My battery is way up front under the fuel tank. However, there is a connector coming from the on/off switch which is accesible. Is this connector meant to charge the battery with?
If charging with that connector, does it matter what position the switch is in?
Also, I think we left the power switch on after my last flight yesterday, even though the radio was off, and this morning, nothing works. Will the battery discharge when the power switch is left on?
You are correct, that is the charging connector
The switch must be off. Most chargers have an LED that will be on when it is charging
Yes, If you leave the power switch on in the plane, it still will discharge the battery as the reciever and servos will be using power. Try not to do this as this can cause receiver damage if done often enough. I personally have never seen this, it's just what I have been told. I do know that you definitely do not want to do that with the radio as it can burn up the output circuit. I have seen that first hand.
