Li-Po (Lithium-Polymer) batteries are designed to out perform
Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries in the areas of weight, voltage and
capacity, but greater care must be taken to insure safe use in
regards to your vehicle, person and surroundings.
The nature of Li-Po batteries is the capacity and performance
gains comes at a cost in the areas of safety and maintenance.
Used correctly your Li-Po battery pack will prove to be safe and
reliable.
The Li-Po technology requires special chargers and different
ways of charging and caring for your battery pack than you
have been accustomed to with Ni-Cd and Ni-MH. More care is
required with Li-Po especially during charging and storing.
WARNING!
Li-Po batteries are unlike Ni-Cd and Ni-MH and cannot be
charged, used, treated or stored in the same manner. The
nature of the Li-Po battery pack is that the failure to follow the
care and handling instructions provided can result in severe
permanent damage to the battery pack, its surroundings, your
person and it can even start a re.

present.
• Charge only with a Li-Po compatible charger that has a
constant current/constant voltage (cc/cv) circuit, your enclosed
Trinity charger has these specications.
Never use a charger designed for Ni-Cd/Ni-MH. This will result
in catastrophic failure of the battery that can result in serious re
and personal injury. Charging the battery pack with any charger
other then the one supplied will void any warranty on the battery
packs and can result in a catastrophic failure of the battery
and cause damage to the battery, its surroundings, and cause
personal injury.
• Never charge battery while in your helicopter. A hot battery
pack could ignite foam, plastic or wood.
• Do not charge at currents greater then the battery packs 1C
rating. A higher setting may cause re. Your Trinity balanced
charger will automatically charge your battery at the correct
rate.
• Do not trickle charge your Li-Po batteries. Your Trinity charger
has no trickle mode and stops charging when the battery
becomes fully charged.
• Always use a Li-Po compatible charger that automatically
detects the number of cells. Your Li-Po pack has 2 cells. The
balancing plug will only t in the 3 cell port of your charger.
• Do not allow battery temperature to exceed 140˚F /60˚C while
charging. Batteries, which exceed these temperatures more
then likely, have become damaged and can possibly catch re.
Always inspect any battery pack than may have become over
heated and if you suspect damage do not reuse.
• Discontinue charging immediately if you see any smoke or
swelling of the battery pack. This could cause the battery pack
to rupture and leak. The chemicals used in Li-Po battery packs
on exposure to the air may cause the chemicals to ignite.
Disconnect battery and leave in a safe reproof location for 60
minutes.
• Your Trinity Reference Li-PRO™ battery pack has a balanced
charger input. This is to be used only with a balance charger
like the (Trinity TRI22004) charger. This type of charger
balances the cells making your battery more stable and higher
performing.
• Monitor battery pack through out entire charge cycle. Do not
leave unattended.
•The small balance charger plug is used only for balance
charging. Do not fast charge through this connection.
USING & DISCHARGING:
• Make sure you stop running as soon as helicopter slows down.
With a Li-Po battery you never want to drain the battery all
the way down. Your helicopter will no longer produce lift when
battery voltage drops to point you should stop using battery.
Unplug battery pack and store it in safe area.
• Do not discharge the batteries with current exceeding
their specied maximum continuous discharge current (C),
otherwise, it will cause the batteries to overheat and result in
battery deterioration, burst, balloon or may even cause re or
explosion.
•Stop using or charging the battery immediately whenever
a battery becomes damaged, gives off an odor, becomes
discolored or deformed, starts to balloon or swell up, leaks,
its temperature reaches over 160˚F (71˚C) or anything else
abnormal occurs, disconnect the battery and observe it in a safe
re proof place.
•Never discharge Li-Po battery below the Lowest Discharge
Voltage, as it may cause irreversible damage that will
deteriorate the battery performance and cycle life. Stop using
battery as soon as vehicle slows.
• Discharge only in reproof area.
DAMAGED BATTERIES:
•Because of the nature of Li-Po technology batteries subjected
to crash damage are much more dangerous then Ni-Cd or Ni-
MH cells. The battery may appear to have no physical damage
however there could be a delayed chemical reaction which
could cause the battery to smolder, smoke and catch re even
an hour after subjected to a crash. After a crash remove battery
and place in reproof location for observation. Leave for 24
hours for safety.
•Inspect battery packs for even the smallest crack, split,
puncture or any damage to wires or connectors.
•Cells may get hot. DO NOT ALLOW the batteries electrolyte to
get in eyes or on your skin. Wash affected areas immediately.
If splashed in eyes ush with large amounts of water for 15
minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
STORAGE:
•For long-term storage charge battery fully and discharge to 50
to 60% capacity.
•Always store batteries in reproof container. Never in
helicopter.
•Store battery at room temperature in cool shaded area.
•Store battery in temperature between 40 to 75˚F.
•Store battery out of direct sunlight and away from any liquids.
Do not let battery get wet.
•Never transport batteries in your pit box or helicopter. Always

transport in reproof container.
•Make sure all plugs and connectors are covered to prevent
accidental shorting.
•Never leave your Li-Po battery pack in your full size automobile
as temperatures can easily exceed 120˚F damaging your
battery.
HANDLING:
•Never charge or discharge your Li-Po battery pack around
combustible materials.
•Never carry battery pack in pocket of clothing.
•Never store batteries near heat or open ame.
•Never allow battery to come in contact with water. If battery
becomes wet wipe off immediately with rag.
•Never solder to battery pack. Soldering to Li-Po cells has to be
done by professional Li-Po battery assemblers under controlled
conditions.
•Never assemble Li-Po battery with any other Li-Po or other
type of battery pack.
•Never disassemble, alter, modify, puncture, mechanical shock,
crash and/or short the battery, it may cause leakage, smoke
emissions, ignition, explosion and even re, which may result in
personal injury and property damage.
•Never charge without “ABC type” Lithium approved re
extinguisher readily available in case of re.
•Keep all metallic objects away form battery pack. Shorting
battery pack can cause re and personal injury.
•If battery pack becomes overheated immediately put battery in
reproof container or location until battery pack cools.
•Always make sure there is adequate ventilation around battery
pack while charging, discharging and during storage.
•Never store battery in R/C vehicle.
FIRST AID:
•Do not allow the battery packs electrolyte make contact with
eyes or skin. If this happens was affected areas with soap and
water immediately. If electrolyte comes in contact with eyes,
ush with large amounts of water for approximately 15 minutes
and seek medical attention immediately.
•If your battery leaks electrolyte, vapors or smokes do not
inhale the leaked material or fumes. Leave the area and allow
battery pack to cool and vapors to dissipate. Remove spilled
liquid with absorbent material and wash area thoroughly with
soap and water.
DISPOSAL:
•Li-Po batteries are environmentally friendly and do not need to
be recycled like Ni-Cd. Although there is no recycling required
Li-Po batteries need special care before disposing of them.
•Do not throw batteries directly in trash. There are measures
you must take to dispose of damaged and undamaged battery
packs. Throwing batteries directly in trash can result in re.
