Warning Lithium Polymer batteries are volatile. Failure
to read and follow all safety instructions may result in fire, personal injury
or property damage if charged/discharged or used improperly.
Before using lithium polymer batteries, you must understand that misuse of these
batteries may cause a fire that will not respond to a standard fire
extinguisher. Lithium polymer batteries must be charged in a fireproof container
away from any combustible materials.
1. Do not discharge below 3.0 volts per cell under load.
2. Do not allow the battery temperature to exceed 160°F (71°C).
3. Store in a dry location between 20°F (-7°C) and 104°F (40°C).
4. If possible, it is recommended that you store them between 75°F (24°C) and
95°F (35°C).
5. Never attempt to charge a lithium polymer battery with a charger that is not
specifically designed to charge lithium polymer batteries. We recommend charging
ONLY with a charger that uses a balancer!!!
6. Never charge lithium polymer batteries unattended.
7. Store,transport & charge lithium polymer batteries in a fireproof container.
8. Do not charge polymer packs at a rate greater than 1C.
9. Do not charge a pack if the average cell voltage is less than 3.3 volts.
10. Charge packs individually. Do not charge multiple packs at the same time
unless your charger is specifically designed for this.
11. Never charge dissimilar packs in series or parallel at the same time on the
same charger.
12. Do not discharge at a greater rate than the manufacturer recommends.
13. An approved amperage meter (ammeter) should be used in determining load.
14. If any cell with the pack puffs or swells, discontinue use immediately.
15. Do not attempt to charge a cell or pack that has been damaged.
16. Do not attempt to disassemble packs or re-solder connections.
17. Do not short circuit the battery.
18. Do not puncture the battery.
19. Provide plenty of cooling for the battery.
20. Shock absorbing material should surround the battery to protect it from hard
landings or crashes.
21. Always use common sense in using and handling lithium polymer batteries.
22. If you are using a "smart charger" that automatically detects the cell-count
of a pack, always check to make sure it has chosen the correct cell-count. If
the charger has chosen the incorrect cell-count, discontinue the charge
immediately.
23. Always check voltage before charging.
24. A balance charger or balancer is always recommended.
25. Batteries should be 75-80% of charge when storing them.
26. If your polymer battery is subject to a crash or are damaged in any way,
isolate in an area free of flammable materials and observe for 30 minutes before
re-use or disposal.
27. Never get Lipo Packs wet.
28. Contact a local waste disposal company for info on proper disposal.
29. By proceeding with the use of lithium polymer batteries, you agree to accept
the responsibility for the safe use and storage of these products and follow all
the necessary precautions set forth in these guidelines. In addition to this
list, information abounds on the internet about the inherent risks associated
with lithium batteries, and we recommend you research the subject further to
educate and protect yourself!
