Technical Performance
The E-flite DC Power Cord is engineered to work exclusively with the Celectra 2S 7.4V DC LiPo Charger, which accepts 12V DC input power. This charger is specifically designed for 2S LiPo batteries, which are the standard power source for E-flite's UMX range of ultra-micro electric aircraft. The power cord delivers 12V DC safely to the charger, which then intelligently manages the charging process with clear LED status indicators showing power connection, charging progress, balancing operations, and completion status. The charger features multiple LED light designations: GREEN blinking indicates power and battery are connected; RED blinking shows active charging; RED and GREEN blinking together indicate the battery balancing phase; solid GREEN indicates full charge completion; and RED and GREEN flashing rapidly signals an error condition. The power cord is manufactured to OEM specifications, ensuring it handles the correct amperage and voltage without degradation or safety issues. This is a critical component for serious RC modellers in the UK who operate E-flite ultra-micro aircraft and want to maintain their equipment at the highest standards.
