VOLTCRAFT VC-1506 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 65

• Leaking or damaged accumulators might cause acid burns when getting into contact with skin.
Therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Non-
rechargeable batteries are meant to be used once only and must be disposed of when empty.
Only charge batteries that are intended to be charged.
• Batteries must not get damp or wet.
• Please observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) on your model or charger when connecting the
rechargeable accumulator. Should you connect the accumulator incorrectly, not only will the model
be damaged but also the accumulator. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
This charger has a mechanism that helps to protect against having the poles incorrectly connected.
Nonetheless, it is possible that incorrectly connected the accumulator may lead to damage in certain
situations.
• If the product is not to be used for a long period of time (e.g. storage), disconnect any accumulator
from the charger that may be attached, disconnect the charger from the power supply.
• Do not charge any accumulator that is still hot (e.g. caused by high charge current from the model)
Allow the accumulator to cool down to room temperature before attempting to charge it again.
• Never charge/discharge damaged, leaking or deformed batteries. This can result in a fire or explo-
sion!
• Never use accumulator packs that are composed of different types of cells.
• Recharge the Li-accumulators about every 3 months, as otherwise there may be a total discharge
due to self-discharge, which makes the accumulators useless.
• Disconnect the accumulator from the charger when the accumulator is fully charged.
• Never damage the exterior of a accumulator. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Never charge/discharge a accumulator directly in the model. Remove the accumulator from the
model first.
• Place the charger and accumulator on a non-flammable, heat-resistant surface (e.g. stone tiles).
Maintain enough distance to flammable objects. Allow enough distance between the charger and the
accumulator - never place the accumulator on the charger.
• As both the charger and the accumulator heat up during the charge/ discharge procedure, it is
necessary to ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the charger or the accumulator!
• Never charge/discharge accumulators unsupervised.
