16. Safety Notes relating to Lithium-Polymer
batteries:
These operating instructions can only provide a
global overview of the methods of charging and
handling rechargeable LiPo batteries, and should
not be considered as a substitute for the instructi-
ons provided by the battery manufacturer.
Please be sure to read the instructions and infor-
mation supplied by the battery manufacturer.
• Do not submerge the battery in water or any
other liquid.
• Do not heat or incinerate the battery, or place
it in a microwave oven.
• Do not short-circuit the pack, or charge it with
reversed polarity.
• Do not subject the battery to physical pres-
sure; do not deform or throw it.
• Do not solder directly to the battery.
• Do not modify or open the battery.
• Do not charge the battery to a voltage higher
than 4.2 Volts per cell (LiPo) or 3.7 Volts per
cell (LiFe), or discharge it to a voltage lower
than 2.75 Volts per cell (LiPo) or 2.35 Volts
(LiFe).
• LiPo batteries may only be charged using a
charger designed expressly for this purpose.
Never connect the battery directly to a mains
PSU.
• Never charge or discharge the battery in direct
sunshine, or close to a heater or fire.
• Do not use the battery in any location which is
subject to severe static discharges.
• Any of these errors may cause the battery to
be damaged, explode or catch fire.
• Keep the battery well out of the reach of chil-
dren.
If electrolyte should escape, keep it well away
from fire; the substance is highly inflammable
and may burst into flames.
• Avoid the fluid electrolyte contacting your
eyes. If this should occur, rinse the affected
part immediately with plenty of clean water
before seeking medical attention.
• If the fluid electrolyte should contact your clo-
thes or any other object, immediately wash it
off using plenty of water.
17. Proper disposal of batteries
On no account dispose of exhausted batteries
in the domestic waste. To protect the environ-
ment, take defective and exhausted packs to
your local battery collection point after ensuring
Operating Instructions
Top Equalizer 6S 300mA
that they are completely discharged. Collection
points include all retail outlets where dry and
rechargeable batteries are sold, and also local
authority toxic waste collection centres.
Exhausted batteries can be recycled, and the
materials re-introduced into the production
cycle.
Please help to protect the environment.
