battery RECOMMENDATIONS

Charge the battery while turned off (the “O” will be pressed down, and the “I” will be raised up) with the included wall charger.  Always leave the battery in the off position when lights are not in use.

The battery has a light indicator showing charge levels 1-5. When the unit has finished charging, all 5 lights on the battery will be illuminated green and the wall plug light will change from red to green. 

Battery will last approx. 4+ hours on a full charge. Battery will automatically turn off if the power gets too low. Recharge before this happens to extend the life of the battery.

It is recommended to unplug the lighting control module from the battery when it is not in use. Always charge/use/store battery in a LiPo battery bag and never charge unattended.  Safely recycle or dispose of dead, damaged, or puffed battery. Refer to charger and battery manufacturer instructions for specific information. RCBattery has an excellent resource on LiPo battery usage here: https://rcbattery.com/battery-safety-guidelines

The battery will arrive partially charged. Fully charge before use. Always charge/use/store battery in battery bag and never charge unattended. Plug USB cable into a wall charger, then plug both battery leads snugly into charger as shown (wire colors may vary). The balance lead on the left will have the 4 slots facing up as shown. There are 5 pins in the charger. When you plug in the balance lead the right pin will not be used.

• Long press left button to select LiPo, short press to select 1A. Press the play/pause button (right button) to start charging. The orange lightning bolt will light up while charging.
• The bars show the battery charge from 20-100%. When the charge is complete, all 5 bars will be illuminated and the green checkmark will light up.
• A red exclamation mark shows there is an error. Most often this means the battery leads are not plugged in firmly enough, or the unit is not receiving sufficient power. A good quality wall charger (such as from a cell phone charger) must be used. A laptop or couch USB outlet will not provide enough power to charge the battery. The error may also appear if you are attempting to charge a fully charged battery (full bars).

A small amount of power is drawn when battery is plugged in, even when the lights are sleeping or appear off.  Unplug by grasping the battery plug, not the wires. A 5200mAh battery will last approx. 3 hours and have 30% power remaining. At this point it must be recharged or you risk damaging the battery. If your lights start to look dim or colors display incorrectly, you have gone past this point and need to turn off your lights as soon as safely possible.

Always unplug the battery when it is not in use. Always charge/use/store battery in a LiPo battery bag and never charge unattended.  Safely recycle or dispose of dead, damaged, or puffed battery.
