However, even before the LVC takes place, if you find that more than typical throttle is needed to power the
boat you should drive it back to yourself and disconnect the battery immediately to avoid over-discharge. It is
NOT recommended that you continue to drive the boat after LVC occurs or permanent damage to the battery
could occur leading to reduced power and run times with future use. Note that operation of the battery is NOT
covered under warranty.
It is also not recommended that you continually run the battery to the “soft” LVC with each operation. You
should be aware of the power level of the battery each time you drive the boat and as soon as you find
that it requires more throttle than normal to maintain speed you should drive the boat back to yourself and
disconnect the battery immediately. Continually running the battery to the soft LVC can cause permanent
damage to the battery, so it is best to keep track of your run time and discontinue use prior to reaching the soft
LVC.
Important Note: Do not leave the battery connected to the ESC unless you are ready to run the
boat. If the battery is left connected when it is not in use, it will become over-discharged and
the battery will become damaged and unusable.
Important Note: Do not store the battery fully charged
For improved safety and longevity of the battery it is recommended that it be stored partially charged for
any length of time. Storing the Li-ion battery at approximately 50% charged (approximately 3.85V per cell) is
typically best. This will take some management of the charge time and the use of a voltmeter. If you do not
have the equipment or experience to maintain the 50% charge, simply be sure not to store the battery fully
charged whenever possible. In fact, as long as the battery will be stored at approximately room temperature
and for no more than a few weeks before the next use, it is better to store the battery in the discharged state
after the last use – as long as it was not over-discharged below the LVC.
LiPo Battery Warning
IMPORTANT NOTE: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries
are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd
or NiMH batteries also used in RC applications. All
instructions and warnings must be followed exactly
to prevent property damage and/or personal injury
as mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire. By
handling, charging or using the included LiPo battery
you assume all risks associated with LiPo 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 charge the LiPo battery in a safe area
away from flammable materials.
• NEVER charge the LiPo battery unattended
at any time. When charging the battery you
should ALWAYS remain in constant observation
to monitor the charging process and react
immediately to any potential problems that may
occur.
• After discharging the battery you must allow it
to cool to ambient/room temperature before
recharging.
• To charge the LiPo battery you MUST use only a
suitable LiPo battery charger. Failure to do so may
result in a fire causing property damage and/or
personal injury. DO NOT use a NICD or NIMH
charger.
• If at any time during the charge or discharge
process the 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 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.
