Battery Safety Precautions

Important Note:

 Lithium Polymer (LiPo) ba  eries are more vola  le than the alkaline, NiCad and NiMH 

ba  eries used in other RC applica  ons. All instruc  ons and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent 
possible personal injury or damage to property, including by 

fi

 re. By handling, charging, or using the included 

LiPo ba  ery you assume all poten  al risks. If you do not agree with these condi  ons, please return your 
complete product in new, unused condi  on to the place of purchase immediately. 

Important - Please read the following safety instruc  ons and warnings before handling, charging, or using the 

included ba  ery.

•  You must charge you LiPo ba  ery in a safe area away from any 

fl

 ammable materials.

•  Never charge the LiPo ba  ery una  ended at any   me. When charging the ba  ery you should always 

remain in constant observa  on of the ba  ery to monitor the process and react immediately to poten  al 

problems you observe.

• A  er discharging the ba  ery during running the boat you must allow it to cool to ambient room 

temperature before a  emp  ng to recharge. Also, it is NOT recommended that you completely discharge 

the ba  ery before charging. It is safe to charge par  ally discharged ba  eries when using an appropriate 
LiPo charge

•  For charging the ba  ery you must use only the included charger or a suitably compa  ble LiPo ba  ery 

charger. Failure to do so may result in a 

fi

 re causing property damage and/or personal injury. DO NOT use a 

NiCad or NiMh charger to charge your new LiPo ba  ery.

•  If at any   me during the charge or discharge process the ba  ery begins to “balloon” or swell, discon  nue 

charging or discharging immediately! Quickly and safely disconnect the ba  ery before placing it in a safe, 

open area away from 

fl

 ammable materials for observa  on for at least 15 minutes. Con  nuing to charge 

or discharge a ba  ery that has started to “balloon” or swell can result in a 

fi

 re. Important note: A ba  ery 

that has “ballooned” or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service immediately and 

completely.

•  Never discharge a LiPo ba  ery below 3V per cell.
•  Always disconnect a ba  ery from the ESC when the product is not in use.
• Avoid 

con  nually opera  ng the ba  ery to LVC (Low Voltage Cuto

 ) as this could result in damage to the 

ba  ery.

•  Store the ba  ery par  ally 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 

transpor  ng or temporarily storing the ba  ery, the temperature range should be between 40 to 

100  F. Do not store the ba  ery or boat in a hot car or in direct sunlight whenever possible or the ba  ery 

could be damaged or even catch 

fi

 re.

•  LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each. In the case of this 3-cell, 11.1V ba  ery you should 

not allow the voltage to fall below 9.0V during opera  on.

•  Do not over-discharge the LiPo ba  ery, which could result in reduced power, lower run   mes or complete 

failure of the ba  ery.

NOTE

: The included ESC features a “so  ” LVC (Low Voltage Cuto

 ) that smoothly reduces power to the motor 

(regardless of your thro  le posi  on) to let you know that the voltage to the ba  ery is near the 6.0V minimum 

and avoid damage to your ba  ery.
