10.
Make sure the battery connections are connected in the proper
polarity.
11.
Battery packs should be properly secured within the vehicle to
prevent
movement and damage to the battery while in use.
12.
If the battery exceeds temperatures of 140 Fº / 60Cº immediately
discontinue
charging and isolate the battery pack. Refer to point number
two above from the
Safety Warnings for further instruction.
13.
Do not, under any circumstances, heat up a battery pack in an
attempt to
increase pack performance. Doing so greatly increases the risk
of fire.
14.
Never allow your model to discharge a LiPo battery pack at more than
the
recommended continuous discharge rate. Refer to the label of your
specific battery to
determine the proper continuous discharge rate. You
must also refer to your specific
vehicle user manual to ensure your batteries
continuous discharge rate is not
exceeded.
15.
Damaged or ruptured battery packs or cells may leak electrolytes
which can
cause moderate to severe irritation including burning and
dryness of the skin and
eyes. For contact with the skin, thoroughly wash
the affected area with soap and
warm water. For contact with the eyes,
rinse thoroughly with cool water. Seek
immediate medical attention for any
burns.

Due to international shipping regulations, LiPo batteries are not
shipped fully
charged. All LiPo battery packs should be fully
charged prior
to the first use.
2.
Always use a charger specifically designed for LiPo batteries. Never
use
NiCD or NiMH chargers to charge LiPo batteries.
Failure to observe any of the following precautions can result in
fire, explosion and cause personal injury.
Before Charging
Important Information Regarding
C
harg
ing
& Safety Warnings
1.
For the longest lifecycle and most thorough charging of your LiPo battery we
recommend a 1C charge rate. Batteries that are properly maintained have an average lifespan
of 150-250 charge cycles. Many batteries are capable of higher charge rates to reduce charge
times. While your charge time will be greatly reduced, the lifespan of your pack will also be
reduced with repeated charging above 1C. Always confirm and follow your specific packs
maximum charge rate as shown on the battery label.
2.
Do not charge LiPo batteries to more than 4.2 Volts per cell for normal voltage
batteries, or 4.35 Volts per cell for High Voltage (LiHV) LiPo batteries. Refer to the label of
your specific battery for maximum cell and pack voltage.
3.
Always charge batteries in a LiPo safety sack or other fireproof container (not included).
Do not charge any type of battery on or near any flammable materials including in or near your
model.
