6. BATTERY NOTES
Batteries are part of our everyday life; however, various dangers and certain issues are related to their use. LiPo/
LiIon/LiFe/LiHV batteries, in particular, feature high energy contents (in comparison to conventional NiCd or NiMH
batteries) and therefore various regulations absolutely must be observed; otherwise, there is a risk of explosion and
fire.
It is imperative, therefore, to follow the information and safety instructions for handling batteries listed below.
Should the manufacturer of the battery provide further details, then these must also be carefully read and
observed!
a) General
• Batteries are not toys. Store batteries out of children's reach.
• Do not leave any batteries lying around; there is a risk that they will be swallowed by children or pets.
In such a case, consult a doctor immediately!
• Rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. This might cause
a fire or explosion!
• You may suffer burns if your skin comes into contact with leaking or damaged batteries. Therefore,
wear suitable protective gloves in this case.
• Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries. This might cause a fire or explosion!
Non-rechargeable batteries are intended for single use only and spent batteries must be disposed of
according to the regulations.
Only charge rechargeable batteries intended for this purpose; use an appropriate charger.
• Batteries may not get damp or wet.
• Never leave batteries charging/discharging unattended.
• When connecting the battery to your model or charger, observe the correct polarity (plus/+ and
minus/-). Reverse polarity will damage not only your model but also the battery. This might cause a fire
or explosion!
The charger provided here has a reverse polarity guard circuit. Nevertheless, a faulty polarization may
happen in certain situations and can lead to damages.
• If you are not using the charger for a longer period of time (e.g. storage), disconnect any connected
battery from the charger and unplug the charger from the voltage/power supply.
• Do not charge/discharge any batteries that are still hot (e.g. due to high discharge currents in the
model). First let the battery first cool down to room temperature before you charge or discharge it.
• Never charge/discharge damaged, leaking or deformed batteries. This can cause a fire or an explosion!
Dispose of such unusable batteries in an environmentally friendly way, and do not use them any longer.
• Never use battery packs that are composed of different cells.
• Charge the batteries approximately every 3 months, since otherwise the self-discharge can lead to a
so-called deep discharge, which renders the batteries useless.
• Disconnect the battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Never damage the outer surface of a battery. This might cause a fire or explosion!
