7. Col·locació de la bateria: Place the LiPo battery in its designated compartment, ensuring it is secured and does not shift during flight.

5. Càrrega de la bateria

Although batteries are often sold separately, proper charging is crucial for safety and performance. Use only compatible LiPo chargers.

1. Using the B3 Balance Charger (e.g., B3 balance 2s 3s):
   • Connect the B3 balance charger to a suitable power source.
   • Connect the balance plug of your 2S or 3S LiPo battery to the corresponding port on the charger.
   • The charger will indicate when charging is complete (e.g., LED indicator changes color).

   

2. Using the USB Charging Cable (e.g., 2S 3PIN USB line):
   • Connect the USB charging cable (2S 3PIN USB line) to a USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
   • Connect the 3-pin connector of the USB cable to the balance port of your 2S LiPo battery.
   • Monitor the charging process. Disconnect once the battery is fully charged.

   

Important: Never leave charging batteries unattended. Disconnect the battery immediately if you notice any swelling, smoke, or excessive heat.
