VOLTCRAFT B6 Ultimate Notice D'emploi page 63

• 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. charge current of 1C (if not indicated
otherwise by the battery manufacturer!). This means that the charge current
may not exceed the capacity value imprinted on the battery (e.g. battery
capacity 1000mAh, max. charge current 1000mA = 1A).
With LiFe or LiIon batteries, you must observe the instructions of the battery
manufacturer.
• The discharge current must not exceed the value displayed 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 1000mAh,
max. discharge current 20C = 20x 1000mA = 20A).
If these guidelines are not adhered to, the battery will overheat, which will
lead to the battery becoming deformed/swollen or result in an 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 should not be higher than one half of
the given value.
• No cell of a LiPo battery may be discharged below 3.0V (LiFe = 2.0V, LiIon =
2.5V), 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.
