7. Notes on Batteries and 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.
For LiPo/Lion rechargeable batteries in particular, various regulations must be observed under any
circumstances due to their high energy content (in comparison to conventional NiCd or NiMH rechargeable
batteries), because otherwise there is danger of explosion and fire.
Make sure to observe the following information and safety information when handling batteries or
rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed
by children or pets. In this case, see a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is a danger
of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin. Wear suitable protective
gloves when handling them.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Charge only rechargeable batteries intended for this; use suitable chargers.
Batteries (1.5 V) are meant to be used once only and must be properly disposed of when empty.
• Always observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries or connecting the flight battery (observe plus/+ and
minus/-).
Incorrect polarity will damage not only the transmitter but also the plane model and the batteries. There is a risk of
fire and explosion.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones. Always use batteries/rechargeable
batteries of the same type and manufacturer
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Therefore, only use high-quality alkaline batteries for the remote
control transmitter.
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries from the remote
control to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
Attention!
After the flight, the flight battery must be disconnected from the model.
Do not leave the rechargeable flight battery connected to the plane model if the latter is not used (e.g.
during transport or storage). Otherwise, the flight battery may be fully discharged and is thus destroyed/
unusable!
• Never charge the enclosed flight battery immediately after use. Always leave the LiPo flight battery to cool off first (at
least 5 - 10 minutes).
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the external insulation of the rechargeable battery is damaged or if
the rechargeable battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate danger of
fire and explosion!
