🔋 Charging Guidelines
| Charger Type |
LiPo balance charger (IMAX B6, SkyRC, etc.) |
| Charge Rate |
1C = 2.2A (recommended for longevity) |
| Fast Charge |
2C = 4.4A max (reduces battery life) |
| Charge Time (1C) |
~60-70 minutes from storage voltage |
| Charge Time (2C) |
~30-40 minutes from storage voltage |
| Balance Charging |
Always use balance lead – equalizes cells |
| Charge Voltage |
4.2V per cell (12.6V total) |
| Never Exceed |
4.2V per cell – causes fire/damage! |

🔍 Troubleshooting
| Battery Swollen/Puffy |
⚠️ STOP USING! Dispose safely – battery damaged |
| Won’t Charge |
Check cell voltages – if below 3.0V, may be unrecoverable |
| Unbalanced Cells |
>0.1V difference – balance charge several times |
| Short Flight Time |
Battery aging, check internal resistance |
| Gets Very Hot |
Over-discharging or damaged – replace battery |
| Voltage Drops Fast |
Weak battery or excessive current draw |
