  • Page 6: Battery Charging

    AERO-107 Manual TLR Drones Battery Charging Aero-107 is powered by a rechargeable lithium polymer (LiPo) battery. Store (more than 30 days)the battery at half charge, then charge fully before flying. Batteries must ship at half charge, so please charge before your first flight. Each full battery provides approximately 60 minutes of flight time.
  • Page 7 AERO-107 Manual TLR Drones Step 3: If LiPo charge is not selected when you power on the charger press the Batt Type (the left-most button) until it says LiPo then press the start button on the far right. Step 4: After selecting Li Po, pressing the start button again will allow you to change the amps.
