BATTERY WARNINGS AND USAGE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries.
All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury as the mishandling of Li-
ion batteries can result in fire.
By handling, charging or using the included Li-ion battery you assume all risks associated with Li-ion batteries.
If you do not agree with these conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition to the place of purchase
immediately.
You must always charge the Li-ion battery in a safe, well-ventilated area away from flammable material.
Never charge the Li-ion battery unattended at anytime. When charging the battery you must always remain in constant observation
to monitor the charging process and react immediately to any potential problems that may occur.
After flying/discharging the Li-ion battery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging.
To charge the Li-ion battery you must use only the included charger or a suitably compatible Li-ion battery charger.
Failure to do so may result in a fire causing property damage and/or serious injury.
If at any time the Li-ion battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately.
Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least
15 minutes.
Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire.
A battery that has ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service completely.
Do not over-discharge the Li-ion battery. Discharging the battery too low can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced
power, flight duration or failure of the battery entirely.
Li-ion cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load.
Store the Li-ion battery at room temperature and in a dry area for best results.
When charging, transporting or temporarily storing the Li-ion battery the temperature range should be from approximately
40–120° F (5–49° C).
Do not store the battery or aircraft in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery can be damaged
or even catch fire.
Never leave batteries, chargers and power supplies unattended during use.
Never attempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged or wet batteries.
Never allow children under 14 years of age to charge batteries.
Never charge a battery if any of the wire leads have been damaged or shorted.
Never attempt to disassemble the battery, charger or power supply.
