Packs thoroughly before use
- NiMH Packs have a nominal memory effect
- NiMH Packs can only be charged with a NiMH charger
- NiMH Packs self discharge
Indemnity Statement
JAMARA e.K. accept no responsibility for any damage caused
by its products which arises through misuse. The customer
alone bares the responsibility for the use andoperation of this
product and this includes, for example, the method of chan-
ging and application for which the packs are used. If you are
not in agreement with the above conditions you may return
this product unused to your dealer within 14 days.
NiHM cells should only be charged or stored on an inflammable
surface. JAMARA e.K. strongly recommend the use of either the
charger included with the model or one of its range set to the NiMH
program. Using chargers from other manufactures or incorrectly
invalidates the guarantee and JAMARA e.K. will acceptno respon-
sibility from any damage arising. Due to their high capacities da-
maged or incorrectly treated packs can ignite and to this end any
charging or discharging of packs must be monitored.
After a crash the packs must be thoroughly inspected for damage
and you should never attempt to charge or discharge a damaged
pack.
If a cell is damaged, it is possible that it may short-circuit and
ignite for up to 30 minutes after the impact and for this reason
packs must be placed on a fire proof surface and observed for
half an hour after any impact. Burning cells or packs must be
extinguished with sand or powder.
Safety Policy
JAMARA accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by or to
its products which is caused by failing to follows these instructions.
- The incorrect use of these cells can lead to an explosion and or
fire! Risk of injury!
- Over-charging, the use of too high currents, or deep discharging
may damage the cells
- Protect from mechanical damage (crushing, dents, bending or
piercing)
- Never attempt to open the cells, never expose them to fire and
keep them away from children
- Always treat damaged or leaking cells with the utmost caution
as they may cause injury
- Never short-circuit cells and observe the correct polarity
- Protect cells from temperatures of over 65°C, do not mount
them near to heat sources, i.e. Exhausts
- Store packs (over winter) half full. Do not store them empty or
full
- Periodically check the state of charge of packs stored for long
periods
- The contents of the cells is will cause injury to skin and eyes
- In the event of skin contact, wash the area thoroughly with
plenty of water and remove any clothing
- In the event of eye contact, wash thoroughly with plenty of
water and consult a doctor

Technical Details
Over-Charging:
If the charger fails to switch off due to a technical defect the cells
may overheat and ignite, for this reason, charging must always
be monitored
Fast Charging:
Fast charging is possible. The maximal rated current must be ad-
hered to.
Charging Temperatures:
0°C to +45°C. Charging pack outside in winter is not always pos-
sible. The cell temperature must not exceed 65°C. To monitor this
we recommend using our JAMARA Thermo Scan 300 (contact
less infer red thermometer) Part No. 17 0133.
Discharging Temperatures:
-20°C to +60°C. This make flying in winter possible, however, mi-
nus temperatures can lead to a 20% reduction in capacity and
reduced current draw.
Life Span:
Heavily dependant on use.
