Important Note: Lithium Ion batteries are more volatile than the alkaline, NiCad and NiMH
batteries used in other RC applications. All instructions and warnings must be followed exact-
ly to prevent possible personal injury or damage to property, including by fire. By handling,
charging, or using the included Li-ion battery you assume all potential risks. If you do not agree
with these conditions, please return your complete product in new, unused condition to the
place of purchase immediately.
Important - Please read the following safety instructions and warnings before handling,
charging, or using the included battery.
•
You must charge you Li-ion battery in a safe area away from any flammable
materials.
•
Never charge the Li-ion battery unattended at any time. When charging the
battery you should always remain in constant observation of the battery to
monitor the process and react immediately to potential problems you observe.
•
After discharging the battery during running the boat you must allow it to cool to
ambient room temperature before attempting to recharge. Also, it is NOT recommend
ed that you completely discharge the battery before charging. It is safe to charge par
tially discharged batteries when using an appropriate Li-ion charge
•
For charging the battery you must use only the included charger or a suitably
compatible Li-ion battery charger. Failure to do so may result in a fire causing
property damage and/or personal injury. DO NOT use a NiCad or NiMh charger to
charge your new Li-ion battery.
•
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 before placing it in a safe, open area away from
flammable materials for observation for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge
or discharge a battery that has started to “balloon” or swell can result in a fire. Import
ant note: A battery that has “ballooned” or swollen even a small amount must be re
moved from service immediately and completely.
•
Never discharge a Li-ion battery below 3V per cell.
•
Always disconnect a battery from the ESC when the product is not in use.
•
Avoid continually operating the battery to LVC (Low Voltage Cutoff) as this could
result in damage to the battery.
•
Store the battery partially charged (approximately 50% charged or 3.85V per cell)
at room temperature (approximately 68 to 77o Fahrenheit) in a dry area for best result
•
When transporting or temporarily storing the battery, the temperature range
should be between 40 to 100o F. Do not store the battery or boat in a hot car or in
direct sunlight whenever possible or the battery could be damaged or even catch fire.
•
Li-ion cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each. In the case of this 2-cell,
7.4V battery you should not allow the voltage to fall below 6.0V during operation.
•
Do not over-discharge the Li-ion battery, which could result in reduced power,
lower run times or complete failure of the battery.
NOTE: The included ESC features a “soft” LVC (Low Voltage Cutoff) that smoothly reduces pow-
er to the motor (regardless of your throttle position) to let you know that the voltage to the
battery is near the 6.0V minimum and avoid damage to your battery.
