Quick Start Guide

Battery Charging Steps and Safety:
Remove the battery from the vehicle before charging. Place battery on a fire resistant surface. Avoid any contact with water or other liquids. Be sure to select the correct charging mode for the type of battery you are charging (if applicable).

ALWAYS use a compatible charger for charging your batteries.

Battery Notes and Tip

  • Connect the battery as shown.
  • Disconnect the battery when not in use!
  • LiPo/LiLo: LiPo/LiLo batteries (lithium polymer / Lithium Ion) are high current rechargeable batteries. LiPo/LiLo batteries offer extended run time and peak performance over NiMH batteries. They require a peak detection charger designed specifically for LiPo/LiLo batteries.
  • These batteries require special care and handling.
  • LiPo/LiLo batteries are recommended for advanced users only!
  • ALWAYS charge a LiPo/LiLo battery in LiPo/LiLo mode.
