7. Information relevant to (rechargeable) batteries
Batteries present numerous safety hazards. Compared with conventional NiMH rechargeable bat-
teries, LiPo/Li-ion rechargeable batteries have a high energy content. For this reason, it is essential
to comply with safety regulations to prevent the risk of a fire or explosion.
Always observe the following safety information when handling batteries.
a) General information
•
Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
•
Do not leave batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children and pets. Seek im
-
mediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. Danger
of explosion!
•
When handling leaking or damaged batteries, always use suitable protective gloves to avoid burning
your skin.
• Liquids leaking from batteries are very chemically aggressive. Objects or surfaces that come into contact
with these liquids could become seriously damaged. Always store batteries in a suitable location that is
not prone to damage.
• Do not attempt to recharge disposable, non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion!
Non-rechargeable batteries are only designed to be used once and must be disposed of properly when
they are empty. Only recharge compatible rechargeable batteries and ensure that you use a suitable
battery charger.
•
If you do not plan to use the vehicle for an extended period, remove the batteries from the remote control
to prevent them from leaking and causing damage. Store the product in a dry, clean and cool place that
is out of the reach of children. The same applies to batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Install a smoke detector in the room. Batteries present a fire hazard and may generate toxic fumes. This
applies in particular to batteries for model toys, which are subjected to high charging/discharge currents
and vibrations.
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries in the remote control. Do not mix full batteries with half-full
ones. Always use batteries of the same type and from the same manufacturer. Never mix disposable
batteries with rechargeable batteries.
• Please observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries
into the transmitter.
• Do not expose the charger and the quadrocopter/rechargeable flight battery to high/low temperatures
or direct sunlight.
•
Batteries must not become damp or wet. The same applies to the charger and the quadrocopter/re
-
chargeable flight battery. The charger must only be used in dry, enclosed indoor areas.
Lithium rechargeable batteries (e.g. LiPo/Li-ion batteries) are especially sensitive to moisture because
of the chemicals they contain.
