If there are any signs of damage or the outer casing of the rechargeable battery starts to swell or bloat, discontinue
use immediately. Do not continue to charge it. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Exercise caution when handling the damaged rechargeable battery and use suitable protective gloves. Dispose
of the rechargeable battery in an environmentally friendly manner.
Never store damaged rechargeable batteries in an apartment or a house/garage. Damaged or bloated lithium
rechargeable batteries can suddenly catch fire or explode.
A lithium rechargeable battery fire is difficult to extinguish and produces poisonous gases. There are special
commercially available extinguishing agents for lithium fires (fire extinguishers, extinguishing granules or the like).
Always use a compatible charger to charge lithium rechargeable batteries and ensure that the charging method
is correct. Do not use conventional chargers for NiCd, NiMH or lead batteries, as these may cause a fire or explo-
sion! Always select the correct charging method for your rechargeable battery.
A balancer (integrated into the included USB charger) is required for charging the two-cell LiPo drive battery.
Cell voltages may differ when charging a multi-cell lithium battery without a balancer. This results in a detrimental
deep discharge, which renders the battery unusable. On the other hand, too high a charging voltage applied to a
cell during the charging process can lead to an explosion or fire.
The included LiPo drive battery is a perfect match for the USB charger. When in doubt, do not use any other
charger.
The charge rate for lithium rechargeable batteries must not exceed 1C (or the value stated in the battery instruc-
tions). This means that the charging current must not exceed the rechargeable battery capacity (e.g. battery
capacity = 1800 mAh, max. charging current = 1800 mA = 1.8 A).
Lithium rechargeable batteries usually retain their charge for several months. However, a deep discharge of the
batteries will result in permanent damage and render them useless. For this reason, you should recharge the
battery every 3 months or so.
At the same time, lithium rechargeable batteries should not be kept fully charged for a long time when not in use,
rather at about 50% of their capacity.
Use special carry bags to carry lithium rechargeable batteries, which can mitigate the consequences of a sudden
fire or explosion.
