Hubsan Safety Advisory Notice for Lithium-Polymer (LiPo)
Batteries
LiPo batteries are different from conventional batteries in that their
chemical contents are encased in a relatively lightweight foil packaging.
This has the advantage of significantly reducing their weight but it does
make them more susceptible to damage if roughly or inappropriately
handled. As with all batteries, there is a risk of fire or explosion if safety
practices are ignored:
1. Do not disassemble or reassemble the battery.
2. Do not short-circuit the battery.
3. Do not use or charge near sources of heat.
4. Do not put the battery in contact with water or any kind of liquid.
5. Do not charge batteries under sunlight or near fire.
6. Do not puncture or subject the battery to force of any kind.
7. Do not throw or manhandle the battery.
8. Never charge a battery that has been damaged, become deformed or
swelled.
9. Do not solder on or near the battery.
10. Do not overcharge or over discharge the battery.
11. Do not reverse charge or reverse the battery polarities.
● If you do not plan to fly the quad for a long time, store the battery
~50% charged to maintain battery performance and life.
● Please use Hubsan chargers for battery charging.
● Discharge the battery at 5C current or below. To avoid discharge related
battery damage, do not prolong the discharge time.
● Do not charge on carpet to avoid fire.
● Batteries need to be recharged if unused for over 3 months.
03

12. Do not connect the battery to a car charger/cigarette lighter or any
kind of unconventional power source.
13. This battery is prohibited for non-designated devices.
14. Do not touch any kind of liquid waste or byproduct from batteries. If
skin or clothes come in contact with these substances, please flush with
water!
15. Do not mix other types of batteries with lithium batteries.
16. Do not exceed the specified charging time.
17. Do not place the battery in a microwave or in areas of high pressure.
18. Do not expose the battery to the sun.
19. Do not use in environments with high static electricity (64V and
above).
20. Do not use or charge in temperatures below 0 ℃ and above 45 ℃.
21. If a newly purchased battery is used, leaking, possesses a bad smell
or other abnormalities, return immediately to the vendor.
22. Keep away from the reach of children.
23. Use a dedicated battery charger and follow all charging require-
ments.

The H123D is capable of 360° rollovers and flips; you may use this
capability by following the below steps. To better perform flips and rolls,
please ensure that the aircraft is at a safe height from the ground. It is best
to roll and flip the aircraft while it is ascending, so that it more easily
maintains its height after flipping or rolling.
