Battery Warnings and Guidelines
The 1S 3.7V DC Lithium Polymer Battery Charger
(PKZ3240) included with the Sukhoi SU-26 XP has been
specifically designed to safely charge the included 150mAh
3.7V 14C Li-Po battery. You may also use the E-flite ®
Celectra ™ 4-Port Charger (EFLC1004). You must read the
following safety instructions and warnings before handling,
charging or using the Li-Po battery.
CAUTION: Li-Po 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 a fire, personal injury, and/or property
damage.
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
Sukhoi SU-26 XP model in new, unused condition to the place of
purchase immediately.
You must charge the included Li-Po battery 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 battery must be cooled to ambient temperature
•
before charging.
DO NOT USE A Ni-Cd OR Ni-MH CHARGER. Failure to
•
charge the battery with a compatible charger may
cause fire resulting in personal injury and/or property
damage.
If at any time during the charge 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 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 use immediately.
Store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for
•
best results.
When transporting or temporarily storing the battery the
•
temperature range should be from 40–120º F. Do not store
battery or model in a car or direct sunlight whenever possible.
If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even
catch fire.
Do not over-discharge the Li-Po flight battery. Discharging the
•
battery too low can cause damage to the battery resulting in
reduced power, duration or failure of the battery. (See below
for details).
Li-Po cells should not be discharged to below 3V each underload.
In the case of the Li-Po battery used for the Sukhoi SU-26
XP
, you
will not want to allow the battery to fall below 3V during flight.
The Sukhoi SU-26
XP receiver unit features a soft low voltage cutoff
(LVC) that occurs when the battery reaches 3V under load. When
the soft cutoff occurs, the ESCs of the receiver unit reduce power
to the motor (regardless of the power level set with the throttle
