12. Safety Notes

Do not use your lithium polymer cells until you have read and fully understood all safety instructions. This lithium-polymer instruction booklet
contains important safety instructions to avoid potential hazards that could lead to injury to persons or equipment. For damages caused by
improper use, storage and / or charge of the batteries, which are not in compliance with the safety regulations, we can not assume any liability
or guarantee and do not pay any damages. The guarantee claim of an accumulator automatically ends with the manipulation by the acquirer.
These include e.g. the removal of components (cables, heat shrink tubing, PCB), the self-assembly of individual cells into one pack, the re-sol-
dering of cables and boards. It is generally recommended to have special packs made exclusively by the manufacturer, as they can be used in
a rational, high-quality manner and according to the safety conditions.
Storing:
Never throw lithium polymer into water or expose it to moisture. Also, they must not be stored near fire, hot and / or hot places, in the sun or
near combustible materials. Cells that heat to more than 60 degrees Celsius can destroy themselves or begin to burn. Therefore, always keep
lithium-polymer batteries in a fire-proof place. Keep out of the reach of children!
LiPo batteries should generally not be stored longer than one month. For a longer storage, a battery should only be charged up to approx.
50-70%.
Avoid short circuits:
The poles of the lithium polymer battery / rechargeable battery must not come into contact with metal objects accidentally or deliberately,
as this usually causes a short circuit! In the case of a short circuit, an extremely high current is generated in milliseconds, which can lead to
overheating of the cell, leakage of electrolyte and consequently explosion and flame formation. Avoid swallowing electrolyte fluid or contact
with eyes, skin or mucous membranes.
Damage to the aluminum laminate sheathing:
Lithium polymer cells must never be opened, separated, deformed, bent or brought into contact with other packs or soldered. Soldering tags
must not be bent, torn or thrown to the ground. This can cause an internal short circuit and an explosion with flame formation. Also, be aware
that the electrolyte fluid contained in an LiPo battery is harmful to health.
Charging:
Charge lithium-polymer cells only with suitable charging devices or appropriate charging programs.
The max. charge current must not be more than 1C (single capacity); For an 880 cell max. 880mA, for a 1100 cell max. 1100mA, for a 1800 cell
max. 1800mA, etc. The charging voltage must not exceed 4.2V per cell!
If the cell overheats too much (> 50 ° C) or increases the cell voltage above 4.2V, the charge is to be terminated immediately! Never use stan-
dard chargers for Ni-Cd or Ni-MH! This can also lead to the leakage of electrolyte and the risk of explosion. Li-Po's should only be charged cold
(room temperature).
Lithium-polymer cells may only be charged and stored on a fire-proof, non-flammable base or in suitable containers. Also avoid unattended
loading!
Discharge:
The specified discharging currents must be adhered to. The pulse loadings are in a millisecond range and should never be used for continuous
current applications. The cell voltage must not fall below 2.9V, otherwise the cell will be destroyed irreparably. In any case, the discharge must
be aborted before an explosion can be avoided.
Reload your LiPo as soon as you notice the first performance losses.
Usage:
Never use a LiPo battery with other batteries. An unwanted discharge can destroy the LiPo cells or the battery used.
! WARNING:
Due to the enormous energy density, lithium-polymer cells can ignite or even explode when damaged.
This can be caused by extreme overcharging, accident or mechanical damage, etc.
It is therefore extremely important to monitor the charging process. After an accident, the pack should be checked at
the very least. For example, the pack may have been damaged by an accident but will only heat up after half an hour. In
case of damage, keep the pack under the most careful observation. The use of a defective battery in an electronic device
can cause damage to it.
