7. Battery safety information

Batteries present numerous safety hazards. Compared with conventional NiMH rechargeable bat-
teries, LiPo/Li-Ion rechargeable batteries have a high energy content. For this reason, it is essential
to comply with safety regulations to prevent the risk of a fire or explosion.
Always observe the following safety information when handling batteries.
a) General information
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children and pets. Seek im-
mediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed.
• Batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire, as this may cause an explosion.
• When handling leaking or damaged batteries, always use suitable protective gloves to avoid burning
your skin.
• Battery liquids are highly corrosive and may cause significant damage to objects or surfaces. Always
store batteries in a suitable location that is not prone to damage.
• Do not attempt to recharge disposable, non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion!
Non-rechargeable batteries are only designed to be used once and must be disposed of properly when
they are empty. Only recharge compatible rechargeable batteries using a suitable charger.
• If you do not plan to the use the model boat for an extended period, remove the batteries from the
remote control to prevent them from leaking and causing damage. Disconnect the battery from the boat
and remove it from the model. Keep the remote control batteries and drive battery in a cool, dry place
out of the reach of children.
Install a smoke detector in the room. Batteries present a fire hazard and may generate toxic fumes.
This applies in particular to batteries for model toys, which are subjected to high charging/discharge
currents and vibrations.
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries in the remote control. Do not mix full batteries with half-full
ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer. Never mix
disposable batteries with rechargeable batteries.
• When inserting batteries into the remote control or connecting the battery to the boat, pay attention
to the polarity markings (plus/+ and minus/-) to ensure that the batteries are connected in the correct
polarity. Connecting the batteries in the wrong polarity may damage the charger and/or batteries and
cause a fire or explosion!
• Do not expose the charger or drive battery to extremely high/low temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Batteries must not become damp or wet. The same applies to the charger. The charger must only be
used in dry, enclosed indoor areas. Moisture on the charger may cause a fatal electric shock or cause
the battery to catch fire or explode!
Lithium rechargeable batteries (e.g. LiPo/Li-Ion batteries) contain chemicals that are very sensitive to
moisture.
