Important Warnings for users of Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries:
• 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 stops the vehicle 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 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.
• 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 fire and personal injury.
•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 fire.
• ALWAYS inspect your LiPo batteries carefully before charging. Look for any loose leads or connectors, damaged wire
insulation, damaged cell packaging, impact damage, fluid 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.
• DO NOT store or charge LiPo batteries with or around other batteries or battery packs of any type, including other LiPos.
• 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 fire risk.
• DO NOT disassemble LiPo batteries or cells.
•DO NOT attempt to build your own LiPo battery pack from loose cells.
Charging and handling precautions for all battery types:
• BEFORE you charge, ALWAYS confirm that the charger settings exactly match the type (chemistry), specification, and
configuration of the battery to be charged.
• 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 configuration, or batteries that have missing or
unreadable labels, preventing you from properly identifying the battery type and Specifications.
• DO NOT exceed the maximum manufacturer recommended charge Rate.
• DO NOT let any exposed battery contacts or wires touch each other. This will cause the battery to short circuit and create the
risk of fire.
• While charging or discharging, ALWAYS place the battery (all types of batteries) in a fire retardant/fire proof container and on
a non-flammable surface such as concrete.
• DO NOT charge batteries inside of an automobile. DO NOT charge batteries while driving in an automobile.
• NEVER charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet, or on any other flammable material.
• ALWAYS charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• REMOVE flammable items and combustible materials from the charging area.
• DO NOT leave the charger and battery unattended while charging, discharging, or anytime the charger is ON with a battery
connected. If there are any signs of a malfunction or in the event of an emergency, unplug the charger from the power source
and disconnect the battery from the charger.
• DO NOT operate the charger in a cluttered space, or place objects on top of the charger or battery.
• If any battery or battery cell is damaged in any way, DO NOT charge, discharge, or use the battery.
• Keep a Class D fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire.
