Rechargeable Batteries

Despite the fact that handling batteries and rechargeable batteries in daily life nowadays is a matter of
fact, there are still numerous dangers and problems involved. In particular with LiPo/LiIon rechargeable
batteries with their high energy content (in comparison with conventional NiCd or NiMH rechargeable
batteries) various regulations must be imperatively observed as otherwise there is danger of explosion
and fire.
Thus, it is imperative that you observe the following information and safety measures when handling
batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of reach of children.
• Do not leave the batteries lying around in the open; there is a risk of their being swallowed by children or domestic
animals. In such a case, immediately call a doctor!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. There is a risk of
explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns when coming into contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only recharge suitable, rechargeable batteries
and use a suitable charging device. Disposable batteries (1.5V) are meant to be used once only and must be
disposed of when empty.
• When inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries or when connecting a battery pack or a charger, observe the correct
polarity (note plus/+ and minus/-). Wrong polarity may damage the transmitter, the aircraft and the rechargeable
batteries. There is also a risk of fire and explosion.
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Do not mix full batteries/rechargeable batteries
with half-full ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Either use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the remote control
transmitter.
• If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries (or rechargeable
batteries) from the remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Note!
After the flight, the flight battery must be disconnected from the helicopter. Do not leave the flight battery
connected to the helicopter if the latter is not used (e.g. during transport or storage). Otherwise, the
flight battery can be fully discharged and thus destroyed/unusable!
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months, as otherwise there may be a total discharge due to self-
discharge, which renders the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Only charge a LiPo battery with a suitable charger. For this purpose, use the sensor cable attached to the rechargeable
battery and connect it to a balancer!
• Never charge the enclosed flight battery immediately after use. Always leave the rechargeable flight battery to cool
down until it has reached room or ambient temperature again.
