By purchasing this product the buyer/user agrees that they have read and understood the safety precautions printed in this document and bears full responsibility of these risks, and does not hold Offshore Electrics Inc, its distributors, or its retailers responsible for any accidents, injury to persons, or property damage that may occur.

General Safety Guidelines for Lithium Polymer Packs

NEVER use a NiCd/NiMH charger to charge LiPo batteries. Use a charger designed for Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries only.
ALWAYS inspect the battery to ensure there are no signs of damage, deformity, or swelling before charging. If there are, do not continue charging the battery, and follow the proper procedures to dispose of the battery.
ALWAYS charge batteries in a fireproof container and away from combustible material. Do not charge on surfaces that can catch fire — this includes wood, cloth, carpet, or the application's device.
NEVER charge batteries unattended. Always remain in constant observation of the charging process & react to potential problems that may occur.
If at any time you witness a battery starting to balloon or swell, do the following:
1. Stop the charging process and disconnect the battery immediately. Continuing to charge a battery that has begun to swell will result in fire. Likewise, never use a battery if you find it swollen upon purchase.
2. Follow proper battery disposal procedure.
NEVER allow the battery's positive and negative leads to touch. This can cause the battery to short circuit and lead to fire!
In the event of a crash of the R/C model, or if the battery exceeds a high temperature:
1. Disconnect the battery immediately from the device.
2. Place it in an open, non-flammable area.
3. Observe it for approximately 30 minutes from a safe distance.
4. If the battery appears to be stable (no signs of damage or swelling), proceed to put it back into your device and continue using with caution.
