JST Connector
The Lithium polymer (Li-Po) flight battery is a high power battery designed to give a flight time of around 10
minutes per charge. It is supplied in a partially charged state.
When you have finished flying for the day, recharge the battery and always leave it in a partially or fully
charged state. Never leave your battery in a discharged state as this may damage the battery and shorten
it's life.
The battery must be recharged when you notice the Quadcopter is losing power. At this point, land and
recharge the battery.
Do not be tempted to run the battery past this stage as you will be over-discharging and the battery may be
damaged.
WARNING!
We recommend that you use only the supplied twister charger with this battery.
WARNING!
Over-discharging will shorten the life of the battery or damage it. Stop flying immediately the twister
Quad loses power and recharge the battery.
WARNING!
Do not short circuit—battery may explode! See page 22
