LITHIUM BATTERY WARNING
5
ALWAYS
ALWAYS
remove the motor batteries from the plane
when charging.
ALWAYS
follow the charging instructions included with
your charger for charging LiPo batteries. LiPo batteries
can cause serious damage or fire if misused.
ALWAYS
use a LiPo-approved charger.
ALWAYS
set the charger’s output volts to match the
battery volts.
ALWAYS
charge a LiPo battery in a fireproof location
away from combustible materials.
ALWAYS
balance charge the battery.
ALWAYS
store and transport LiPo batteries in a fireproof
container away from combustible materials.
ALWAYS
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
ALWAYS
keep LiPo batteries out of the reach of animals.
A punctured battery may cause a fire.
ALWAYS
disconnect the battery and unplug the charger
after the charge is complete.
ALWAYS
keep a supply of sand accessible when charging
a LiPo battery. Dumping sand on the battery will assist
in extinguishing a LiPo chemical fire.
ALWAYS
remove the batteries from the plane after a
crash. Set them aside in a safe location for at least 20
minutes. If the batteries are damaged in the crash, they
could catch fire. If the battery starts to swell, quickly move
the battery to a safe location, preferably outside away
from combustible material. Place it in a bucket, covering
the battery with sand.
NEVER
NEVER
use water to try and put out a LiPo fire.
NEVER
charge or use a battery that is deformed, bent,
crushed, swollen, or has any type of visible damage.
NEVER
use a NiCd/NiMH peak charger to charge a
LiPo battery.
NEVER
charge in excess of 4.20V per cell unless the
battery is rated for a higher voltage.
NEVER
charge at currents greater than 1C unless the
battery is rated for a higher charge rate.
NEVER
trickle-charge a LiPo battery.
NEVER
allow the battery temperature to exceed 140
degrees F (60 degrees C).
NEVER
disassemble or modify the pack wiring in any
way or puncture the cells, as this may result in a fire.
NEVER
discharge below 2.7V per cell. It is recommended
to not discharge below 3.7V per cell.
NEVER
charge the battery or set the charger on
combustible materials.
NEVER
charge the battery inside a vehicle or in a location
that could be damaged in the event of a LiPo fire.
NEVER
put a LiPo battery in the pocket of any clothing.
NEVER
charge the batteries in the plane. Disconnect the
batteries and remove them from the plane immediately
after landing.
NEVER
allow the battery to short circuit by touching
exposed wires together. This may cause a fire.
NEVER
operate or store batteries below 40˚F or above
110˚F (4-43˚C)
MOST IMPORTANT!
Never leave the battery or charger unattended during charging
or discharging.
WARNING:
Read the entire instruction sheet included with your
motor batteries. Failure to follow the instructions could cause
permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings and cause
bodily harm!
This product uses a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery.
Improper handling could result in FIRE! A lithium battery
fire has the potential to ignite surrounding areas and may
cause property damage or cause personal injury. For safe
LiPo handling, follow all of these guidelines:
