Battery warnings low voltage cutoff (lvc) – ParkZone PKZU1380 User Manual

Page 4

The Battery Charger (EFLC1007) included with the Mosquito BNF has been designed to safely
charge the Li-Po battery.

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po

batteries can result in a fi re, personal injury, and/or property damage.

• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery you assume all risks associated
with lithium batteries.
• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately. If

charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or

discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in fi re.
• Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results.
• Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a temperature range of 40-120º F. Do
not store battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can
be damaged or even catch fi re.
• Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
• NEVER USE A Ni-Cd OR Ni-MH CHARGER. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible

charger may cause fi re resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.
• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.
• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.

Battery Warnings

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V, it will not hold a charge. The Mosquito ESC
protects the fl ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the
battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supply from the motors. Power to the
motors quickly decreases and increases, showing some battery power is reserved for fl ight
control and safe landing.

When the motor power decreases then increases, please land the aircraft immediately and
recharge the fl ight battery.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge.
Before storage, charge the Li-Po battery to full capacity. During storage make sure battery
charge does not go below 3V per cell.

NOTICE: Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the battery.
