Batteries & Charging
The TX15 has a built-in USB-C charging function for 3.7V lithium batteries. The charging circuit is only designed to charge 2x 3.7V Li-ion 18650 or 2x 3.7V Li-Poly batteries (2s 7.4v Lipo battery pack). The nominal battery voltage is 3.7V, the charged voltage is 4.2V/Cell.
DO NOT use LiFE battery packs or 18650 lithium-ion batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.6v with a fully charged voltage of 4.10V. Charging the incorrect type of battery may damage the charger or cause a fire.
If using Li-ion, ensure the cells are not protected and are button-top cells. Please check the voltage and condition of the battery regularly and never charge unattended. Always charge in a safe area away from combustible materials. Refrain from charging if the remote control gets wet or damaged in any way. DO NOT charge with the polarity reversed.
