• Charge LiPo batteries with a max. charging current of 1C. This means that the
charging current may not exceed the capacity value imprinted on the battery (e.g.
battery capacity 1000 mAh, max. charging current 1000 mA = 1 A).
With LiFe batteries, you must observe the instructions of the battery manufactu-
rer.
• The discharging current must not exceed the value printed on the battery.
For example, if a value of „20C" is printed on the battery, the max. discharging
current is 20 times the battery's capacity (e.g. battery capacity 1000 mAh, max.
discharging current 20C = 20 x 1000 mA = 20 A).
Otherwise, the battery will overheat, causing deformation/bloating of the battery
or explosion and fire!
The printed value (e.g „20 C") 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 therefore should not be higher than one half of the given
value.
• No cell of a LiPo battery may be discharged below 3.0 V (LiFe = 2.0 V), as this
will destroy the battery. If the model does not provide protection against total di-
scharge or possess a visual display indicating a low battery, remember to switch
off the model in time.
