FIRE HAZARD!
Your model is optimized for use with LiPo batteries. Charging
and discharging batteries has the potential for fire, explosion,
serious injury, and property damage if not performed per the
instructions. Before use, read and follow all manufacturer's
instructions, warnings, and precautions. In addition, Lithium
Polymer (LiPo) batteries pose a SEVERE risk of fire if not
properly handled per the instructions and require special care
and handling procedures for long life and safe operation.
LiPo batteries are intended only for advanced users that
are educated on the risks associated with LiPo battery use.
Traxxas does not recommend that anyone under the age of
18 use or handle LiPo battery packs without the supervision
of a knowledgeable and responsible adult. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.
Important Warnings for users of Lithium Polymer (LiPo)
batteries:
• Your model is optimized for use with LiPo batteries. LiPo
batteries have a minimum safe discharge voltage threshold
that should not be exceeded. The electronic speed control is
equipped with built-in Low-Voltage Detection that alerts the
driver when LiPo batteries have reached their minimum voltage
(discharge) threshold. It is the driver's responsibility to stop
immediately to prevent the battery pack from being discharged
below its safe minimum threshold.
• Low-Voltage Detection is just one part of a comprehensive
plan for safe LiPo battery use. It is critical to follow all
instructions for safe and proper charging, use, and storage
of LiPo batteries. Make sure you understand how to use your
LiPo batteries. If you have questions about LiPo battery usage,
please consult with your local hobby dealer or contact the
battery manufacturer. As a reminder, all batteries should be
recycled at the end of their useful life.
• ONLY use a Traxxas iD charger to charge Traxxas iD batteries.
ONLY use a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) balance charger with a balance
adapter port to charge LiPo batteries. Never use NiMH or NiCad-
type chargers or charge modes to charge LiPo batteries. DO NOT
charge LiPo batteries with a NiMH-only charger. The use of a NiMH
or NiCad charger or charge mode will damage LiPo batteries and
may cause fire, personal injury, and/or property damage.
• NEVER charge LiPo battery packs in series or parallel. Charging
packs in series or parallel may result in improper charger cell
recognition and an improper charging rate that may lead to
overcharging, cell imbalance, cell damage, and fire.
WARNING! CAUTION! DANGER!
• ALWAYS inspect your LiPo batteries carefully before charging.
Look for any loose leads or connectors, damaged wire
insulation, damaged cell packaging, impact damage, fluid
leaks, swelling (a sign of internal damage), cell deformity,
missing labels, or any other damage or irregularity. If any
of these conditions are observed, do not charge or use the
battery pack. Follow the disposal instructions included with
your battery to properly and safely dispose of the battery.
•
DO NOT store or charge LiPo batteries with or around other
batteries or battery packs of any type, including other LiPos.
• Store and transport your battery pack(s) in a cool dry place.
DO NOT store in direct sunlight. DO NOT allow the storage
temperature to exceed 140°F or 60°C, such as in the trunk of
a car, or the cells may be damaged and create a fire risk.
• DO NOT disassemble LiPo batteries or cells.
• DO NOT attempt to build your own LiPo battery pack from
loose cells.
Charging and handling precautions for all battery types:
• BEFORE you charge, ALWAYS confirm that the charger settings
exactly match the type (chemistry), specification, and
configuration of the battery to be charged. DO NOT exceed
the maximum manufacturer recommended charge rate.
• DO NOT attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries
(explosion hazard), batteries that have an internal charge circuit
or a protection circuit, batteries that have been altered from
original manufacturer configuration, or batteries that have
missing or unreadable labels, preventing you from properly
identifying the battery type and specifications. ALWAYS use a
Traxxas iD charger to charge Traxxas iD batteries. DO NOT use
a non-Traxxas charger to charge Traxxas iD batteries. It is not
recommended, but if you choose to use a non-Traxxas charger
or battery, read and follow all of the manufacturer's warnings
and instructions.
• DO NOT let any exposed battery contacts or wires touch each
other. This will cause the battery to short circuit and create the
risk of fire.
• While charging or discharging, ALWAYS place the battery
(all types of batteries) in a fire retardant/fire proof container
and on a non-flammable surface such as concrete.
• DO NOT charge batteries inside of an automobile.
DO NOT charge batteries while driving in an
automobile.
• NEVER charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet, or on any other
flammable material.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• ALWAYS charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• REMOVE flammable items and combustible materials
from the charging area.
• DO NOT leave the charger and battery unattended while
charging, discharging, or anytime the charger is ON with a
battery connected. If there are any signs of a malfunction or in
the event of an emergency, unplug the charger from the power
source and disconnect the battery from the charger.
• DO NOT operate the charger in a cluttered space, or place
objects on top of the charger or battery.
• If any battery or battery cell is damaged in any way, DO NOT
charge, discharge, or use the battery.
• Keep a Class D fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire.
• DO NOT disassemble, crush, short circuit, or expose the batteries
to flame or other source of ignition. Toxic materials could be
released. If eye or skin contact occurs, flush with water.
• If a battery gets hot to the touch during the charging process
(temperature greater than 110°F / 43°C), immediately
disconnect the battery from the charger and discontinue
charging.
• Allow the battery pack to cool off between runs (before
charging).
• ALWAYS unplug the charger and disconnect the battery when
not in use.
• ALWAYS unplug the battery from the electronic speed control
when the model is not in use and when it is being stored or
transported.
• DO NOT disassemble the charger.
• REMOVE the battery from your model or device before charging.
• DO NOT expose the charger to water or moisture.
• ALWAYS store battery packs safely out of the reach of
children or pets. Children should always have adult
supervision when charging and handling batteries.
• Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly.
• Always proceed with caution and use good common sense at
all times.
