Charging the Aircraft Battery
The ParkZone DC Peak charger uses unique peak
detection circuitry that ensures an accurate charge
every time and protects your Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries
from the dangers of over-charging. This charger
continually monitors the battery’s charge curve and
automatically stops charging when the peak charge is
detected. The peak detection charger will help avoid
damaging Ni-Cd and Ni-MH cells.
Important : The battery should be charged shortly
before flying. If you charge the battery 12 to 24 hours
prior to flying, you will need to “re-peak” the battery
before you fly.
Notice : You cannot charge option Li-Po battery
packs with the ParkZone DC Peak charger included
with this kit. You must use a Li-Po specific battery
charger. Failure to follow this warning could result
in a fire.
Note : Charge time is an
estimate only of fully discharged
battery pack. Actual charge
times may vary.
DC Peak Detection Charger Features:
• Variable charge rate from 0.5 – 1.8 amps
• Trickle charge
• Uses automobile 12V power outlet
• Charges 5 – 10 cell Ni-Cd and Ni-MH battery packs
• LED charge indicator
