 5. Push the start button to begin the charging process.
Once this is done, the charger will make an audible beep
that matches the cell count, and then the red (charge)
LED will begin to flash. Do not adjust the current once the
charger has begun to charge.
Note: At times, the green LED may also flash during
the charging process, indicating that the charger is
balancing one or more of the cells at the same time it
is charging the battery pack. When this is occurring,
the red and green LEDs will both be flashing. It will not
always be necessary for the cells to be balanced.
 6. When the battery pack is fully charged, you will hear
an audible beep for about 3 seconds, and the green LED
will be solid. Always unplug the battery from the charger
immediately upon completion. Failure to do so could
cause a fire.
Note: Lithium Polymer batteries, commonly known as
LiPos, are not quite like other batteries.
First, they do not develop any sort of memory
characteristics due to partial use or partial charging.
They can be used as little or as much as needed,
then charged back up to capacity without any loss in
performance.
Second, they do have one quirk that should be
explained. If a LiPo battery is discharged to a voltage
less than about 3.0V per cell (9.0 volts total for the
battery in the Apprentice), then it will be permanently
damaged and cannot be restored. The electronic speed
control in the Apprentice is pre-set to a cutoff voltage that
will not allow the battery to drain less than this amount.
