Battery Warnings and Guidelines

While the Celectra 4-Port 1-Cell 3.7V 0.3A DC Li-Po Charger has been specifically

designed to safely charge the E-flite and ParkZone single-cell 3.7V Lithium Polymer

Batteries such as EFLB1101S and PKZ3001, you MUST read the following safety

instructions and warnings before handling, charging or using the Li-Po battery.

Note: Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile than the alkaline,

Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries used in RC applications. All instructions and warnings
must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in fire.

By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated

with lithium batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions, return your complete

Celectra 4-Port 1-Cell 3.7V 0.3A DC Li-Po Charger (EFLC1004), in unused condition to

the place of purchase immediately.

• You must charge 1-cell 3.7V Li-Po batteries in a safe area away from

flammable materials.

• Never charge the battery unattended. When charging the battery you should always

remain in constant observation to monitor the charging process and react to

potential problems that may occur.

• After flight, the Li-Po batteries must be cooled to the ambient temperature

before charging.

• If at any time during the charge or discharge process the battery begins to balloon

or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely

disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable

materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a

battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that has

ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service

completely.
