Battery Charging

Celectra™ 1-Cell 3.7V Variable Rate DC Li-Po 

Charger  

1S 3.7V 500mAh 12C Li-Po Battery Pack (E-flite 

EFLB5001S)

The Blade mQX 1S Li-Po battery features a JST connec-

tor that allows you to safely charge your battery pack 

when used with the included Li-Po charger and charge 

adapter. The included flight battery is safe to charge up 

to 2C (1.0 Amp).
Use only Horizon Hobby approved battery packs and 

chargers compatible with this product.

1.  Connect the power supply to an appropriate power 

source.

2.  Insert the output plug from the power supply into the power input slot of the Variable Rate Charger.
3.  Select the appropriate charge current for your 

battery by pushing the + or -, which are the smaller buttons to the right and left of the middle button. (When 

charging your 500mAh battery, set the charger to 0.7 amps.)

4.  Connect the charge adapter to the Charger lead. Match the red dots on both the charge adapter and the 

Charger lead.

5.  Properly connect the battery to the Charger lead. Match the red dots on both the battery and charger  

connectors.

6.  Press and release the start button on the variable rate charger (the largest button in the middle).

A fully charged flight battery can yield flight times of up to ten minutes. 

AC Power Supply Cautions and Guidelines

NEVER attempt to power the charger from an AC outlet without the use of a proper AC to DC adapter/power 

supply.
DO NOT connect charged or discharged Li-Po batteries if the power supply is connected to the charger while the 

power supply is not connected to a power source. Doing so will discharge and possibly damage the batteries.
For AC operation, only use an E-flite® 6V power supply with this charger. DO NOT use a 12V power supply or 

property damage and injury could occur.

1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Flip the Quad-Copter upside-down and install the battery by sliding it into the battery mounting slot below the 

PC Board. Slide the battery into the slots with the label facing upward so that the battery key, molded into the 

battery end-cap, comes in contact with the key on the battery slot. (This key indicates the FRONT of the Quad-

Copter in “+” flight mode).

4. Connect the battery cable to the 4-in-1 control unit.

NOTICE:

 Do not allow the Quad-Copter to move until the LED on the 4-in-1 control unit is solid blue (not blinking).

CAUTION: 

Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft when not flying to avoid over- 

discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may 
become damaged,  resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are charged.
