Charging The Battery - Sanwa M11X Operating Manual

Charging the battery

The M11X FHSS-3 2.4GHz transmitter features a 6 cell 7.2v 1500mAH NiMH battery for lighter weight and longer battery life.
The battery is charged directly through the transmitter, using the charging jack located at the base of the grip. Please observe the
Safety Precautions and Charging Warnings below when charging the transmitter battery.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND CHARGING WARNINGS
Always follow the charging procedures described below to ensure safe and correct use of your NiMH battery.

The NiMH battery is not charged when purchased. It is necessary to charge the NiMH battery before operation.

Before charging the NiMH battery, double-check that the transmitter power switch is in the OFF position.

Overcharging reduces the life of the battery and can result in electrolyte spills, overheating, and bursting. This may cause

personal injury and/or property damage.
Do not throw the NiMH battery or abuse it in any manner. Do not dispose of the NiMH battery in the fire or allow it to overheat.

Do not short-circuit the NiMH battery terminals with wire or any other object.

CHARGING THE TRANSMITTER BATTERY
1) Plug the round connector from the charger into the charging
jack in the grip of the transmitter.
2) Plug the supplied charger into a AC power wall socket. The
charger LED will illuminate red indicating that the charger
is plugged in and charging.
3) Transmitter charger output is 150mAH, therefore, it will take
approximately 10 hours to recharge a fully-discharged
battery. We suggest leaving the charger on overnight.
Charger Specifications
Model: OE-156CE
OE-156CU(UK)
Input Voltage: 100~240v
Tx Output Voltage: 8.5v@150mAH
If the charger is plugged in to the wall socket, but not to the charging jack in the transmitter, the LED will illuminate green.
It's safe to charge a full-discharged battery from 10 to 15 hours. We do not suggest allowing the battery to charge for more
than 15 hours.
An after-market peak-detection charger can be used to charge the NiMH transmitter battery, however, the battery must
first be removed from the transmitter to be charged. The
charger's normal operation, resulting in over-charging and damaging the battery and possibly the transmitter itself.
USING A TRANSMITTER LIPO BATTERY
An after-market Li-Po battery can be used in place of the stock 6 Cell 7.2v 1500mAH NiMH transmitter battery. If you decide to
replace the stock battery with a Li-Po battery, please observe the following:
Use ONLY a 2 Cell 7.4v Li-Po battery of desired capacity. DO NOT USE A 3 CELL 11.1V LI-PO BATTERY.

You MUST remove the battery from the transmitter to charge the battery.

Do NOT use the charger included with the transmitter to charge a Li-Po battery. You MUST use a dedicated Li-Po battery

charger.
When you change the connector on your Li-Po battery, please observe correct polarity.

or
circuitry within the transmitter will interfere with the peak-detection
