Unplug the two cables that hook together under the battery / main body. One of those cables you unplug then plugs into the USB cable for charging. You can plug the USB end into a laptop or converter that plugs into the wall. However, be careful when pulling the plugs apart--the little white plugs that plug into each other fit very snuggly and take effort to get apart and if not done carefully you may pull the white plug out of the socket and off the wires! My son pulled the white part out of the USB charging cable so and bare wires hang where the white plug once was so now I can't use it to charge...

You can disconnect the battery to turn it off. To charge the battery, connect it to an USB port (with the USB cable provided )

With any RC model, be it airplane or quad ... always turn on the transmitter first and then the quad. And it reverse, unplug your quad first and then shut off the transmitter.

You don't take the battery out to charge it, it stays inside the LeapPad2. My son used it while it was charging on occasion as well. Hope this helps.

I bought a second charger that is the same one that came with the Quadcopter. I think it was $10 and free shipping. Also keep in mind that after you get all the new batteries charged, when you fly one battery out, if you immediately put it on your existing charger, it'll be charged by the time you fly through your other three batteries. In other words, you may not need to get another charger at all. But again, they're only ten bucks.

It looks like you can take it off the bike and charge it if you want. It is held in place on the bottom base and then two small bolts up the battery pack. The base is behind the petals and has a power cord that goes to the hub motor on the rear wheel. I myself would like to know how to buy/replace the battery pack. Does anybody know? It is a well built bike. It augments hill climes well.

READ BEFORE DIAGNOSING A BAD BATTERY!!!I just received this item today and loved it my first 3 flights. I charged it back up, and then it wouldn't take off all the sudden. I immediately thought it was the battery not being charged enough and this thread made me think that even more. BUT, the more I tried to make it work I noticed the top rotor moved slower and slower.If you can pull the top rotor off without loosening screws, you've found the issue! There are two screws in the sides of the top rotor that tighten on the center pin that spins it. I tightened these and my entire issue was resolved, and I had IDENTICAL symptoms as the people above.Happy troubleshooting!

First, where you able to charge the aircraft? A lot of people including myself had a rough time figuring out how to properly charge it. Before mine self destructed, I remember it took about 5 seconds with "full throttle" or left stick before the motors would kick in. Good luck, hope that helps

The helicopter should be turned off, so no lights there. If charging from the remote, the remote should be turned on, with a Green power light visible. While the copter is charging there is also a red light that turns on. Mine came with a Yellow USB charger as well, and that had an orange(ish) light when it was plugged in and charging. The USB no longer works so I have to charge from the remote now.

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

Marissa - How do you turn it off?I started using mine mid September 2007, and now (Feb 3, 2008), after logging about 200 miles, it's already died! It might be because I've never turned it off, because I don't know how... I just got a new one, and I wnt to try to preserve the battery life on it. Can anyone tell me how to turn it off? Thanks!

Have a similar problem-battery says charging but us always 0% and I can not unplug without it turning off. Called Asus-surprise they only warrenty the battery for 6 months. Very frustrating.

You can leave it plugged in using a usb cable with a plug in adapter at the wall, similar to a lot of devices now that charge via usb cable. Just leave it plugged in and it will operate off electricity and keep the battery charged. Be aware that on mine the water in one speaker quit "dancing". Not sure what this was related to but probably not a power issue but defective.

h! there is a cable hanging loose, right? try plugging it to your tablet on the side: that's all it takes! no turn on/off needed. so to not run my batteries i unplug it when not in use

I recommend yo to read all the other questions for this same article. I haven't bought it yet, but seems by those answers it is only the helicopter, no batteries, no control, no charger. Another answer says this article is intended just for copter replacement.

I really do not understand the question. Are you asking how come your batteries will not take a charge the way they use to? Or How come your flight times are shorter? I balance charge my batteries on the way out. I put them in "storage" if I am not going to use them for a while.

I do charge it with the original charger, it works just find. If you live in a very hot climate, take the battery out of the compartment immediately after the end of the flight and allow to cool. Also, do not drain to 0%, replace once you get the message "low battery"
