9 Battery safety information

Although batteries and rechargeable batteries are very useful in our everyday life, nevertheless
they present numerous safety hazards. Compared with conventional NiMH rechargeable batteries,
LiPo rechargeable batteries have a high energy content. For this reason, it is essential to comply
with safety regulations to prevent the risk of a fire or explosion.
Always observe the following safety information when handling batteries and rechargeable batter-
ies.
9.1

General information

Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of reach of children. (Rechargeable) batteries must be kept out of reach
of children.
Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children and
pets. Seek immediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed!
Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into the fire. This may
cause an explosion!
When handling leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries, always use suitable protective gloves to
avoid burning your skin.
Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are highly aggressive chemicals. Objects or surfaces com-
ing into contact with these liquids may be severely damaged. Therefore, keep batteries/rechargeable batteries in
a suitable location.
Do not attempt to recharge disposable, non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion! Non-
rechargeable batteries are only designed to be used once and must be disposed of properly when they are empty.
Only recharge compatible rechargeable batteries and ensure that you use a suitable battery charger.
If you do not plan to use the model for an extended period (e.g. during storage), remove the batteries/recharge-
able batteries from the transmitter to prevent them from leaking and causing damage. First completely disconnect
and then remove the drive batteries from the model. Store batteries/rechargeable batteries in a dry, clean, cool
place out of the reach of children.
Install a smoke detector in the room. Batteries present a fire hazard and may generate toxic fumes. This applies in
particular to model batteries, which are subjected to high charging/discharge currents and vibrations.
Always replace the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter. Do not mix full batteries/
rechargeable batteries with half-full ones. Always use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type and from
the same manufacturer. Never mix batteries with rechargeable batteries!
Given that rechargeable batteries have a lower output voltage, we recommend using only non-rechargeable
batteries in the transmitter for reasons of service life and operational safety. Using rechargeable batteries would
cause the transmitter to show an insufficient operating voltage after a relatively short time.
Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries into the transmitter or connecting
drive batteries to the model (observe plus/+ and minus/-). Incorrect polarity can cause fire and explosion!
Do not expose the drive batteries you are using to very high or low temperatures or direct sunlight.
The drive batteries must be kept dry at all times. Lithium rechargeable batteries (e.g. LiPo batteries) contain
chemicals that are very sensitive to moisture!
Never damage the casing of a rechargeable battery.
Disconnect the drive batteries from the model before connecting them to the charger. Never leave the drive battery
connected to a speed controller when it is charging. This may damage the charger, speed controller or the battery!
Always remove the drive rechargeable batteries from the model before charging it.
