Charging Process Guidelines

Always charge LiPo batteries in a designated area away from hazardous and/or flammable materials. Batteries should NOT be left unattended while charging.
Prior to charging, make sure to let the battery cool down or warm up to ambient temperature before charging. The ideal temperature range for charging a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery is between 41°F to 113°F (5°C to 45°C), with room temperature 68°F (20°C) being ideal. Charging at higher temperatures can improve charge and discharge performance, but can also shorten the battery's life. If the battery gets warmer than body temperature while charging, it could be a sign that the battery is nearing the end of its life or that the charging rate is incorrect.
When selecting the cell count or voltage for charging purposes, select the cell count and voltage as it appears on the battery label. Selecting a cell count or voltage other than the one printed on the label can be dangerous. As a safety precaution, please confirm the information printed on the battery is correct. See the example below.
