Precautions
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are volatile. Failure to read and follow the all safety
instructions and warnings may result in fire, personal injury, and damage to property.
Always store
and
charge batteries in a fireproof container; never in your model!
Let LiPo Battery Pack cool down to ambient temperature before charging. Only charge batteries
when the ambient, battery, and charger temperatures are between 32 and 113 °F (0 to 45 °C).
Before connecting to charger, make a visual inspection of the pack. Look for any damaged leads,
connectors, broken shrink, swelling of cells, or other irregularities. Do not use if you find any of
the above issues with your pack.
Do not charge batteries packs in series. Charge each battery pack individually. Failure to do so
may result in incorrect battery recognition and charging functions.
Always use balance charging when applicable. Do not charge multi-cell batteries without
balancing; this will cause the cell voltages to become unbalanced; which may result in
overcharging and damaging cells.
Never charge batteries unattended or overnight. When charging LiPo batteries you should always
remain in constant observation to monitor the charging process and react to potential problems
that may occur.
Keep charger and batteries away from children and animals at all times.
Do not charge LiPo batteries above 4.2 Volts/cell. Overcharged batteries are extremely
dangerous.
