3.8 Flight Battery
Use caution when handling the Solo Smart Battery; there is a risk of fire if the battery is handled roughly enough
to damage it. Never alter, puncture, throw, bend or impact the battery. Keep the battery away from liquids, fire,
microwaves, and other hazardous or combustible materials. Don’t expose the battery to extreme temperatures. The
battery functions optimally when used in -4° F to 140° F; operating Solo at the extremes of this range can affect its
performance. If the battery is hot to the touch, wait for it to cool before using or charging.
Inspect the battery before and after each flight. It is possible for the battery to be damaged in shipping, use or
charging. If you notice any abnormal features such as damage to the exterior shell, swelling, deformation of the
battery, abnormal smell, leakage, or other unexpected behavior, do not use the battery! These can be signs of
serious damage that can cause the battery to catch fire or explode. In this case, do not use the battery again.
Disconnect the battery, place the battery in a safe area outside of any buildings or vehicles and away from fire
and flammable materials to prevent a hazard in case of fire or explosion. Do not dispose of the battery in the
trash; dispose of the battery at local battery recycling center. In the US and Canada, visit call2recycle.org to find a
location.
For long term storage, the battery will last longer if you store it in 64° F to 82° F, between 45-85% relative humidity
and with 50% charge (instead of at empty). Always make sure to store the battery in a place where it won’t be
exposed to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
3.9 Controller
Keep the controller away from liquids, fire, microwaves, and other hazardous or combustible materials. Don’t
expose the controller to extreme temperatures. The controller functions optimally when used in -4° F to 140° F. If the
controller is hot to the touch, wait for it to cool before using or charging.
