CHARGING WARNINGS

WARNING
1. Always use a charger specifically designed for the chemistry of the battery to be charged.
Never use NiCD or NiMH type chargers to charge LiPO batteries. Never use a LiPO type
charger to charge NiCD or NiMH batteries. Failure to do so will damage the batteries and
may cause fire and personal injury. When charging NiMH batteries, you must use a linear
charger with peak detection. Do not use a timer charger. Charge battery at no higher than a
1C charge rate. To calculate your battery's 1C charge rate, divide the battery capacity (mAh)
by 1000.
2. Always charge batteries in a fire proof container. Do not charge batteries on or near wood,
cloth, carpet, in your model, or on or near any other flammable material. Keep a chemical fire
extinguisher near by in case of fire.
3. Never leave batteries unattended while charging. Always observe batteries when charging
so that you may react quickly to any problems that may occur.
4. If a battery is deformed, swollen or appears damaged, DO NOT CHARGE. Follow the disposal
instructions below to properly and safely dispose the battery.
5. Any time you have an accident with your model or if the battery swells "balloons" or if the
battery exceeds temperature guidelines, follow these safety steps:
a. Immediately remove the battery pack from your model or charger.
b. Place the battery in a non-flammable, well ventilated area.
c. Observe the battery for 30 minutes from a safe distance.
d. After 30 minutes, if the pack appears stable, is not swollen and does not show any signs of
damage, return the battery pack to normal use with caution.
6. Do not let exposed battery wires touch each other. This may cause the battery to short and
potentially cause a fire.
7. Store your batteries in a cool, dry place between 40-80 Fº / 4-26 Cº. Batteries must be stored
at 3.75-3.80 volts per cell to maintain capacity and pack life. Do not store fully charged for
longer than one week to prevent damage.
8. Do not assemble unmatched or dissimilar LiPO cells.
9. Store battery packs out of the reach of children and pets.
BATTERY DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Discharge battery pack to 2.5 Volts per cell or less.
2. Fill a bucket with enough water to submerge the battery pack completely.
3. Add salt to the water until no more salt will dissolve; the water is now saturated with salt.
4. Place the battery pack in the bucket and leave submerged in the salt water solution for 24 hours.
5. Remove the battery pack from the salt water and test the voltage.
6. If the voltage does not read 0.0 Volts, re-submerge and re-test until the voltage reads 0.0 Volts.
7. Once the battery pack has been discharged to 0.0 Volts, it is safe to dispose of in the trash.
