 LiteHawk MINIs - How To Charge

Your LiteHawk MINIs come with a Li-Po battery which is inside the model. The rechargeable Li-Po battery provides the power to propel your model at high speeds. You should expect 8-12 min run time. However you do need to make sure to properly maintain your Li-Po Battery. - Li-Po batteries don’t like to be run down too low. If the voltage is dropped dramatically they will be damaged and will not recharge! Once the model starts to slow, drive your model to a safe place, walk over and turn it off. - It is recommend to charge the battery after your run and to always store the battery with a charge. Never discharge or dead short a Li-Po battery! Always have your model turned off when not in use. Make sure the switch is turned OFF.

1/ Plug the USB into your computer, TV, or USB charger. The LED light on the USB will turn RED.

                                      

2/ Plug the other end of the cable into your Litehawk MINIs battery port located at the side of the model. Do not force the plug, it only goes in one way. The model must have the power switch in the OFF position. The LED light on the USB will turn OFF.

                                      

3/ Charge time can take up to 30 minute (shorter if charging for the first time). Once charged the LED light on the USB will turn back to solid RED.

                                      

Tip: If storing for more than 24 hours it is best to store with a fully charged battery. Failure to do so can damage the battery pack and shorten its useful life.

- Do not leave the battery and charger unattended while charging. - After charging, unplug charger from model.

- Do not store the model plugged into the charger.
