4. SPECIAL NOTES FOR HANDLING
• Make sure to set your esc`s cut-off voltage to the correct LiPo battery voltage, de-
pending on the battery you are using. A too low cut-off voltage will lead to deep-di-
scharging the battery, which will permanently damages the battery.
• Avoid short-circuits! Short-circuiting the battery results in very high currents, which
damage the internal structure of a LiPo-battery. This leads to a loss of power and
capacity.
• Never charge LiPo batteries without a balancer. Charging without a balancer can
damage the battery. Please note, that your limited warranty will void if you charge
without balancer.
• Be sure not to damage the outside of the LiPo-battery. If the outer skin of the cell
gets damaged, the battery can no longer be used. Therefore take special care, that
no sharp objects like knifes, tools, carbon fibre edges or similar items can damage
the hardcase and/or the cells within it.
• When securing the LiPo-battery inside your model/device, you have to take care that
the LiPo-battery does not get damaged or warped in case of a crash, letting it fall
down, hitting it, bending it or by similar actions.
• Never charge several LiPo-battery packs at once with one charger. The different
capacities and charge levels can lead to serious overcharging of the battery, even if
you are using a charger with LiPo capabilities.
• Damaged packs cannot be used any longer. If the packs show signs of damage, are
bent or similar, do not use the packs anymore.
• The chemical reaction during charging and discharging a LiPo-battery is not fully
reversible. Due to that, LiPo-batteries loose capacity during their life-span. This is
normal and neither a manufacturing nor production fault.

DISPOSAL NOTE:

Damaged packs are hazardous waste and have to be disposed of accordingly.
5. STORAGE !!!
For long time storage, we recommend to charge the battery up to 50% of the nominal
capacity. Therefore fully discharge the battery pack and then partially charge it with
a charge current of 1C for 30 minutes or charge it up to a voltage of 3.8-3.9V/cell. In
this condition, the battery can be stored at least 3 months at 25°C room temperature
without the need of recharging it. If the batteries are stored longer, be sure to make a
complete charge and discharge cycle every 3 months and partial charge it again for
storage. We also recommend this procedure before the first use in a model after the
battery has been stored for 2-3 months or longer.
ATTENTION: NEVER STORE THE BATTERY COMPLETELY EMPTY OR FULLY CHAR-
GED. Both will harm the battery and lead to swollen battery cells. A fully charged
battery will have the same negative effects as a completely discharged battery.
Even if you are using your battery regularly every week, always pay attention that the
battery is partially charged with at least 30% of the nominal capacity during storage.
A partial charge with 1C charge current for 20 minutes is sufficient in this case, if the
battery was competely empty before.
For storing, we recommned to use our LRP LiPo Safe Box (No. 65848).
If you pay attention to the above mentioned notes, you can enjoy your ANTIX Hardcase
LiPo batteries for a very long time.
6. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT LIPO BATTERIES
• LiPo batteries shall only be charged at a temperature between 0-45°C. If this will not
be observed, the cycle life of the battery will be reduced drastically.
• The single cell open circuit voltage of a fully charged LiPo battery is 4.2V. The single
cell open circuit voltage of a 50% partial charged LiPo battery is approx. 3.85V. The
single cell open circuit voltage of an empty LiPo battery is approx. 3.3V.
• A voltage below 3.3V per cell without load is in either case harmful for a LiPo battery.
Therefore always avoid voltages below 3.3V per cell.
• It might not be visible from the outside when a LiPo battery gets overcharged. The
only way to find this out is to measure the voltage of the LiPo battery. The battery
does not heat up nor does it swell when it gets overcharged. Therefore always check
the battery voltage during charging. If it exceeds the max. charging voltage stop the
charging process immediately and check all settings.
• We recommend to stop discharging a Lipo battery if the remaining capacity reaches
30% of the nominal capacity. With this, LiPo batteries will have the max. possible
cycle life. Real-Life application showed, that the cycle life of LiPo batteries is reduced
if the battery always gets completely discharged. This phenomenon can be seen
with all types of LiPo batteries.

Battery disposal notes: Batteries and accumulators used in this product are to be disposed of separately from your household waste. Batteries and accumu-
lators must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. Users of batteries and accumulators must use the available collection framework for the return,
recycling and treatment of batteries and accumulators. Customer participation in the collection and recycling of batteries and accumulators is important to
minimise any potential effects of batteries and accumulators on the environment and human health due to substances used in batteries and accumulators.
Repair procedures / limited warranty
Products of Lautenbach Racing Products GmbH (hereinafter referred to as „LRP")
are manufactured according to the strictest quality criteria. We grant the legal
guarantee on production and material defects, which were present at the time
of the delivery of the product. We are not liable for typical signs of wear and tear
(e.g. loss of capacity). This warranty does not apply to defects resulting from im-
proper use, lack of maintenance, external intervention or mechanical damage.
This applies in particular to rechargeable batteries:
• with traces of use or signs of wear.
• connector system has been replaced.
• with removed or damaged original housing.
Damage or loss of performance due to mishandling and/or overload are not product
defects.
If you are of the opinion that this product has a defect, please first check all other com-
ponents in your model and, if necessary, refer to the product's troubleshooting guide
to rule out other sources of interference and operating errors. If the product does not
show any malfunction when checked by our service department or if there is no legiti-
mate warranty or guarantee claim, we will have to charge you for the processing costs
incurred. A warranty or guarantee claim can only be accepted if a copy of the proof of
purchase (date of purchase verified by electronic sales receipt indicating quantity, part
number and/or product name, sales amount and sales date) is enclosed. For a quick
handling of your service case, please enclose a detailed description of the fault and
your address and contact data with the return.
If a returned defective product is no longer produced by LRP and we are unable to
repair it, you will receive a product of at least the same value from one of the successor
series instead in the event of a warranty claim.
LRP's weight, size or other values are provided for guidance only. LRP assumes no for-
mal obligation for such specific information as technical changes made in the interest
of the product may result in different values.
