• Only use a suitable charger to charge lithium batteries or use the correct charging
procedure. Due to a risk of fire and explosion, conventional chargers for NiCd, NiMH
and lead batteries must not be used!
Always choose the right charging procedure depending on rechargeable battery.
• When charging a lithium battery with more than one cell, always use a so-called
balancer (one is already integrated into the supplied charger).
• Charge LiPo batteries with a max. charging current of 1C (if not indicated oth -
erwise by the battery manufacturer!). This means that the charging current may
not exceed the capacity value imprinted on the battery (e.g. battery capacity
1000 mAh, max. charging current 1000 mA = 1 A).
With LiFe and LiIon batteries, you must observe the instructions of the battery
manufacturer.
• The discharging current must not exceed the value printed on the battery.
For example, if a value of "20C" is printed on a LiPo battery, the max. discharging
current is 20 times the battery's capacity (e.g. battery capacity 1000 mAh, max.
discharging current 20C = 20 x 1000 mA = 20 A).
Otherwise, the battery will overheat, causing deformation/bloating of the battery or
explosion and fire!
The printed value (e.g "20C") does not generally refer to the constant current, but to
the maximum current that the battery is capable of producing in the short-term. The
constant current therefore should not be higher than one half of the given value.
• Observe that the individual cells of a lithium rechargeable battery must not be deep-
discharged. A deep discharge of a lithium rechargeable battery will lead to perma-
nent damage/destruction of the rechargeable battery.
If the model does not provide protection against total discharge or possess a visual
display indicating a low battery, remember to switch off the model in time.
