1. Loosen the screw on the rear of the canopy.
2. Disengage the front of the canopy from the hull and
remove the canopy.
3. Install the battery in the compartment. Secure it with
the hook and loop straps. If running your boat in rougher
water conditions, the use of hook and loop tape may
also be needed to fully secure the battery.
4. Connect the battery pack to the ESC power connector.
Installing the Battery Pack
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may damage
your battery. The included ESC protects the boat battery
from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before
the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes
power supplied to the motor. Power to the motor pulses,
showing that some battery power is reserved for boat
control and safe landing.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the boat
after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po
battery to about half capacity before storage. During
storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-
discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated operation to LVC will damage the
battery.
Tip: Monitor your boat battery’s voltage before and after
boating by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (EFLA111,
sold separately).
Battery Chemistry
The ESC comes from the factory in Li-Po Mode. To change
battery chemistry:
1. Keep the throttle at neutral and power ON the ESC.
2. Press and hold the Battery Chemistry Button on the
power switch for 3 seconds. The LED flashes the
current battery chemistry (red = Ni-MH, green = Li-Po).
3. Continue holding the Battery Chemistry Button for
another 6 seconds. The ESC changes battery chemistry
and the LED flashes the new battery chemistry.
4. Power OFF the ESC. The ESC saves the setting until it
is changed.
