VOLTCRAFT B5 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 42

This charger has a mechanism that helps to protect against having the poles
incorrectly connected. Nonetheless, it is possible that incorrectly connected
the battery 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 battery from the charger that may be attached, disconnect
the charger from the power supply.
• Do not charge any battery that is still hot (e.g. caused by high charge current
from the model) Allow the battery to cool down to room temperature before
attempting to charge it again.
• Never charge damaged, leaking or deformed batteries. This can result in a
fire or explosion!
• Never use battery packs that are composed of different types of cells.
• Recharge batteries about every 3 months, as they may become completely
discharged as a result of self-discharge, making the battery unusable.
• Disconnect the battery from the charger when the battery is fully charged.
• Never damage the exterior of a battery. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Never charge a battery directly in the model. Remove the battery to be
charged from the model first.
• Place the charger and battery 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 battery - never place the
battery on the charger.
• As both the charger and the battery heat up during the charging procedure,
it is necessary to ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the charger or the
battery!
• Never leave charging batteries unattended.
• If any battery connector cables need to be cut to size (e.g. if the battery is
supplied without a connector plug), cut each cable individually to prevent a
short circuit occurring. Risk of fire and explosion!
