BATTERY WARNINGS
Only use the included
2200mAh / 7.4V Li-ion battery
.
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte
from the batteries is corrosive and may cause burns or injury
to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.
Exercise care when handling the batteries. Do not allow
conductive materials such as rings, bracelets or keys to touch
the batteries, otherwise a short circuit may cause the batteries
and / or conductive material to overheat and cause burns.
Expected battery life: approximately
10 hours of full
