BATTERY CAPACITY MAX. CHARGE RATE CHARGE TIME
Charging the Aircraft Battery
The included variable rate DC peak charger uses
unique circuitry that ensures an accurate charge for the
9-cell 1000mAh Ni-MH battery pack every time. It also
protects the battery from being over-charged, which
can damage the battery pack. The charger constantly
monitors the battery pack’s charge curve and then
automatically switches from fast charge to trickle when
the battery is fully charged.
Important : Always charge your ParkZone ™ 9-cell
Ni-MH battery pack shortly before flying. NEVER
charge a Li-Po battery pack with the included DC
peak charger. Lithium polymer batteries are
significantly more volatile than Ni-Cd or Ni-MH
batteries used in R/C applications. All manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings must be followed closely.
Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in fire.
Variable Rate DC Peak Charger Features:
• Variable charge rates from .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
Charging the 9-cell 10.8V Aircraft Battery
1. Using the dial on the side of the charger, adjust the
charge rate to 1.4 amps.
2. Connect the battery pack to the charger.
3. Connect the charger to the 12V power outlet in
your automobile. The LED on the charger will
continually blink when the charger is fast charging.
4. When the LED glows steadily, the battery is
fully charged and the charger has automatically
switched to trickle charge. Approximate charge
time for a fully discharged battery pack at a charge
rate of 1.4 amps is 40 minutes.
Note : Never leave the charger and battery
unattended during the charge process. While
charging, place the battery on a heat-resistant
surface and constantly monitor the battery’s
temperature. If the battery becomes hot at any time
during the charge process, discontinue charging
immediately. Do not allow children to charge battery
packs without adult supervision.
