Usage Guidelines, Warnings and Safety Precautions.
•LiPo batteries may explode if damaged or disposed of improperly.
•Always inspect batteries before charging.
•Never charge or use a LiPo battery 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 a reason to discontinue use (see Disposal
Instructions).
•Use a specific Lithium Polymer charger only. Do not use a NiCd or NiMH
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 1 minute.
•If at any time you see a battery starting to balloon or swell, discontinue
charging or using immediately.
•Lithium batteries can still ignite after at least 45 minutes due to a delayed
chemical reaction. If the battery is damaged or overheats, observe the battery
in a safe area outside of any building or vehicle and away from combustible
material.
•Do not allow children to charge LiPo battery packs.
•Do not allow children to use LiPo batteries without direct adult supervision.
•Shorting the wire leads can cause fire. If you accidentally short the wires, the
battery must be placed in a safe area for observation for at least 15 minutes.
•Never store or charge a battery pack where the temperature will go below
32 degrees Fahrenheit or above 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Extreme
temperatures will damage the battery pack and may cause fire. Battery
performance may be diminished by less extreme temperatures.
•Any of the following may cause the battery to be damaged resulting in
battery swelling, leaking or fire:
- Bending, folding or dropping of the battery
- Damaging the edge seal of the battery
- Taking the battery apart
- Mixing cells of different chemistry, or types, or sizes
- Mixing cells of different ages
