6. Rechargeable Battery Notes
Although use of rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today, there are many
dangers and problems. In particular, with LiPo/LiIon/LiFe/LiHV rechargeable batteries with their
high energy content (in comparison with conventional NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries),
various regulations must be observed in order to avoid the danger of explosion and fire.
For this reason, always ensure that you have read and understood the following information and
safety information when handling rechargeable batteries.
If the manufacturer of the rechargeable battery has provided any other information, read it carefully
and observe it!
a) General
• Rechargeable batteries are no toys. Always keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of
children.
• Do not leave rechargeable batteries lying around openly. Children or pets may swallow them. If swal-
lowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. There is a risk of fire
and explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin when touched
without the use of adequate protective gloves.
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Non-rechargeable batteries are meant to be used once only and must be disposed of properly when
empty.
Only charge rechargeable batteries intended for this purpose. Use a suitable battery charger.
• Batteries must not get damp or wet.
• Place the charger and battery on a non-flammable, heat-resistant surface (e.g. stone tiles). Maintain
enough distance from flammable objects. Leave enough distance between the charger and the re-
chargeable battery - never place the rechargeable battery on the charger.
• As both the charger and the battery heat up during the charge/discharge procedure, it is necessary to
ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the charger or the rechargeable battery!
• Never use battery packs made up of different cells.
• Never leave the charging/discharging batteries unattended.
• Never recharge a battery directly in the model. Always remove the rechargeable battery from the model
for recharging.
• Always observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when connecting the rechargeable battery to your
model or charger. Connecting the battery incorrectly will not only damage the model but also the re-
chargeable battery. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
This charger has a mechanism that protects against connecting the poles incorrectly. Nonetheless, it is
possible that an incorrectly connected battery may lead to damage in certain situations.
