VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE ECO 6X 1S Notice D'emploi page 49

• Always use a compatible charger to charge lithium
batteries and ensure that the charging specifica-
tions are correct. Do not use NiCd, NiMH or lead-
acid battery chargers, as these may cause a fire or
explosion!
Always select the correct charging specifications for
your battery.
• The charging current for LiPo batteries must not
exceed 1C (or the value stated in the battery instruc-
tions). This means that the charging current must
not exceed the capacity printed on the battery (e.g.
battery capacity = 500 mAh, max. charging current
= 500 mA = 0.5 A).
• The discharging current must not exceed the value
stated on the battery.
• For example, if "10C" is printed on the LiPo battery,
the maximum discharging current is 10 times the
battery's capacity (e.g. battery capacity = 500 mAh,
max. discharging current = 10C = 10 x 500 mA =
5 A).
Exceeding the maximum current may cause the
battery to overheat or become deformed, which can
lead to a fire or explosion!
The printed value (e.g "10C") does not generally
refer to the constant current, but to the maximum
current that the battery is capable of producing in
the short-term. The continuous current should not be
higher than one half of the stated value.
