Recycling Your Traxxas Power Cell NiMH Battery
Traxxas strongly encourages you to recycle your Power Cell NiMH
battery when it has reached the end of its useful life.
Do not throw
your battery in the trash. All Power Cell NiMH battery packs display
the RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) icon,
indicating they are recyclable. To find a recycling center near you,
ask your local hobby dealer or visit www.call2recycle.org.
LiPo Batteries
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are becoming popular for use
in R/C models due to their compact size, high energy density,
and high-current output. However, these types of batteries
require special care and handling procedures for long life and
safe operation.
WARNING: LiPo batteries are intended only for
advanced users that are educated on the risks associated with
LiPo battery use. Traxxas does not recommend that anyone
under the age of 16 use or handle LiPo battery packs without the
supervision of a knowledgeable and responsible adult.
Your model is able to use LiPo batteries with nominal voltage not
to exceed 11.1 volts (3S packs). 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 alerts the driver 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 on the speed control is just one part of a
comprehensive plan for safe LiPo battery use. It is critical for you,
the user, to follow all other instructions supplied by the battery
manufacturer and the charger manufacturer for proper charging,
use, and storage of LiPo batteries. Make sure you understand how to
use your LiPo batteries. Be aware that Traxxas shall not be liable for
any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising
out of the installation and/or use of LiPo batteries in Traxxas models.
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.
