Warnings & Usage Guidelines
WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries.
All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury.
Mishandling LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or using LiPo batteries, you assume all risks
associated with LiPo batteries.
The user declares that he/she has read and understood all safety instructions before use, agrees to take full
responsibility of results caused by improper use, and will not hold Action Drone, Inc. (including, but not limited to
its resellers, vendors, and/or affiliates) accountable whatsoever. See Battery Safety Handling in Safety section.
Battery Charger
While the charger is capable of charging the battery, it also can perform other primary functions such as cell
balancing and discharging. Never leave battery charger unattended while charging. Always unplug fully charged
batteries from charger (listen for beeping alerts).
Battery Use
Flight times should never exceed the alarm timer limit value programmed into the radio. Exceeding the timer
value is at your own risk. Follow the safety instructions on the Li-Po battery. Practice safe-handling when using
and storing Li-Po batteries. Never fully drain battery charge upon use.
The two Li-Po batteries (each 6300-8000 mAh, 6s, 25c) are securely mounted end-to-end onto the AD2
battery tray, by use of velcro surfaces and secured straps. Once secured, align the tray to the bolt and washers
underneath the frame, then slide the tray to lock. Always perform your battery connections on the ground.
Connect each battery to its corresponding XT-60 connector.
To disconnect from the AD2 frame, detach both batteries’ XT-60 plugs and pinch the tray lock (on back end) to
release. Be careful to support the battery weight while slowly sliding out the tray.
Battery Life
The battery life meter can be checked using either the battery charger (prior to flight), a portable LiPo Voltage
Checker and Balancer (not included), or by viewing the OSD on the FPV screen during flight. During flight, when
the battery is at 15-20% battery life, we recommend landing the drone. Never fully drain battery charge upon use.
