7. Battery safety information
Although batteries and rechargeable batteries are very useful in our everyday life, nevertheless
they present numerous safety hazards. Compared with conventional NiMH rechargeable batteries,
LiPo rechargeable batteries have a high energy content. For this reason, it is essential to comply
with safety regulations to prevent the risk of a fire or explosion.
Always observe the following safety information when handling batteries and rechargeable bat-
teries.
a) General information
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of reach of children. Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be
kept out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children
and pets. Seek immediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. This
may cause an explosion!
• When handling leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries, always use suitable protective
gloves to avoid burning your skin.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or sur-
faces coming into contact with these liquids could be severely damaged. Therefore, keep batteries/
rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
• Do not attempt to recharge disposable, non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion!
Non-rechargeable batteries are only designed to be used once and must be disposed of properly when
they are empty. Only recharge compatible rechargeable batteries and ensure that you use a suitable
battery charger.
• If you do not plan to use the model for an extended period (e.g. during storage), remove the batteries/
rechargeable batteries from the transmitter to prevent them from leaking and causing damage. First
completely disconnect and then remove the drive batteries from the model. Store batteries and drive
batteries in a dry, clean, cool place out of the reach of children.
Install a smoke detector in the room. Batteries present a fire hazard and may generate toxic fumes.
This applies in particular to model batteries, which are subjected to high charging/discharge currents
and vibrations.
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries in the transmitter. Do not mix full batteries/rechargeable bat-
teries with half-full ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and from the
same manufacturer. Never mix batteries with rechargeable batteries!
• Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries into the transmitter or con-
necting drive batteries to the model (observe plus/+ and minus/-). Otherwise, incorrect polarity will dam-
age not only your model, but also the rechargeable batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion!
• Do not expose the charger and the drive batteries to high or low temperatures or direct sunlight.
