BATTERY CHARGING
Your Cyclone comes with a 3.7v 500mAh battery installed and is ready to race! Please follow the instructions below to charge the battery when needed.
- Use a Phillips screwdriver (not included) to open the hatch on the black side of the Cyclone
- Remove the battery
- Plug it into the included USB charger until you hear a “click”
- Plug the USB charger into a USB port – the USB light will turn red
- Charge until the light turns off
- Plug back into the Cyclone, replace the hatch and get back in the race
NOTE Charging times vary, but typically take 1-2 hours for a full charge.
(TIP: You can increase battery life by fully depleting and fully recharging
your battery each time. You can also use a 5V 2A AC adapter (not included) for
faster charging.)
LI-PO BATTERY DISPOSAL & RECYCLING
Do not put lithium-polymer batteries in household trash. Please contact your
local waste management agency or U-Po battery recycling center for more info.
LI-PO BATTERY CARE
Avoid Overheating
Your batteries will sometimes be warm/hot to the touch after use. This is
normal, but beware that battery components will fail if not allowed to cool
down between uses. Also, do not leave batteries exposed to direct sunlight.
Store Properly
Store batteries at room temperature, between SC°/40°F and 27°C/80°F.
Use Carefully
- Leave time between charging and using the battery
- To extend the lifetime of the battery, always keep about 20% of the power remaining in the RC car battery (rather than completely draining it)
- If the battery is pushed beyond its limits, the battery could get hot and the performance will drop
- When using the battery for a long time, the battery will increase in temperature. If it is sealed, the air inside will inflate rapidly causing further heating
Charging
- DO NOT overcharge the battery; never charge batteries unattended, and stop charging as soon as your batteries indicate they are charged
- DO NOT attempt to charge batteries that appear damaged in any way (cracking, swelling, discoloration, etc.)
- If you feel a battery isn’t charging properly, try using another charger if possible. If you find your battery or charger is defective, please visit forced rc.com for a replacement, or email us at supporaforcelrc.com
- To inspect a battery, remove it from the device and examine the battery, battery pins, and contacts. If you notice damage, please visit forcelrc.com for a replacement, or email us at supportekforcelrc.com
- Check your battery and connections after every crash
- Please use genuine factory parts and replacements from forcelrc.com

DO NOT LEAVE BATTERY CHARGING UNSUPERVISED
CAUTION
- Keep fingers, hair, and loose clothing away from the Cyclone while it is on
