VOLTCRAFT B6 Notice D'emploi page 56

• If the product is not to be used for a long period of time (e.g. storage),
disconnect any accumulator from the charger that may be attached, disconnect
the charger from the power supply.
• Do not charge any accumulator that is still hot (e.g. caused by high charge
current from the model) Allow the accumulator to cool down to room
temperature before attempting to charge it again.
• Never charge/discharge damaged, leaking or deformed batteries. This can
result in a fire or explosion!
• Never use accumulator packs that are composed of different types of cells.
• Recharge the accumulators about every 3 months, as otherwise there may
be a total discharge due to self-discharge, which makes the accumulators
useless.
• Disconnect the accumulator from the charger when the accumulator is fully
charged.
• Never damage the exterior of a accumulator. There is a risk of fire and
explosion!
• Never charge/discharge a accumulator directly in the model. Remove the
accumulator from the model first.
• Place the charger and accumulator on a non-flammable, heat-resistant
surface (e.g. stone tiles). Maintain enough distance to flammable objects.
Allow enough distance between the charger and the accumulator - never
place the accumulator on the charger.
• As both the charger and the accumulator heat up during the charge/
discharge procedure, it is necessary to ensure sufficient ventilation. Never
cover the charger or the accumulator!
• Never charge/discharge accumulators unsupervised.
• If any accumulator connector cables need to be cut to size (e.g. if the
accumulator is supplied without a connector plug), cut each cable individually
to prevent a short circuit occurring. Risk of fire and explosion!
