• If at any time during the charge or discharge process the battery begins to balloon or swell,
discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then
place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 1 minutes.
Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A
battery that has ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service completely.

• Do not over-discharge the battery. Discharging the battery too low can cause damage to the pack
resulting in reduced performance and duration.
Li-Po cells should not be discharged to below V each under load. In the case of the -cell
Li-Po packs used for the Blade™ CX, you will not want to allow the battery to fall to below
V during flight.
The Blade CX -in-1 control unit does not feature a voltage cutoff of any type, so we suggest
that you be extremely aware of the power level of the Li-Po battery pack during flight. If at any
time the helicopter begins to require more throttle than typical to maintain hover or flight, or has
lost significant power, you must land the helicopter and power the motors down IMMEDIATELY to
prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery pack. If you continue to run the motors after noticing
a loss in power, it is possible to discharge the Li-Po battery pack too far, causing permanent
damage to the pack.
Over-discharge of the Li-Po battery pack can result in shortened flight times, loss of power output
or failure of the pack entirely.
