VOLTCRAFT Ultimate 400 W Bedienungsanleitung Seite 61

• 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
otherwise 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 or LiIon batteries, you must observe the instructions of the battery
manufacturer.
• The discharge current must not exceed the value printed on the battery.
For example, if a value of „20C" is printed on the battery, the max. discharge
current is 20 times the battery's capacity (e.g. battery capacity 1000 mAh,
max. discharge current 20C = 20 x 1000 mA = 20 A).
Otherwise, the battery will overheat, causeing deformation/bloating of hte
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.
