Installing the Battery Pack
1. Loosen the 2 screws on the rear of the canopy.
2. Carefully lift the rear of the canopy and pull back to
disengage the 2 front pins from the hull.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may
damage the battery.The included ESC protects the boat
battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff
(LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much,
LVC removes power supplied to the motor.
Power to the motor will be reduced significantly, showing
that the battery has reached the minimum LVC threshold.
The ESC is programmed to allow enough battery power
to drive back to shore from a maximum of 100 yards
(45m), at no more than ¼ throttle.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the boat
after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po
battery to about half capacity before storage. During
storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-
discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated operation to LVC will damage the
battery.
Tip: Monitor your boat battery's voltage before and
after boating by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker
(EFLA111, sold separately).

3. Install the battery in the compartment. Secure it with
the hook and loop straps. If running your boat in
rougher water conditions, the use of Waterproof Hook
and Loop Tape (DYNK0300) may also be needed to
fully secure the battery.
4. Connect the battery pack to the ESC power
connector.
Tip: Move the pack forward or back to adjust the
center of gravity for your boat. Move the pack toward
the bow so the bow rides lower in the water. Move
the pack away from the bow so that the bow rides
higher in the water.
Battery Chemistry
The ESC comes from the factory in Li-Po Mode. To
change battery chemistry:
1. Keep the throttle at neutral and power ON the ESC.
2. Press and hold the Battery Chemistry Button on the
power switch for 3 seconds. The LED flashes the
current battery chemistry (red = Ni-MH or Ni-Cd,
green = Li-Po).
3. Continue holding the Battery Chemistry Button
for another 6 seconds. The ESC changes battery
chemistry and the LED flashes the new battery
chemistry.
4. Power OFF the ESC. The ESC saves the setting until
it is changed.
