LiPo Battery Warnings

IMPORTANT NOTE: Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile 

than the alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries also used in RC applications. 

All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property 

damage and / or personal injury as the mishandling of LiPo batteries can 

result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included LiPo battery you 

assume all risks associated with LiPo batteries. If you do not agree with these 

conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition to 

the place of purchase immediately.

•  You MUST charge the LiPo battery in a safe area away from flammable 

materials.

•  NEVER, at any time, leave the LiPo battery unattended when it’s being 

charged.

•  When charging the battery you should ALWAYS remain in constant 

observation to monitor the charging process and react immediately to 

any potential problems that may occur.

•  After flying / discharging the battery you must allow it to cool to ambient/

room temperature before recharging.

•  To charge the LiPo battery you MUST use only the included charger. 

Failure to do so may result in a fire causing property damage and/or 

personal injury. DO NOT use a NiCd or NiMH charger.

•  We recommend charging the LiPo in a proprietary, fireproof, dedicated 

LiPo charge bag.

If at any time during the charge or discharge process the battery begins to 

balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly 

and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away 

from flammable materials to observe for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to 

charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in 

a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen, even a small amount, must be 

removed from service completely.
For best results, store  the  battery  at  room  temperature – approximately  

68 – 77°Fahrenheit (F) – and in a dry area.
