VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 80GPS Bedienungsanleitung Seite 62

• Charge LiPo batteries with a max. charging current of 1C (if not indicated otherwise by the battery
manufacturer!). This means that the charging current may not exceed the capacity value imprinted on
the battery (e.g. battery capacity 1000 mAh, max. charging current 1000 mA = 1 A).
With LiFe, LiIon and LiHv batteries, you must observe the instructions of the battery manufacturer.
• The discharging current must not exceed the value printed on the battery.
For example, if a value of "20C" is printed on a LiPo battery, the max. discharging current is 20 times
the battery's capacity (e.g. battery capacity 1000 mAh, max. discharging current 20C = 20 x 1000 mA =
20 A).
Otherwise, the battery will overheat, causing deformation/bloating of the battery or explosion and fire!
The printed value (e.g "20C") does not generally refer to the constant current, but to the maximum cur-
rent that the battery is capable of producing in the short-term. The constant current therefore should not
be higher than one half of the given value.
• Observe that the individual cells of a lithium rechargeable battery must not be deep-discharged. A deep
discharge of a lithium rechargeable battery will lead to permanent damage/destruction of the recharge-
able battery.
If the model does not provide protection against total discharge or possess a visual display indicating a
low battery, remember to switch off the model in time.
