VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 300 TOUCH Handbuch Seite 65

• As both the charger and the battery heat up during the charge/discharge proce-
dure, it is necessary to ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the charger or
the battery!
• Never leave the charging/discharging batteries unattended.
• Never recharge a battery directly in the model. Always remove the rechargeable
battery from the model for recharging.
• Always observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when connecting the
rechargeable battery to your model or charger. Connecting the battery incorrectly
will not only damage the model but also the rechargeable battery. There is a risk
of fire and explosion!
This charger has a mechanism that protects against connecting the poles incor-
rectly. Nonetheless, it is possible that an incorrectly connected battery may lead
to damage in certain situations.
• If the product is not to be used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage),
disconnect any connected rechargeable battery from the charger and disconnect
the charger from the voltage/current supply.
The charger has no mains switch. If you operate the charger via the mains cable,
pull the mains plug from the socket when you no longer need the charger.
• Do not charge/discharge any battery that is still hot (e.g. caused by high dis-
charging current from the model). Allow the rechargeable battery to cool down to
room temperature before attempting to charge or discharge it.
• Never damage the exterior cover of a battery. There is a risk of fire and explo-
sion!
• Never charge/discharge damaged, leaking or deformed batteries. This can result
in a fire or explosion! Dispose of any unusable rechargeable batteries in an
environmentally compatible fashion. Do not continue to use them.
• Remove the rechargeable battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months. Otherwise, so-called
deep discharge may result, rendering the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Never use rechargeable battery packs made up of different cells.
