the battery to cool down before recharging, and look over the pack to make sure it hasn’t been physically

Lectron Pro nickeL-MetaL Hydride Battery Safety WarningS:
By purchasing this battery, the buyer assumes all risks associated with nickel-metal hydride batteries. We
assume no liability for failure to comply with these warnings and safety guidelines.
• Nickel-metal hydride batteries are volatile and can be very dangerous if mishandled, stored, charged
or discharged improperly. Failure to read and follow these instructions may result in fire, personal injury,
and damage to property.
• Store below 80°F and above 40°F whenever possible (not in direct sunlight). Never store or charge
a
battery pack inside your car in extreme temperatures (100° F and above), since extreme temperature
could cause fire. Use caution to avoid puncture of the cells. Puncture of cells may cause fire.
• Do not attempt to solder connectors to batteries unless you have experience soldering wire leads on
NiMH batteries. Wire lead shorts can cause fire. If you accidentally short the wires, the battery must be
placed in a safe area away from any flammable materials for observation for approximately 15 minutes.
Check for any signs of continued heat from the battery pack, such as smoke or a burning smell. A battery
may possibly catch fire after a short time. Additionally, if a short occurs and contact is made with metal
(such as rings on your hand), severe injuries may occur due to the conductibility of electric current. If,
for any reason, you need to cut the terminal wires, it will be necessary to cut each wire separately, ensuring
the wires do not touch each other, or a short may occur, potentially causing a fire. To solder a connector,
remove any protective insulation on the red wire and solder to the positive terminal of a connector,
then remove any protective insulation on the black wire and solder to the negative terminal of the connector.
• Do not charge battery packs in series or parallel unless you are using an approved parallel
charging/balancing
adapter, such as our Common Sense RC Paraboards. Otherwise, you must charge each battery pack
individually. Failure to do so may result in incorrect battery recognition and charging functions. Overcharging
may occur and fire may be the result.
• Do not discharge battery to a level below 1V per cell under load. Deep discharge below 1V per cell
can
dramatically deteriorate battery performance and will likely cause the battery pack to become unusable.
• Batteries that lose 20% of their capacity must be removed from service and disposed of properly. For
example, a 2000mah battery that behaves as if it is only a 1600mah battery is unsuitable for service.
Dispose of it using the instructions below.
