b) Flight Battery
Attention!
After the flight, the LiPo flight battery must be disconnected from the electronics system of the Quadro-
Copter. Do not leave the LiPo flight battery connected to the helicopter electronic system when you do not
use it (e.g. during transport or storage). Otherwise the LiPo flight battery may be fully discharged. This
would destroy it and render it unusable! There is also a danger of malfunction due to interferences. The
rotors could start up inadvertently and cause damage or injury.
• Never charge the LiPo flight battery immediately after use. Always leave the LiPo flight battery to cool off first (at
least 10 - 15 minutes).
• To charge LiPo rechargeable batteries, always use a LiPo charger and a LiPo equalizer/balancer.
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the external insulation of the rechargeable battery is damaged or if
the rechargeable battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate danger of
fire and explosion!
• Never damage the exterior of a LiPo flight battery. Never cut the covering foil. Never stab any LiPo flight batteries
with pointed objects. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Remove the LiPo flight battery that is to be charged from the model and place it on a fire-proof support (e.g. a stone
tile). Maintain enough distance from flammable objects.
• As the charger and the rechargeable LiPo flight battery both heat up during the charging procedure, it is necessary
to ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the charger or the LiPo flight battery!
• Never leave LiPo batteries unattended while charging them.
• Disconnect the LiPo flight battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Chargers may only be operated in dry rooms. The charger and the LiPo flight battery must not get damp or wet.
With chargers operated via mains voltage, there is a danger of potentially fatal electric shock! There is also
the risk of fire or explosion by the rechargeable battery. Rechargeable LiPo batteries in particular are very
susceptible to moisture due to the chemicals they contain! Do not expose the charger or LiPo flight battery
to high/low temperatures or to direct solar radiation. When handling LiPo batteries, observe the special
safety information of the battery manufacturer!
