Place the charger and battery on a non-flammable, heat-resistant surface (e.g. stone tiles). Maintain
enough distance from flammable objects. Allow enough distance between the charger and the battery -
never place the battery on the charger.
As both the charger and the battery heat up during the charge/discharge procedure, it is necessary to
ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the charger or the battery!
Never leave the charging/discharging batteries unattended.
If any battery connector cables need to be cut to size (e.g. if the battery is supplied without a connector
plug), cut each cable individually to prevent a short circuit occurring. Risk of fire and explosion!
b) Additional information on lithium batteries
Modern rechargeable batteries with lithium technology do not only have a clearly higher capacity than
NiMH or NiCd rechargeable battery packs but they are also considerably lighter. This makes this type of
battery very interesting for application in model construction; so-called LiPo batteries (lithium-polymer) are
often used here.
LiPo batteries (and the LiFe and LiIon batteries that can be charged with the device) do require special
care however during charging/discharging as well as when being operated and handled. For this reason,
we would like to provide you with some information in the sections below about the dangers and how you
can avoid them, thus helping such batteries to maintain their performance for a long time to come.
See also chapter 6. a).
The exterior cover of a LiPo battery, consisting solely of a very thick film, is extremely sensitive.
Never destroy or damage the battery, never let the battery fall and do not pierce the battery with any
objects! Avoid applying any mechanical loads to the battery, never pull on the battery's connector cables!
There is a risk of fire and explosion!
These guidelines must also be observed when the battery is inserted into the model (or removed from
the model)
Ensure that the battery does not overheat during usage, recharging, discharging, transport or storage. Do
not place the battery next to sources of heat (e.g. cruise control, motor), keep the battery away from direct
sunlight. There is a risk of fire and explosion if the battery overheats!
Never allow the battery to reach temperatures higher than 60°C (see also manufacturer information if
necessary!).
