Use 5V/3A charging plugs. Fast charging
plugs exceeding 5V/3A are prohibited. (5V/3.0A )
USB Adapter
Please fully charge the battery for the first time before using it.
It is recommended to charge and discharge it once a month, do not
store it fully charged, keep 50%-60% of the electricity, the storage
temperature is 10-40°C, and the best storage temperature is 19-21°C.
Water enters the battery and the battery protection board fails, which
will cause the battery to not be used normally. Do not use the battery
in rain or in a humid environment, as this may cause the battery to
self-ignite or even explode.
If the battery is squeezed, deformed, and dropped from a high
altitude, it is forbidden to use it again.
Prohibition of prolonged high-temperature exposure. The high
temperature of the battery will cause the internal pressure of the
battery to be too high and cause an explosion.
If the aircraft has not been used for a month, the battery must be
removed to prevent the battery from being in a long-term low-power
discharge state.
