1.
Never leave batteries unattended while charging, even when using a LiPo
safety sack or other fireproof container. Batteries on charge MUST remain
under constant observation so that you may react quickly should any problems
arise.
2.
LiPo batteries, 2S and greater, feature a separate balancing plug that
isolates
each cell in a pack and allows each to be charged and monitored
independently. This
ensures that all cells charge equally and discharge at
the same rate during use. Never
charge a 2S or greater LiPo battery without
connecting the balance lead to the
charger. Always balance charge a 2S or
greater LiPo batter
.
3.
Charge each battery pack individually. Never charge battery packs in
series.
Charging packs in series may result in improper charger cell
recognition, improper
charging rate, and over charging that may lead to a
fire. We recommend using a LiPo
balance charger when charging your LiPo
batteries.
4.
Always check to make sure that your LiPo charger settings match
those listed
on the battery pack label. Refer to the battery label for the
proper cell count and 1C
charging amperage setting.

Battery Disposal Instructions & Safety Warning
s
1.
Any battery that has been subjected to conditions outside of normal
use,
shows signs of swelling, “ballooning”, damage or has been retired from
use
should be disposed of properly. We recommend transporting these
battery
packs to an approved disposal facility while observing the applicable
safety
warnings
above.
2.
Check with your local waste facility to determine if they can handle disposal of
lithium
batteries and if they are permitted. Many stores also offer free recycling of
rechargeable
batteries. To find a drop-off location near you please visit: http://www.call2recycle.org/locator

Before using
your vessel
in the field, it is important to conduct a systems check to
ensure the job is successful. The first check for operation is checking battery voltage.
Due to regulations, LiPo batteries must be discharged for shipping, and it is important
for their health and longevity that they are charged fully before being used.
