Your model is able to use LiPo batteries. Charging and discharging batteries has the potential for re,
explosion, serious injury, and property damage if not performed per the instructions. Before use, read and
follow all manufacturer
’
s instructions, warnings, and precautions. In addition, Lithium Polymer (LiPo)
batteries pose a SEVERE risk of re if not properly handled per the instructions and require special care
and handling procedures for long life and safe operation. LiPo batteries are intended only for advanced
users that are educated on the risks associated with LiPo battery use. TRACTION HOBBY does not
recommend that anyone under the age of 14 use or handle LiPo battery packs without the supervision of
Important Warnings for users of Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries:
1.LiPo batteries have a minimum safe discharge voltage threshold that should not be exceeded. The
electronic speed control is equipped with built-in Low-Voltage Detection that alerts the driver when LiPo
batteries have reached their minimum voltage (discharge) threshold. It is the driver’s responsibility to stop
immediately to prevent the battery pack from being discharged below its safe minimum threshold.
2.Low-Voltage Detection is just one part of a comprehensive plan for safe LiPo battery use. It is critical to
follow all instructions for safe and proper charging, use, and storage of LiPo batteries. Make sure you
understand how to use your LiPo batteries. If you have questions about LiPo battery usage, please
consult with your local hobby dealer or contact the battery manufacturer. As a reminder,all batteries should
be recycled at the end of their useful life.
3.ONLY use a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) balance charger with a balance adapter port to charge LiPo batteries.
Never use NiMH or NiCad type chargers or charge modes to charge LiPo batteries. DO NOT charge with
a NiMH-only charger. The use of a NiMH or NiCad charger or charge mode will damage the batteries and
may cause re and personal injury.
4. NEVER charge LiPo battery packs in series or parallel. Charging packs in series or parallel may result in
improper charger cell recognition and an improper charging rate that may lead to overcharging, cell
imbalance, cell damage, and re.
5.ALWAYS inspect your LiPo batteries carefully before charging. Look for any loose leads or connectors,
damaged wire insulation, damaged cell packaging, impact damage, uid leaks, swelling (a sign of internal
damage), cell deformity, missing labels, or any other damage or irregularity.If any of these conditions are
observed, do not charge or use the battery pack. Follow the disposal instructions included with your
battery to properly and safely dispose of the battery.
6.DO NOT store or charge LiPo batteries with or around other batteries or battery packs of any type,
including other LiPos.
7.Store and transport your battery pack(s) in a cool dry place.DO NOT store in direct sunlight. DO NOT
allow the storage temperature to exceed 140°F or 60°C, such as in the trunk of a car, or the cells may be
damaged and create a re risk.
8.DO NOT disassemble LiPo batteries or cells.
9.DO NOT attempt to build your own LiPo battery pack from loo
Charging and handling precautions for all battery types:
1.BEFORE you charge, ALWAYS conrm that the charger settings exactly match the type (chemistry),
specication, and conguration of the battery to be charged.
2. DO NOT attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries (explosion hazard), batteries that have an internal
charge circuit or a protection circuit, batteries that have been altered from original manufacturer
conguration, or batteries that have missing or unreadable labels,preventing you from properly identifying
the battery type and specications.
3.DO NOT exceed the maximum manufacturer recommended charge rate.
