IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE FOR RC BOAT BATTERY
* Keep Li-Ion batteries away from children and animals.
* Never use or charge a Li-Ion battery that has ballooned or swelled.
* Never use or charge a Li-Ion battery that has been punctured or damaged.
* After a crash, inspect the battery pack for signs of damage.
* Never overcharge a Li-Ion battery.
* Do not charge Li-Ion batteries near ammable materials or liquids.
* Do not put the battery in a high temperature place or in direct sunlight. Reduce risks of re or explosion
by storing Li-Ion batteries inside a Li-Ion safe bag.
* Do not put battery packs in pockets or bags where they can short circuit or can come into contact with
sharp or metallic objects.
* Do not attempt to disassemble or modify or repair the Li-Ion battery.
* Do not use the battery to break or hit a hard surface.
* Do not put the battery in water and keep it stored at room temperature in a dry place.
* Do not leave the battery unsupervised when charging.
* Make sure that there is no short circuit of the power wire.

computer’s USB port, power bank or phone wall charger to charge the battery.
* To avoid trickle charging, always unplug the battery from the USB charger when storing or leaving
unattended.
* Check the charger’s wire, plug, and surface regularly. Do not use a broken charger.
* If you are going more than one week without using Li-Ion batteries it is best to keep them stored at a
50% charge.

LI-ION BATTERY CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Temperature:
• Heat is a known factor in battery res. If a battery is pushed beyond 60ºC/140°F during discharging or
charging, problems could occur due to metallic lithium generation, which damages the cell.
• After a ight, you may nd your batteries are warm or hot to the touch. Give the batteries a chance to
cool down before recharging.
• Do not leave batteries exposed to direct sunlight.
Storage:
• Store batteries at normal room temperature and avoid direct exposure to sunlight or heat. When storing
LiPo / Li-Ion batteries for any length of time, they should ideally be stored at a temperature of between
5ºC/40°F & 27ºC/80°F.
• If you have a battery pack fully charged, do not try to charge further until it has been partially or fully
discharged!
Usage:
• Leave time between charging and using the battery.
• To extend the lifetime of the battery, plan to end operation with about 20% power remaining in the
batteries (rather than completely draining them)
• If the battery is pushed beyond its limits, the battery could get hot and the performance will drop.
• When using the battery for a long time, the battery will increase in temperature. If it is sealed, the air
inside will inate rapidly causing further heating.
Charging:
• Do NOT overcharge the battery. It may cause overheating and in turn this overheating could damage
the battery or melt/burn surfaces it is resting on to charge.
• Never try charging a battery that has been damaged, you run the risk of re! Cells that are obviously
swollen or have physical damage should never be used and careful disposal is required, especially if
the cells are swollen.
• If you feel like the battery is not charging properly, try plugging it into another charger if one is available
and see if the issue persists. If the charger is defective you should discard it immediately and go to
Force1RC.com to purchase a replacement. You may also contact our support team at support@force1rc.
com so we can arrange to ship you a replacement charger and/or batteries if within the warranty period.
• Remove the battery from the device, inspect the battery and battery connections. Ensure there is no
damaged to the battery, battery pins or contacts on the device. If you have damage to the battery or
charging pins, discontinue use and visit Force1RC.com to purchase replacement parts. You may also
contact us at [e-mail] for a replacement piece if within warranty.
• After crashing the boat, always check the battery and connectors for damage. If any part is damaged
get spare parts from Force1 RC.com.
• Please use genuine factory spare parts replacements from Force1RC.com
