How is the battery secured to the copter and will it damage the power wires that go to the circuit board.

The battery clicks in the bottom and will not fall out even in a crash. I eventually bought some 500mah batteries for longer flight time and cut the battery mount area off and added a strip of Velcro to copter and to the batteries. Now I just stick the batteries to the copter with no issues. I can also balance the copter better this way too.

The battery sits inside the black "cockpit" and is a 350mAH "pouch." It uses the same connector type as my Wakera helicopter. The battery can be unplugged and slid out

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.

The battery staging area is sensitive... make sure the components weren't damaged during shippping

On the model I have, the procedure is the following. The in-flight battery must be carefully removed from the plane. It is important NOT to simply pull on the wire. One of the small plastic tools that comes with the plane can be used to carefully pry open the connector. This is best done a little at a time, alternating on the left and right sides. Any small flat piece of plastic can be used. Then the connector is plugged into the hand-held controller, which has a port in the middle for re-charging. An indicator light indicates when the charging is complete. This usually takes a couple of minutes. Overall, the removal and re-installing of the on-board battery must be done carefully, so as not to damage any components.

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

simple. Your power is weak. Change the batteries with new good batteries. A friend of mine had a similar problem and once we changed to new good batteries it flew flawlessly. Smooth copter handles easy.

no it does not. all you have to do is unplug it from the board and slide it out carefully. then slide the new one in, making sure that the wires fit in the groove on the frame. then plug it back in the board and you are back in business. just remember the socket that you took the plug out of. they are a lot of fun to fly. good luck.

This is a question to ask of the manufacturer. I would think their is protection in the charge controller to prevent any damage, but I have no knowledge of that.

I had that problem and found out that the connectors to the battery were not secured tightly!

Your better off returning the copter before Christmas. I returned it twice for various defects. I had brought it to an RC shop and it was verified for defects with the circuit board that affects flight, TX and camera. Your better off not dealing with this company at all.

The charger for the flight battery is built into the transmitter. The transmitter is powered by 5 AA dry cells.

I have to pull it really hard to unplug. So obviously no improvment. I bought my copter in 2013. On the whole the copter is really sturdy and it is not afraid of bumps and hits.

If you can hover it fairly ok, after some time it will need more power cause the battery's start to go down a bit but it should never have a huge change in flying with out a control input. If it's hovering or flying slow and descends rapidly with out your command it's a problem most likely... Best of luck

I recall seeing a paper that came with the helicopter that had an entire list of all the different parts on the helicopter that could be purchased should one of them break. I didnt look at it in detail (and unfortunately it got thrown away with the box), but i'm pretty sure it would be easy to find an a spare battery...either thru the same company that made the heli or just online somewhere (amazon even) :)

I don't know. My problem wasn't with the battery working......it was the connecting device. I was trying to find batteries for my fixed wing CHAMP rc airplane. I could not connect the rc plane to the battery. Now I'm stuck with them. My only recourse is to find an airplane that requires that battery.

The controller itself uses throwaway batteries. They are not included. The helicopter comes with a small rechargeable battery installed in it. There would be no reason to buy a separate rechargeable battery. It is small and wired in. Not really intended to be swapped out.
