7. Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes

Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today,
there are many dangers and problems. In particular in LiPo/LiIon batteries with high energy content
(as compared to conventional NiMH batteries), various provisions must be complied with to avoid
danger of explosion and fire.
Therefore, always observe the following information and safety notes in handling of batteries and
rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being
swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Remove the flight battery from the model before charging and put it on fire-proof underground. Keep a
distance to flammable objects.
• Never charge the flight battery right after use. Always leave the flight battery to cool off first (at least
5 - 10 minutes).
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the outer isolation of the flight battery is damaged or the
flight battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate danger of
fire and explosion!
• Never damage the outer shell of the flight battery, do not cut the foil cover, do not puncture the flight
battery with pointed objects. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• A s the charger as well as the flight battery heat up during the charging process, it is necessary to ensure
sufficient ventilation. Never cover the charger and flight battery! Of course, this also applies for all other
chargers and rechargeable batteries.
• Chargers may only be operated in dry rooms. Chargers and flight batteries must not get damp or wet.
• N ever leave batteries unattended while charging them.
• D o not expose the charger or flight battery to high/low temperatures or to direct solar radiation.
• D isconnect the flight battery from the charger when it is charged completely.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There
is a danger of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin on contact;
therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or sur-
faces that come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep batteries/recharge-
able batteries in a suitable location.
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Charge only
rechargeable batteries intended for this; use suitable chargers.
Batteries (1.5 V) are intended for one-time use only and must be disposed of properly when discharged.
