Battery Care Guidelines

Avoid poor quality LiPo chargers.

Do not use poor quality LiPo chargers to charge LiPo batteries. It is always recommended to use the manufacturer's recommended charger when possible.

Check pack voltage after first charge.

Please check pack voltage after the first charge. The difference between the cells should not exceed 0.02v after a balanced charge. If the new battery exceeds 0.1v between the cells after a balanced charge, that battery should be returned to the manufacturer for replacement.

Do not discharge LiPo batteries to a level below 3V per cell under load

Deep discharge below 3.0v per cell can deteriorate battery performance. Discharging a batteries cell below 3.0v will cause irreparable damage to the cell and could compromise the integrity of the battery. For the best health of your battery, refrain from discharging a battery below 3.2v per cell.

End-of-life Disposal

Batteries that lose 20% of their capacity must be removed from service and disposed of properly. Proper disposal includes discharging the battery to 3.0v or below, Some chargers have a discharge function specifically for disposing of LiPo batteries. Follow your local state and city ordinances in regards to the proper disposal of LiPo batteries.

Avoid puncture of any LiPo battery cell.

Use caution to avoid puncture of the cell. Puncture of cells may result in personal injury and property damage. LiPo battery fires burn very hot, LiPo battery fires are considered a metal fire and require a metal fire fire extinguisher to combat the flames.
