDs will start to fl ash after 2-hours and 40-minutes.
The charger has a built in safety timer.
4. Disconnect the battery from the charger, wait for the GREEN
LED to be lit, and then reconnect the battery to the charger.
5. It will take approximately 1-1/2 hours more to complete
the charge. When the battery is fully charged, the GREEN
LED will turn OFF. Remove the battery from the charger
at this time.
6. Charging time depends on the level of discharge of the
battery and if the battery cells were unbalanced.

ERROR*
*Possible sources of battery error may include a highly unbalanced
pack, charger timed out, or one cell of the pack which is low voltage. In
the case of a battery error, please remove the battery pack from the
charger and inspect it carefully for swelling or any other damage, such
as broken wires.
Battery Charging Precautions
● Be careful to avoid overcharging the battery. Only use a LiPo
approved charger. Never use a NiCd/NiMH peak charger.
● Remember to check the temperature of the battery during
the charge. The battery should not get hot. If it does, unplug
the battery from the charger.
● Charge the battery at a maximum charge rate of 2.1 amps.
A higher charge rate will cause the battery to get hot.
● Never place the battery on combustible material or leave it
unattended while charging.
