lithium polymer battery safety
Before Charging Li-po’s
Before charging your battery check for any damage e.g. check if the battery has
expanded or swollen in size or if the battery cells have been punctured. If any of
the above is true: DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY!
Charging Li-po’s
Only use the USB lead supplied with this product to charge the Lithium polymer
battery in the helicopter. Never use a nicad or other charger as this is very
dangerous.
Never charge unattended. Always stay with your battery whilst charging in case
of overheating or fire.
Charge on a safe surface or container (e.g. old unused microwave oven). Charge
only on non-flammable surfaces, e.g. concrete floor preferably outdoors, or in
a pyrex cooking dish with the battery placed on a bed of sand, or in a fireplace.
Never charge inside a car!
Unplug the charge lead from the computer USB end if the battery gets too hot. If
the battery becomes hot to the touch during charging, disconnect immediately
from the end that plugs into the USB slot on the computer.
Extinguish fires with sand. If something goes wrong and your battery catches
fire, always have sand from a fire bucket at hand to douse the flames. Do NOT
use water!
Using Li-po’s
Do not modify/change any part of the battery or lead. Do not remove its
protective covering. Removal or modification may damage the battery and will
invalidate any warranty claim.
Do not place this battery near fires or anything with high temperatures.
Do not store batteries in any type of motor vehicle.
Do not let the battery get wet or become submerged in any type of liquid.
Do not carry loose batteries in your pocket or bag as they could short-circuit
against other items.
If you should get electrolyte from the cells on your skin, wash thoroughly with
soap and water. If in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. Seek medical
assistance.
Always store fully charged in a dark, dry and cool environment.
