leave charging batteries unattended. You should always remain in
constant observation to monitor the charging process and react
immediately to any potential problems that may occur.
• Do not charge the battery in temperatures hotter than 40°C or
colder than 0°C.
• Do not cover the batteries when charging. Do not leave batteries in
direct sunlight.
• After each flight & or crash, please check batteries for any damage
or swelling.
