Battery Warnings and Guidelines
While the Celectra 4-port Battery Charger (EFLC1004) included with
your 4-Site has been specifically designed to safely charge the included
1S 3.7V 150mAh 12C Li-Po Battery (EFLB1501S), you MUST read the
following safety instructions and warnings before handling, charging or using
the Li-Po battery.
Note: Li-Po batteries are significantly more volatile than
the alkaline, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries used in RC
applications. All instructions and warnings must be
followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can
result in fire.
By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery you assume
all risks associated with lithium batteries. If you do not agree with these
conditions, return your complete 4-Site model in new, unused condition to
the place of purchase immediately.
• You must charge the included 1S 3.7V 150mAh 12C Li-Po battery in a safe area
away from flammable materials.
• Never charge the battery unattended. When charging the battery you should always
remain in constant observation to monitor the charging process and react to
potential problems that may occur.
• After flight, the battery must be cooled to ambient temperature before charging.
• You MUST use the included 4-port Celectra 1S 3.7V Li-Po Battery Charger
(EFLC1004). Failure to do so may result in a fire causing personal injury and/or
property damage. DO NOT use a Ni-Cd or Ni-MH charger.
• 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 15 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.
• Store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results.
• When transporting or temporarily storing the battery, the temperature range should
be from 40–120 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not store the battery or model in a car
or direct sunlight whenever possible. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be
damaged or even catch fire.
• Do not over-discharge the Li-Po flight battery. Discharging the battery too low can
cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power, duration or failure of the
battery entirely.
