CHARGE AND INSTALL
THE FLIGHT BATTERY
WARNING!!
Read the entire instruction sheet included with
the battery and charger. Failure to follow all instructions could
cause permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings,
and cause bodily harm!
• ONLY use a LiPo approved charger. NEVER use a NiCd/
NiMH peak charger!
• NEVER leave battery unattended when charging!
• NEVER charge in excess of 4.20V per cell.
• ONLY charge through the “charge” lead. NEVER charge
through the “discharge” lead.
• NEVER charge at currents greater than 1C.
• ALWAYS set charger’s output volts to match battery volts.
• ALWAYS charge in a fi reproof location.
• NEVER trickle charge.
• NEVER allow battery temperature to exceed 150° F [65° C].
• NEVER disassemble or modify pack wiring in any way or
puncture cells.
• NEVER discharge below 2.5V per cell.
• NEVER place on combustible materials or leave unattended
during charge or discharge.
• ALWAYS KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
✰
1. Cut a 2" [57mm] piece of the loop side from the included self-
adhesive hook and loop material and stick it to your fl ight battery.
✰
2. Remove the battery hatch from the bottom of the plane by
lifting the aft end of the hatch away from the fuse.
✰
3. Install the fl ight battery onto the battery tray.

Necessary Transmitter Settings
For proper ESC operation, it’s very important to set the
transmitter’s throttle channel adjustments as follows:
1. Set the throttle trim to zero.
2. Set the throttle channel’s reversing switch to reverse on Futaba
transmitters. Other transmitters might require you to set the
throttle reversing switch to normal.
Connecting the Battery
WARNING! Never accidentally short together the positive (+)
and negative (-) battery connections! Doing so will result in
permanent damage to the battery and possible fi re hazard.
SuperTigre ESCs have a unique “ST” type polarized battery
connector as shown here, which is custom-matched to the
connector on SuperTigre LiPo batteries. These plugs are
polarized and cannot accidentally be connected backwards.
IMPORTANT!
The battery must be fully charged BEFORE being
connected to the ESC. The ESC will then
automatically set the low voltage cut-off point based
on the INITIAL voltage of the battery multiplied by 0.67. So, if
the battery is NOT fully charged when connected to the ESC,
the ESC may set a low voltage cut-off that is too low, and may
not be good for your battery. Make sure the battery is fully
charged prior to every use.
LOW VOLTAGE CUT-OFF:
SuperTigre ESCs include a low-
voltage cut-off feature that stops motor rotation if the battery’s
voltage drops too low. This protects the battery from damage
due to under-voltage conditions. When the low voltage cut-off
stops motor rotation, it will still supply power to the receiver and
all control surfaces except throttle. You can therefore maintain
control of the aircraft.
