Dear customer,
thank you for your trust in this LRP product. By purchasing a LRP Outlaw Car Line
Hardcase LiPo battery, you have chosen a high-performance battery for your RC mo-
del. Please read the following instructions to ensure, that your LRP Outlaw Car Line
Hardcase LiPo battery always works up to your full satisfaction.
LiPo-batteries need special treatment and care. Please read the following instructions
carefully before you start using your LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo battery. This
user guide contains important notes for the installation, the safety, the use and the
maintenance of this product. Thus protecting yourself and avoid damages of the pro-
duct.
Proceed according to the user guide in order to understand your LRP Outlaw Car Line
Hardcase LiPo battery better. Please take your time as you will have much more joy
with your product if you know it exactly.
This user manual shall be kept in a safe place. If another customer is using this pro-
duct, this manual has to be handed out together with it.
1. OUTLAW CAR LINE
The all-new Outlaw car line batteries from LRP are truly something new and innova-
tive. In comparison to normal LiPo batteries, these new Outlaw LiPo batteries feature
a nominal voltage of 7.6V (instead of 7.4V) and you can charge them up to 8.70V! This
results in more power and more runtime. You can feel the extra power as your model
will accelerate faster and run for a longer time.
The Outlaw LiPo batteries are compatible with all standard LiPo chargers and will per-
form like a normal LiPo battery. To unleash the extra power and runtime, you need to
charge them up to 8.70V. The result will be amazing!
2. Connections
All LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo packs have 4mm gold plug sockets built into
the battery pack. These power connections have to be used for standard charging and
for all applications in the model/device. Be sure to always take care of the right polarity,
which is shown on the hardcase of the battery, as a wrong connection will damage
your battery and your speedo. While soldering, take care that you don´t do any short
circuits and that all wires are well insulated.
Additionally to the 4mm gold plug sockets, all LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo
packs, use a 2mm gold plug socket, which acts as a cell connection between the two
cells in the pack. This connection can be used for balancing the cells aswell. This con-
nection is used for balancing the LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo pack.
Special balancers or certain chargers use this balancing port to perfectly condition
and equalize the individual cells inside the pack. Please check the user manual of the
balancer/charger in order to know how the battery needs to be hooked up. For perfect
charging and conditioning of the batteries, we recommend our LRP PULSAR TOUCH
COMPETITION (No. 41556).
NOTE:
The Balancing-port shall not be used for the standard use in the model/device.
Only use the 4mm gold plug sockets to power your model/device.
For perfect conditioning of your LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo pack, we recom-
mend the use of our LRP PULSAR TOUCH COMPETITION charger (No. 41556). To-
gether with the 2S LiPo Hardcase charging wire (No. 65821) and one of our LRP LiPo
Safe Box (No. 65848), your battery will always have the best possible performance.

3. Charging
Due to new and special manufacturing technologies, all LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase
LiPo batteries can be charged with a maximum current of 3C*
up to a max. charging
voltage of 8.70V.
For charging, only use chargers, which are specially designed and
developed for LiPo-batteries. These chargers charge the battery with the max. cur-
rent till the battery reaches the max. charging voltage. The charger then reduces the
charging current until the battery is fully charged. This charging method is called CC/
CV (Constant Current/Constant Voltage). For charging the LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardca-
se LiPo batteries, we recommend our LRP PULSAR TOUCH COMPETITION (No. 41556).
ATTENTION:
Under no circumstances use NiMH/NiCd-chargers or chargers, that are
set to NiMH/NiCd mode, for charging LiPo-batteries! These chargers do not reduce the
charging current and therefore ultimately lead to overcharging the battery! Only use
chargers that have an automatic end of charge cut-off and are specially designed for
radio controlled model batteries. Do not use timer chargers.
LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo batteries batteries do not heat up during charging.
It is normal, that the battery still has ambient temperature when it is fully charged. If the
battery heats up during charging or warps, immediately stop charging it. A Balancer
which monitors the voltage of each single cell is mandatory during the charge of LiPo
batteries.
ATTENTION:
Never charge your LiPo battery without a balancer directly connected
to the balancing port of your battery, unless your charger is already equipped with a
balancer. Always charge your battery outside of your model!
The maximum charging voltage for each single LiPo-cell is 4.35V. If the battery reaches
this voltage, the charge current has to be lowered. This is automatically done by the
charger. If the charge current reaches 0.05 - 0.1C*, the battery is fully charged. Some
LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo batteries batteries consist of multiple LiPo-cells.
You can see the max. charging voltage in the table below. We advise the following
settings for charging our LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo batteries batteries:

ATTENTION: ONLY CHARGE OUR LRP 2S OUTLAW CAR LINE LIPO BATTERIES UP
TO A MAX. CHARGING VOLTAGE OF 8.70V. ONLY THESE TYPES ARE SUITABLE FOR
THIS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CHARGE STANDARD LIPO BATTERIES UP TO
THIS CHARGING VOLTAGE! FIRE HAZARD!
PLEASE NOTE:
You can use your LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo battery several
times a day. However be sure, that the battery has completely cooled down to ambient
temperature, before re-charging it again.
LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo batteries batteries do not have a memory effect and
only a very low self-discharge rate. Therefore you can also charge batteries with a par-
tial charge in them, without the need of discharging the pack before. Partially charged
packs can be stored over a long period of time, without getting damaged. Please also
see the „Storage“ section for further reference.
* C=Nominal capacity of the battery. E.g. with a nominal capacity of 7000 mAh (7.0Ah),
the battery can be charged with a max. current of 21.0A.
4. Discharging
All LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo batteries are capable of a maximum peak
discharge current of 110C (55C/110C types). The special manufacturing technology of
the LRP Outlaw Car Line Hardcase LiPo batteries make these high discharge currents
possible. Be sure that the battery temperature is not below 18°C (65°F) if you run it in
your model as the high discharge load will hurt the performance and the cycle life of
your battery if it is below this temperature.
PLEASE NOTE:
Always take care that the battery gets enough cooling when discharging
it with high discharge currents.
You have to take care, that the batteries do not get deep discharged. As soon as the
battery voltage falls below 3.3V per single cell, the battery pack gets damaged irre-
vocably. With 2S packs, the discharge cut-off voltage under load is 6.6V. With 1S packs,
the discharge cut-off voltage under load is 3.3V. With 3S packs, the discharge cut-off
voltage under load is 9.9V. The battery voltage should never fall below these discharge
cut-off voltages. If your speed control does not have a special undervoltage protection
for LiPo-batteries, you have to stop your model early enough in order not to deep
discharge the battery pack. Therefore stop immediately as soon as you feel a rapid
loss in power.
IMPORTANT:
The max. temperature of the LiPo-battery during discharge must never
exceed 65°C (150°F).
NOTE: If the batteries do swell or get thick after discharging them, it is a sign of
overload and/or deep-discharge. The battery pack gets damaged due to this and the
max. performance will get less. Swollen battery packs are not a product fault and
therefore excluded from the limited warranty.
