7. Battery information
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.
• 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, as this
may cause an explosion!
•
When handling leaking or damaged batteries, always use suitable protective gloves to avoid burning
your skin.
•
Liquids that leak from batteries are very corrosive and may cause serious damage to objects or surfaces
that come into contact with them. Always store batteries in a suitable location that is not prone to dam-
age.
• 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 model for an extended period (e.g. during storage), remove the batteries
from the remote control to prevent them from leaking and causing damage. The quadcopter battery is
built into the quadcopter; store the quadcopter (with the built-in battery) in a cool, dry place out of the
reach of children. The same applies for 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.
•
Always ensure that the remote control batteries are inserted in the correct polarity (observe the plus/+
and minus/- symbols).
•
Do not expose the charger or quadcopter (with the built-in battery) to high/low temperatures or direct
sunlight.
•
Batteries must not become damp or wet. The same applies for the charger and the quadcopter. The
charger must only be used in dry, enclosed indoor areas.
Lithium rechargeable batteries (e.g. LiPo/Li-ion batteries) contain chemicals that are very sensitive to
moisture (fire/explosion hazard).
