7. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

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 NiCd or 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. In this case, see a doctor immediately!
• To charge the flight battery, remove it from the model and place it on a fire-proof surface. Keep a distance to flammable
objects.
• As 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.
• Never charge rechargeable batteries unattended.
• Do not expose the charger or flight battery to high/low temperatures or to direct solar radiation.
• Disconnect the flight battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Chargers may only be operated in dry rooms. Chargers and flight batteries must not get damp or wet.
• 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 at contact; therefore, use
suitable protective gloves.
Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or surfaces that
come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suitable
location.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries intended
for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers.
• Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries into the transmitter or connecting the flight battery to the speed
controller (positive/+ and negative/-).
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries (or rechargeable
batteries) from the remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months. Otherwise, deep discharge may result, rendering the
rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries in the transmitter. Never mix fully charged batteries/
rechargeable batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same
type and manufacturer. Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!
• When dealing with LiPo rechargeable batteries, observe the specific safety information of the manufacturer!
