However, even before this reduction in power , if you nd that more than the typical amount of throttle/ power

is required to cruise or climb you should land the model and disconnect the battery immediately to prevent

over-discharge. And while it is possible to continue running the model after the soft LVC occurs, this is NOT

recommended. Continued discharging can result in reaching the 5.0V ‘hard’ LVC which may cause permanent

damage to the LiPo battery resulting in reduced power and ight duration during subsequent ghts ( or failure

of the battery entirely which is not covered under warranty).

Also, it is not recommended that you run to the soft LVC every time you run. Instead you should be aware of

the power level of the battery through out, and if at any time the boat begins to require more throttle/power

than typical to maintain speed you should let the boat run back and disconnect the LiPo battery immediately.

Constantly discharging the battery to the soft LVC can still cause permanent damage to the battery so it’s best to

use a timer or stop-watch to time the duration of your running and to stop ying at a reasonable time before the

soft LVC is reached.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

DO NOT LEAVE THE LIPO BATTERY CONNECTED TO THE ESC UNLESS YOU ARE READY TO RUN. IF THE BATTERY

IS LEFT CONNECTED TO THE ESC WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE THE LIPO BATTERY WILL BE OVER-DISCHARGED BY THE

SMALL AMOUNT OF CURRENT THE ESC CONSUMES.

It can sometimes take a few hours or even up to a few days to over-discharge the battery this way but doing so

will likely cause permanent damage to or failure of the battery entirely (which is not covered under warranty).

IMPORTANT NOTE!

DO NOT STORE THE LIPO FLIGHT BATTERY FULLY CHARGED.

For improved safety and longevity of the LiPo battery it’s best to store it only partially charged for any length of

time. Storing the LiPo battery at approximately 50% charged (which is approximately 3.85V per cell) is typically

best, however it will take some careful management of the charge time and the use of a voltmeter to achieve

this voltage.

If you have the equipment and skills to achieve the 50% charge level for storage it is recommended. If not, simply

be sure to not store the battery fully charged whenever possible. In fact ,as long as the battery will be stored at

approximately room temperature and for no more than a few weeks before the next use, it may be best to store

the battery in the discharged state after the last ight (as long as the battery was not over-discharged on the last

ight).
