WARNING

Immediately after each flight, disconnect the fan power batteries from the ESC. If this procedure is not followed, the ESC will continue to draw a small amount of current from the batteries eventually depleting them below minimum voltage and possibly ruin the entire set of packs.

 

Connecting the Batteries to the ESC

It is a simple operation, but done incorrectly, can be harmful to the batteries.

        The R/C link must be active (on) and the throttle and trim lever in the full aft (off) position. For the first operation of a new setup, be certain that the throttle channel is not reversed. The E.S.C. is set correctly at BVM and test run so it is not reversed.
Connect the Saddle Cells™ to the two male legs of the "Y" harness. A slight spark is going to occur during the connecting process (to E.S.C.) so be prepared for it.

        Observe the female end of the "Y" harness Dean's connector. It is best to aim the brass male pins at the plastic side of the positive and negative receptacles.

        The connection should be a smooth and deliberate action, starting with the positive (horizontal pin of the "T") first and rotating the connector together to engage the negative vertical pin.
Do not hesitate during the connection process.
The proper technique minimizes the spark and reduces erosion of the connectors.
