LiPo Batteries
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are becoming popular for
use in R/C models due to their compact size, high energy
density, and high-current output. However, these types
of batteries require special care and handling procedures
for long life and safe operation.
Warning
: LiPo batteries
are intended only for advanced users that are educated
on the risks associated with LiPo battery use.
Traxxas does
not recommend that anyone under the age of 16 use or
handle LiPo battery packs without the supervision of a
knowledgeable and responsible adult.
The VXL-3s electronic speed control is able to use LiPo
batteries with nominal voltage not to exceed 11.1 volts
(3S packs) volts. LiPo batteries have a minimum safe
discharge voltage threshold that should not be exceeded.
The Velineon VXL-3s 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.
Low-Voltage Detection on the speed control is just one
part of a comprehensive plan for safe LiPo battery use.
It is critical for you, the user, to follow all other
instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer and
the charger manufacturer for proper charging, use, and
storage of LiPo batteries.
Make sure you understand
how to use your LiPo batteries. Be aware that Traxxas
shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or
consequential damages arising out of the installation
and/or use of LiPo batteries in Traxxas products.
If you have questions about LiPo battery usage, please
consult with your local hobby dealer or contact the battery
manufacturer.
