BATTERY PACK & CHARGER MANUAL

Battery and USB Charger NOT Included

1. NiMH Pack
2. MBC-24JST

MBC-24JST USB Charger
This charger is designed to charge the included 7.2V NiMH Packs only. DO NOT charge any other type of battery. It is NOT intended for LiPo or Li-ion packs; or packs of a lower or higher voltage rating. When connected to a standard USB power source (500 mA or above is recommended), a red LED will light up indicating that the power is ON. During charging the maximum charging current is approx 100mA, and when the pack is fully charged, the charging current will drop. A typical time to fully charge a completed drained battery is 2 hours. After charging, disconnect the USB charger, and the pack. It is normal for the pack itself to feel slightly warm aftar charging.

NOTE: A partly discharged pack will take shorter time to be fully charged. BUT, due to the physiology of the NiMH packs, and their tenancy for memory effect, it is always best to fully discharge and cycle NiMH packs. It may take a few cycles for your pack to reach its full potential.

REMEMBER: younger RC fans must always charge the pack under adult supervision, and never leave the charging pack unattended. The red LED will NOT turn off, it only indicates that USB power is present. It is advised that you set a timer to independently notify you when the 2 hour charge cycle is complete. Failure to adhere to the correct charging procedure can lead to permanent damage to the pack, and in extreme cases, fire or personal injury. Charge smart, charge safe, follow guidelines.
