All instructions and precautions outlined in this manual should be strictly followed to
ensure safe operation of your model. Failure to comply with the warnings, instructions, and
precautions in this manual could lead to product damage and personal injury.
About Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Batteries
The included LiPo rechargeable battery must be handled with care for safety and long
battery life. LiPo batteries are more volatile than alkaline, NiCad, and NiMH batteries.
Mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging, or using the included LiPo
battery, you assume all risks associated with LiPo batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions,
return your complete, unused Traxxas QR-1 helicopter to the place of purchase.
If at any time during charging or use the battery begins to swell or becomes damaged in any way,
discontinue charging or use of the battery immediately. Continuing to charge or discharge a battery
that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery and
place it in an open, safe area away from flammable materials. Observe the battery for at least 30
minutes to be certain no additional swelling or rupture occurs. Completely discharge the battery by
submerging it in a saltwater solution (1/2 cup salt per gallon of water) for 24 hours. The battery may
then be disposed of in the trash. LiPo batteries are landfill-safe.
It is your responsibility to charge and care for the battery pack properly.
• The included LiPo battery pack must be charged ONLY with the USB charger included with the model
or a Traxxas-specified accessory charger. Failure to use the correct charger may result in a fire, personal injury,
and/or property damage. DO NOT use a charger designed for NiCad or NiMH batteries. Using any charger
other than the included charger may damage the battery.
• Charge the battery in a safe area away from flammable materials.
• Allow the battery to cool to room temperature before recharging.
• Never leave batteries unattended while charging. Monitor the charging process and react to any problems
that may occur.
• Always unplug the battery from the model when not in use and when it is being stored or transported.
• Do not use or charge battery packs that have been damaged in any way (bent, dented, swollen, torn covering,
or otherwise damaged).
• Do not allow small children to charge or handle LiPo batteries.
• Only discharge the LiPo battery by using it to power your model. Do not discharge the battery using an
accessory device.
• Store the battery and model in a dry area at room temperature. Avoid temperatures less than 40°F/4°C and
greater than 120°F/49°C. Do not store the battery or model in a car or in direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car
or otherwise exposed to temperatures greater than 120°F/49°C, the battery can be damaged or may catch fire.
