Charging the Battery

The Battery Charging Process

1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to 

make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

2.  Remove the cover on the bottom of the charger and install four of the included AA batteries, 

noting proper polarity.  Replace the cover after the AA batteries are installed.

3.  Slide the battery into the slot on the charger.  The end cap of the battery is specifically designed 

to allow the battery to fit into the slot one way (usually with the label on the battery facing 
outward) to prevent reverse polarity connection.  However, check for proper alignment and 
polarity before proceeding to the next step.

4.  Gently press the battery and its connector into the charge jack/connector located at the bottom 

of the slot in the charger.

5.  When you make the connection successfully, the LED on the charger turns solid red, indicating 

charging has begun.

6.  Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 150mAh battery takes approximately 30–40 

minutes.  As the battery nears full charge, the LED begins to blink. 

7. When the battery is fully charged, the LED blinks approximately every 20 seconds or goes out 

entirely. 

Note:

 If the LED stays on when the battery is removed, the AA batteries in the charger 

are low.

8. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging. 
     

CAUTION:

 Overcharging a battery can cause a fire.

Your F4U Corsair comes with a 1S 3.7V Li-Po 
Battery Charger and 1S Li-Po battery. It is 
important that you only charge with the 
included charger, or the E-fl ite® Celectra™ 
4-port Charger (EFLC1004).  The fl ight battery 
will be required to confi rm proper aircraft 
operation in future steps.
