Ba ery Safety Precau ons
Important Note: Lithium Polymer (LiPo)
ba eries are more vola le than the alkaline,
NiCad and NiMH ba eries used in other RC
applica ons. All instruc ons and warnings must
be followed exactly to prevent possible personal
injury or damage to property, including by fi re.
By handling, charging, or using the included LiPo
ba ery you assume all poten al risks. If you do
not agree with these condi ons, please return
your complete product in new, unused condi on
to the place of purchase immediately.
Important - Please read the following safety
instruc ons and warnings before handling,
charging, or using the included ba ery.
• You must charge you LiPo ba ery in a safe
area away from any fl ammable materials.
• Never charge the LiPo ba ery una ended
at any me. When charging the ba ery you
should always remain in constant observa on
of the ba ery to monitor the process and
react immediately to poten al problems you
observe.
• A er discharging the ba ery during opera on
you must allow it to cool to ambient
room temperature before a emp ng to
recharge. Also, it is NOT recommended
that you completely discharge the ba ery
before charging. It is safe to charge par ally
discharged ba eries when using an
appropriate LiPo charger.
• For charging the ba ery you must use only
the included charger. Failure to do so may
result in a fi re causing property damage
and/or personal injury. DO NOT use a NiCad
or NiMh charger to charge your new LiPo
ba ery.
• If, at any me during the charge or discharge
process, the ba ery begins to “balloon” or
swell, discon nue charging or discharging
immediately! Quickly and safely disconnect
the ba ery before placing it in a safe,
open area away from fl ammable materials
for observa on for at least 15 minutes.
Con nuing to charge or discharge a ba ery
that has started to “balloon” or swell can
result in a fi re. Important note: A ba ery
that has “ballooned” or swollen even a small
amount must be removed from service
immediately and completely.
• Never discharge a LiPo ba ery below 3V
per cell.
• Always disconnect a ba ery from the ESC
when the product is not in use.
• Avoid con nually opera ng the ba ery to LVC
(Low Voltage Cutoff ) as this could result in
damage to the ba ery.
• Store the ba ery par ally charged
(approximately 50% charged or 3.85V per cell)
at room temperature (approximately 68º to
77º Fahrenheit) in a dry area for best results.
• When transpor ng or temporarily storing
the ba ery, the temperature range should
be between 40º and 100ºF. Do not store the
ba ery inside a hot car or in direct sunlight
or the ba ery could be damaged or even
catch fi re.
• LiPo cells should not be discharged below
3.0V each. In the case of this 1-cell, 3.7V
ba ery you should not allow the voltage to
fall below 3.0V during opera on.
• Do not over-discharge the LiPo ba ery, doing
so could result in reduced power, lower run
mes or complete failure of the ba ery.
NOTE: Your aircra features a “so ” LVC (Low
Voltage Cutoff ) that smoothly reduces power
(regardless of your thro le posi on) to let you
know the ba ery is near the minimum voltage to
avoid damage to your ba ery.
