# General Guidelines and Warnings

## **Use specific Lithium Polymer chargers only. Do not use a NiCd or NiMh charger.**

Failure to do so may result in personal injury and property damage. Always use manufacturers recommendations for chargers when possible.

## **Never charge batteries unattended**.

When charging LiPo batteries, you should always remain in constant observation to monitor the charging process and to be able react to potential problems that may occur.

## **If at any time you witness a battery starting to balloon or swell up, discontinue the charging process immediately**.

Disconnect the battery and observe it in a safe place for approximately 15 minutes. Continuing to charge a battery that has begun to swell could result in a fire. Never use a battery if you find it swollen or ballooned upon purchase.

## **If you accidentally short the wires, the battery must be placed in a safe area for observation for approximately 15 minutes**.

Additionally, if a short occurs and contact is made with metal, severe injuries may occur due to the conductibility of an electric current.

## **In the event of a crash, remove the batteries for observation**.

Place them in a safe open area away from any combustible material for approximately 15 minutes.

## **If for any reason you need to cut the terminal wires, it will be necessary to cut each wire separately**.

Ensure the wires do not touch each other or a short may occur, potentially causing a fire. If you accidentally cause the battery to short, place it in a safe open space and observe the battery for approximately 15 minutes
