safety guidelines found in the documentation of the specific charger model that you are using. You can also

Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to a power supply. If a charger begins to malfunction,
disconnect it and power it off at once and refer to its operation manual.
Keep the charger well away from dust, water, heat, direct sunshine and vibration.
Chargers, and the batteries being charged, should be put on a heat resistant, non-inflammable and non-con-
ductive surface. Never place them on cloth seats, carpet or similar materials. Keep all inflammable, volatile
materials away from the operating area.
Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries:
• A battery pack which consists of different types of cells and/or from different manufacturers.
•
A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged.
• Non-rechargeable batteries (this is an explosion hazard).
•
Batteries that require a different charge technique from LiPo batteries.
• Damaged or faulty batteries.
DO NOT use a battery that shows signs of damage. This includes damage to the cells,
wires, and connectors associated with the battery.
