CHARGING THE Ni-Cd BATTERIES
Charging Your System’s Batteries
1. Connect the transmitter charging jack and airborne Ni-Cd batteries to the transmitter and receiver connectors of the charger.
2. Plug the charger into a wall socket.
3. Check that the charger LED lights.
The initial charge, and any charge after a complete discharge,
should be at least 18 hours to ensure full charge. The batteries
should be left on charge for about 15 hours when recharging the
standard NR-4J, NR4F1500 and NT8S700B Ni-Cd batteries.
We recommend charging the batteries with the charger sup-
plied with your system. Note that the use of a fast charger may
damage the batteries by overheating and dramatically reduce
their lifetime.
You should fully discharge your system’s Ni-Cd batteries periodically to prevent a condition called memory.
For example, if you only make two flights each session, or you regularly use only a small amount of the batteries
capacity, thememory effect can reduce the actual capacity even if the battery is fully charged. You can cycle your
batteries with a commercial cycling unit*, or by leaving the system on and exercising the servos by moving the
transmitter sticks until the transmitter shuts itself off. Cycling should be done every four to eight weeks, even during
the winter or periods of long storage. Keep track of the batteries capacity during cycling; if there is a noticeable
change, you may need to replace the batteries.
*Note that the 9C super transmitter system has electronic protection from overcharging and reverse polarity via a poli-switch. It does
NOT have a diode in the charge circuit and may be discharged/peak charged with the battery in the transmitter.
DO NOT attempt to charge your 8-cell transmitter pack on the 4-cell receiver plug of the wall charger!
