I use a Thunder AC6 Balance Charger. It has worked great. The Balance Charger that comes with it works OK to a point. The white plug is the plug for charging. That's the Balance charging plug.

Just disconnect the battery leads and connect them to the charger. The nice feature about this is you do not have to remove the battery.

With the charger for about 8 hours. I have heard that the battery can explode (it did not happened to me) so, when I charge it, I put it on the ceramic tiles.

It's relatively simple, there should be a wire coming out of the canopy, attach that wire to the red charger that came with your rc , make sure that the heli is off and let it charge for a few hours

My unit came with a 18v battery charger unit #725-05031. I don't know of any other way to charge up the battery.

Make sure that the batteries are fully charged in both the Transmitter and the v911 before attempting to bind. Try binding with the transmitter several feet away from the v911. Turn on transmitter and while its booting up insert battery into helicopter set on level surface and make sure red led is flashing on the heli's pcb. The red led should flash quickly and then stop being fully lit. A bright red led fully lit means the devices have bound. If the red led flashes quickly then slows and continues to flash slowly restart your bind procedure. You may have to do this quite a few times to complete the bind. Also try this somewhere where there isn't a lot of electronics to interfere. Make sure that the batteries are fully charged in both the Transmitter and the v911 before attempting to bind.

I use the charger cord and my computer to charge those quad-copter batteries. Without their charger, I'd use 0.35 volt or 1C. Use a blast proof bag. I've had one swell up just sitting.

Tha helicopter battery is its own battery, not AA or AAA. The controller and battery charger are AA :-)

The instructions were in the original toy (Polar Express in my case) booklet. Basically you remove the battery from the toy, connect the charger and let it charge. The connections are made so that + connects to +, etc so that you can't cross connect. Repeat with the second battery. Never charge the battery in the toy as charging generates heat which can damage the toy.

Make sure that the helicopter battery is fully charged and plugged in then turn on the remote and keep it very close to the copter. the remote will have the flashing red light. then try using the remote. I usually just turn on the headlight by pressing the button on the top right of the remote. It is very important that the copter battery is fully charged. When my son shuts off the remote with a weaker battery in the copter we usually have to change the battery or charge it before it will reconnect even though he has just been flying. I did buy a pack of 5 spare batteries that took about 3 weeks to get from China but they work great.

The USB goes into your computer, the tiny square on the other side goes into the hole on the side of the copter. Let it charge until the USB adapter side lights up.

Load control unit with batteries. The cord from the control unit needs to be plugged into the helicopter to charge the helicopter. Leave plugged in until light on control turns green. The helicopter will need to be charged when it no longer is able to fly.

yes a second battery will help, also you can get higher mah battery. i run a 2000 mah battery and fasten under the helicopter for a longer flight time off one battery, I did leave the battery that it came with inside and the second underneath the copter and of coarse change the connections on the batteries so that all i have to do is unhook one and hook the other up and i'm flying again.

I think have a slightly different problem. My heli came with a decent charge on it. I flew it around the room for a couple minutes. Now I'm trying to charge it but the charge light never comes on. Can someone confirm what they are doing to charge it? Do you keep the helicopter switched "on" and the charger "off", heli "off" and charger "on", both "on", or both "off"? I suppose it doesn't matter since I think I've tried all combinations. Besides using power for controlling the test flight I have brand new batteries. If anyone had this issue and solved it, let me know. I think have a slightly different problem. My heli came with a decent charge on it. I flew it around the room for a couple minutes.

If you ran your copter for 5 minutes, the battery should definitely be low enough to need charging. So if there was never a green led while you had it plugged in for charging, then there is definitely something wrong with either the charger or the battery. I'm guessing it is the charger since you did get 5 minutes on the battery, but I could be wrong.

I've been powering it through an AC adapter. It doesn't look like there is space inside to put a battery in. However you can always grab one of these:Battery Holder for (8) AA with Standard Snap Connector : BH383 (1)and attach a regular input cable. You will get 12V out, exactly what this little baby needs.

Nope. Put the provided AA batteries in the transmitter. Plug the flight battery into the socket provided in the transmitter, and let it charge until the charging light stops blinking. Read the manual while you wait. Check that the elevator is flat (in line with) the horizontal stabilizer on the tail. If not, carefully open or close the little U in the elevator control rod to make it so. Probably will not be necessary. You can toss the plane into the grass to see if it has a tendency to pitch up or down and correct with the little U if so. When the battery is charged, you can trim the elevator with the trim tab also. Have fun. Nope. Put the provided AA batteries in the transmitter.

There should be no problems with putting a new fully charged battery in helicopter and flying it again , that being said make sure the battery that you are putting in the helicopter is good . I had bough extra batteries for mine and found two out of five to be defective

The Heli only comes with the White USB cable to charge it. You should not disassemble the unit to charge the battery directly. Use the little white plug port on the side opposite the on-off switch labeled "CHA" and plug the small end of the USB cable into the Heli then the large end into your computer's USB port. When the Heli is fully charged the USB plug on the computers side will illuminate orange.If you don't have access to a computers USB port you're initially out of luck as that's all the Heli comes shipped with.
