VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 300 TOUCH Handbuch Seite 67

• When charging a lithium battery with more than one cell, always use a so-called
"balancer" (one is already integrated into the supplied charger).
• Charge LiPo batteries with a max. charging current of 1C (if not indicated other-
wise 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 and LiIon 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 current 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.
• No cell of a LiPo battery may be discharged below 3.0 V (LiFe = 2.0 V, LiIon = 2.5 V),
as this will destroy the 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.
