BATTERY USAGE CAUTIONS
• Lithium Polymer batteries are volatile. Failure to read and follow the below instructions may result in fire, personal injury and damage
to property if charged or used improperly.
• Neither Sky-Hero, or our retailers assume any liability for failures to comply with these warnings and safety guidelines.
• By purchasing this battery, the buyer assumes all risks associated with lithium batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions,
return the battery immediately before use.
GENERAL GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS
• Use specific Lithium Polymer charger only. Do not use a NiCd or NiMh charger - Failure to do so may cause a fire, which may result in
personal injury and property damage.
• Never charge batteries unattended. When charging Li-Po batteries you should always remain in constant observation to monitor the
charging process and react to potential problems that may occur.
• Some Li-Po chargers on the market may have technical deficiencies that may cause it to charge the Li-Po batteries incorrectly or at an
improper rate. It is your responsibility solely to assure the charger you purchased works properly. Always monitor the charging process to
assure batteries are being charged properly. Failure to do so may result in fire.
• If at any time you witness a battery starting to balloon or swell up, discontinue charging process immediately. Disconnect the battery
and observe it in a safe place for approximately 15 minutes. Continuing to charge a battery that has begun to swell will result in fire.
Likewise, never use a battery if you find it swollen or ballooned upon purchase.
• Since delayed chemical reaction can occur, it is best to observe the battery as a safety precaution. Battery observation should occur in
a safe area outside of any building or vehicle and away from any combustible material.
• Wire lead shorts can cause fire! If you accidentally short the wires, the battery must be placed in a safe area for observation for ap-
proximately 15 minutes. Additionally, if a short occurs and contact is made with metal (such as rings on your hand), severe injuries may
occur due to the conductibility of electric current.
• A battery can still ignite even after 10 minutes.
• In the event of a crash, you must remove battery for observation and place in a safe open area away from any combustible material
for approximately 15 minutes.
• If for any reason you need to cut the terminal wires, it will be necessary to cut each wire separately, ensuring the wires to not touch
each other or a short may occur, potentially causing a fire.
• To solder a connector: Remove insulating tape of Red wire and solder to positive terminal of a connector, then remove insulating tape
of Black wire and solder to the negative terminal of connector. Be careful not to short the wire lead. If you accidentally cause the battery
to short, place it in a safe open space and observe the battery for approximately 15 minutes. A battery may swell or even possibly catch
fire after a short time.
• Never store or charge a battery pack inside your car in extreme temperatures, since extreme temperature could cause fire.
OPERATING TEMPERATURES
Charge: 32 to 113 degrees F Discharge: 32 to 140 degrees F
1) Let battery cool down to ambient temperature before charging.
2) During discharge and handling of batteries, do not exceed 160 degrees F.
BATTERY LIFE
Batteries that lose 20% of their capacity must be removed from service and disposed of properly.
Discharge the battery to 3V/Cell, making sure output wires are insulated, then wrap battery in a bag for disposal.
PRODUCT WARRANTY
Product warranty is limited to original defects in material and workmanship. Warranty does not cover collateral damage. Due to the na-
ture and use of this product there is no term warranty. Misuse, abuse, incorrect charging, failure to comply with the above warnings and
guidelines, and other inappropriate use of this product are not covered under warranty.
FIRST FLIGHTS
We recommend 3-5C max average discharge for breaking in new packs. Also be extremely careful not to over discharge new packs
(Packs should NEVER be over discharged at any time, but over discharging on the first flight will ruin the battery permanently before you
are able to enjoy it. See “Caring for Battery” below).
