7. Information relevant to batteries
 and accumulators
Despite the fact that handling batteries and rechargeable batteries in daily life nowadays is a matter of
fact, there are still numerous dangers and problems involved. In particular with LiPo/LiIon rechargeable
batteries with their high energy content (in comparison with conventional NiCd or NiMH rechargeable
batteries) various regulations must be imperatively observed as otherwise there is danger of explosion
and fire.
Thus, imperatively observe the following information and safety measures when handling batteries and
rechargeable batteries.
• Batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Do not let batteries/rechargeable batteries lie around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed by children
or pets. In such a case, seek instant medical attention!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. There is a risk of
explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns when coming into contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries which
are intended for this purpose; use suitable rechargeable battery chargers. Batteries (1.5V) are meant to be used
once only and must be disposed of when empty.
• When inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries or when connecting a battery pack or a charger, observe the correct
polarity (note plus/+ and minus/-). Wrong polarity may damage the transmitter, the airplane and the accumulators.
There is also a risk of fire and explosion!
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Do not mix full batteries/rechargeable batteries
with half-full ones Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Either use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the remote control
transmitter.
• If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries (or rechargeable
batteries) from the remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Attention!
After the flight, the flight accumulator must be disconnected from the helicopter. Do not leave the flight
accumulator connected to the helicopter if the latter is not used (e.g. during transport or storage).
Otherwise, the flight accumulator can be fully discharged and thus destroyed/unusable!
• Recharge the accumulators about every 3 months, as otherwise there may be a total discharge due to self-discharge,
which makes the accumulators useless.
• The supplied charger may only be used for the enclosed LiPo flight accumulator. Never try to use it for charging
different rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! The charger is not suited for charging
accumulators in the remote control transmitter!
