7. Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes

Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today,

there are many dangers and problems. In particular in LiPo/LiIon batteries with high energy content

(as compared to conventional NiCd or NiMH batteries), various provisions must be complied with

to avoid danger of explosion and fire.

The model is delivered with a rechargeable battery and a matching charger. Nevertheless, we are

including extensive information on handling batteries for safety reasons. Should you use your own

accessories, please ensure you follow all information enclosed by the respective manufacturer.

a) Transmitter

•

Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.

•

Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being

swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!

• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There

is a danger of explosion!

•

Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin at contact; there-

fore, use suitable protective gloves.

• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
•

Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries (pay attention to plus/+ and minus/-).

•

If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries from

the remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries.

•

Always replace the whole set of batteries. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones. Always use batter-

ies/rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.

•

Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!

b) Flight Battery

• After the flight, the LiPo flight battery must be disconnected from the electronics system of the flight

model. Do not leave the LiPo flight battery connected to the helicopter electronic system when you do

not use the flight model (e.g. during transport or storage). Otherwise the LiPo flight battery may be fully

discharged. This would destroy the rechargeable battery 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 5 - 10 minutes).

• Due to the special battery plug, the flight battery can be charged with conventional LiPo chargers only if

using matching adapters. Therefore, use the included USB LiPo charger only to charge the flight battery.

•

Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery is dam-

aged or the battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate

danger of fire and explosion!
