Usage Guidelines, Warnings and Safety Precautions
• LiPo batteries may explode if damaged or if disposed
of improperly.
• Always inspect batteries before charging.
• Never charge or use a LiPo battery or pack that shows
any damage or disfigurement of any kind. Swelling is a
sign of internal damage. Any breach of protective cover,
wiring or plugs is also reason to discontinue use (see
Disposal Instructions).
• Use specific Lithium Polymer charger only. Do not use a Ni-Cd
or Ni-MH charger – failure to do so may cause a fire, which
may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
• Never charge around or in the area of any flammable or
combustible materials.
• Always charge LiPo batteries in or on fire-resistant materials
or containers.
• Never leave battery and charger unattended while in use.
Improper charging or discharging of LiPo batteries could result
in fire.
• Constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack while
charging. If the battery becomes hot to the touch, discontinue
charging immediately. Disconnect the battery from the charger
and observe it in a safe place for at least 15 minutes.
• If at any time you see a battery starting to balloon or swell up,
discontinue charging or using immediately.
