Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V, the battery may become damaged and may no longer accept a charge. The nano QX 4-in-1 control unit protects the fl ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC becomes active.
3. Always disconnect the fl ight battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging. CAUTION: Only use chargers specifi cally designed to charge the included Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result in fi re, causing injury or property damage. CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
