7. Information on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

Although the use of batteries and rechargeable batteries is part of daily life nowadays, there are
numerous dangers and problems involved. Especially LiPo batteries with their high energy content
(in comparison to conventional NiMH batteries), require that various regulations must be observed;
otherwise they present an explosion and fire hazard.
Therefore, observe always the information and safety instructions listed below when handling bat-
teries and rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave the batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly; there is a risk of them being swal-
lowed by children or pets. In such a case, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. There is
a risk of explosion!
• If not used for a longer time (e.g. during storage), remove the batteries/rechargeable batteries inserted in
the transmitter, to avoid damages from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries. Disconnect completely
the drive battery from the speed controller and remove it from the vehicle.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause acid burns when coming in contact with
skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• The fluids leaking out of the batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically very aggressive. Objects
or surfaces that come into contact may get damaged massively at times. Therefore, keep the batteries/
rechargeable batteries at a suitable location.
• Conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries may not be recharged. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Only charge the batteries intended for this purpose; to do this, use the appropriate battery chargers.
• When inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries or when connecting a drive battery, observe the
correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-).
• Never mix batteries with rechargeable batteries! Use, for example, for the transmitter, either batteries or
rechargeable batteries.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries of the transmitter. Do not mix full and
half-full batteries/rechargeable batteries. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same
type and from the same manufacturer.
• Depending on the battery technology (NiMH, LiPo....), an appropriate battery charger is required. Never
charge, for example, LiPo batteries, with a NiMH battery charger! There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• For charging multi-cellular LiPo batteries, a suitable balancer is required in good LiPo chargers this is
usually already built-in). A balancer (often referred to as equalizer) prevents overcharging of an individual
LiPo cell by checking the individual cell voltages.
When overcharging a LiPo cell (maximum cell voltage 4.24 V) a bloating of the LiPo battery or even a
fire or an explosion can occur!
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the external insulation of the battery or the battery's
housing is damaged or the battery is deformed or bloated, do not recharged those under any circum-
stances. In this case, there is a heightened risk of fire and explosion!
• Do not charge the batterys immediately after use. Let the batteries always cool off (at least 5 - 10
minutes).
