Charging The Flight Battery - Reely Piper J-3 Cub 2.0 RtF Notice D'emploi

When new batteries or freshly charged rechargeable batteries have been inserted, switch on the transmitter with the
function switch (see figure 2, pos. 6) for test purposes. The red and green light diode (see figure 2, pos. 2 and 11) light
up and signal that way that the transmitter is sufficiently supplied with power.
If the power supply is no longer sufficient for proper operation of the transmitter (below 8.3 V), the red light diode (see
figure 2, pos. 11) starts to flash. In this case, stop operation of your model as quickly as possible.
In order to avoid the memory effect of NiCd rechargeable batteries, you should only recharge them when the re-
chargeable batteries are completely discharged.

10. Charging the flight battery

• Before the final assembly of the model, you should
charge the flight battery (1). An appropriate plug-in bat-
tery charger (2) is included in the delivery.
• Connect the flight battery with the connector that is
protected against polarity reversal (3) of the plug-in
charger. The catch (4) on the charger plug must arrest
in the groove of the accumulator plug.
• Then connect the plug-in charger to a mains socket.
For photo-technical reasons, the charging ca-
ble of the plug-in mains unit is illustrated in the
wound-up state. Before the first use, the cable
retainer should be opened and the cable be un-
wound.
Important!
The charging process is completed after approx. 2.5 to 3 hours. After that, the rechargeable battery has to
be disconnected from the battery charger and the battery charger disconnected from the mains socket.
If the rechargeable battery is only partly discharged, the charging process must be stopped earlier. For
that purpose, check the temperature of the rechargeable battery manually in regular intervals. Once the re-
chargeable battery is completely charged, the charging current is completely transformed into heat. Thus,
the temperature of the rechargeable battery increases noticeably.
Attention!
A fully charged battery or a switch*off of the charging current is not automatically identified.
