VOLTCRAFT B6 Dual Power Bedienungsanleitung Seite 91

• When setting up and using the product, make sure that the cable is not folded
or squeezed.
• Never cover the charger and the accumulator! By preventing heat from
escaping, not only will the accumulator be destroyed, there is also a risk of
fire and explosion!
• The feet of the device and the temperature of the casing may produce
pressure marks and discolouration on sensitive surfaces. The same applies
to the accumulator.
As already described in the safety warnings, a suitable non-flammable and
heatproof base should be used for the charger and the accumulator to be
charged. Do not place the charger or accumulator on expensive furniture!
• Maintain enough distance to flammable objects or surfaces.
• Do not leave the charger unattended while it is in operation.
Although there are a wide range of safety mechanisms on the charger, it is
never possible to exclude the possibility of the accumulator or charger
becoming overheated or damage to the accumulator. The use of charging
cables that are too thin or problems with the contacts may be dangerous!
• Check the temperature of the accumulator from time to time during the
charging process.
NiMH and NiCd batteries become very hot when using high charge currents,
with temperatures of 50°C or above possible. For this reason, only touch the
accumulator with care. If the accumulator overheats, it may be damaged. In
this case, reduce the charge current.
LiPo batteries should generally not get warmer than is safe to touch during
the charging process (charge current max. 1C) A large temperature increase
indicates a defective accumulator or a defective cell in the accumulator pack.
• For safety reasons, lithium accumulators (LiPo, LiIon, LiFe) with more than
one cell must always be charged using a charge process with balancer.
If the balancer plug does not fit in the appropriate charger socket, the correct
adapter must be used.
