b) Flight Battery
Attention!
After the flight, the LiPo flight battery must be disconnected from the electronics system of the QuadroCopter.
Do not leave the LiPo flight battery connected to the electronic system when you do not use it (e.g. during
transport or storage). Otherwise the LiPo flight battery may be fully discharged. This would destroy it and
render it unusable! There is also a danger of malfunction due to interferences. The rotors could start up
inadvertently and cause damage or injury.
• Never charge the LiPo flight battery immediately after use. Always leave the LiPo flight battery to cool off first (at
least 10-15 minutes).
• To charge LiPo rechargeable batteries, always use a LiPo charger and a LiPo equalizer / balancer.
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the external insulation of the rechargeable battery is damaged or if
the rechargeable battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case there is serious danger of fire
and explosion!
• Never damage the exterior of a LiPo flight battery. Never cut the covering foil. Never stab any LiPo flight batteries
with pointed objects. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Remove the LiPo flight battery that is to be charged from the model and place it on a fire-proof support. Keep a
distance to flammable objects.
• As the charger and the rechargeable LiPo flight battery both heat up during the charging procedure, it is necessary
to ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the charger or the LiPo flight battery! Of course, this also applies for all
other chargers and rechargeable batteries.
• Never leave LiPo batteries unattended while charging them.
• Disconnect the LiPo flight battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Chargers may only be operated in dry rooms. The charger and the LiPo flight battery must not get damp or wet.
There is danger to life from electric shock. There is also the risk of fire or explosion by the rechargeable
battery. Rechargeable LiPo batteries in particular are very susceptible to moisture due to the chemicals
they contain! Do not expose the charger or LiPo flight battery to high/low temperatures or to direct solar
radiation. When handling LiPo batteries, observe the special safety notices of the battery manufacturer.
