Recharge battery only with the supplied charger.
Charging time is about 1 to 1.5 hours.
In regular use, make sure the battery is always fully charged.
During a long time of inactivity, charge battery onto 40% and recharge it to this level every 2
to 3 months. This avoids a deep discharge of the battery which could lead to a breakdown of
the battery.
Avoid discharging the battery completely, as this tends to damage the battery capacity.
8.2 User manual battery
LiPo rechargeable batteries offer very high energy density, but they do require special care. This
applies to handling the cells in general, but particularly when charging and discharging them.
Mistreatment may lead to premature ageing and defects, and even to fire and explosion in an extreme
case.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
Important:
Charge battery only at a temperature above 5 °C.
Below this temperature the battery may suffer a malfunction.
