User manual

You must read and understand these safety instructions and war-
nings before using or charging your lithium polymer batteries.
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are volatile. Failure to read and
follow the below instructions may result in re, personal injury
and damage to property if charged or used improperly.
Hacker TopFuel, its distributors or retailers assume no liability for
failures to comply with these warnings and safety guidelines.
By purchasing this battery, the buyer assumes all risks associated
with lithium batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions,
return the battery immediately before use.
Use specic Lithium Polymer charger only. Do not use a NiMH or
NiCd charger – Failure to do so may a cause re, which may result
in personal injury and property damage.
Never charge batteries unattended. When charging LiPo batte-
ries you should always remain in constant observation to mo-
nitor the charging process and react to potential problems that
may occur.
Some LiPo chargers on the market may have technical decien-
cies that may cause it to charge the LiPo batteries incorrectly or
at an improper rate. It is your responsibility solely to assure the
charger you purchased works properly. Always monitor charging
process to assure batteries are being charged properly. Failure to
do so may result in re.
If at any time you witness a battery starting to ‘balloon’ or swell
up, discontinue charging process immediately, disconnect the
battery and observe it in a safe place for approximately 15 mi-
nutes. This may cause the battery to leak, and the reaction with
air may cause the chemicals to ignite, resulting in re.
Since delayed chemical reaction can occur, it is best to observe
the battery as a safety precaution. Battery observation should
occur in a safe area outside of any building or vehicle and away
from any combustible material.
Wire lead shorts can cause re! 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 (such as rings on your hand), severe
injuries may occur due to the conductibility of electric current.
A battery can still ignite even after 10 minutes.
In the event of a crash, you must remove battery for observation
and place in a safe open area away from any combustible mate-
rial for approximately 30 minutes.
If for any reason you need to cut the terminal wires, it will be ne-
cessary to cut each wire separately, ensuring the wires do not
touch each other or a short may occur potentially causing a re.
Process to solder a connector: Remove insulating tape of Red wire
and solder to positive terminal of a connector, then remove insu-
lating tape of Black wire and solder to the negative terminal of
connector. Be careful not to short the wire lead. If you acciden-
tally cause the battery to short, place it in a safe open space and
observe the battery for approximately 30 minutes. A battery may
swell or even possibly catch re after a short time.
Never store or charge battery pack inside your car in extreme
temperatures, since extreme temperature could ignite re.
Use caution to avoid puncture of the cell. Puncture of cells
may cause a re.
1. Important Safety Instructions and
Warnings
2. General Guidelines and Warnings
Charge battery with good quality Lithium Polymer charger. A
poor quality charger can be dangerous. Set voltage and current
correctly (failure to do so can cause re).
Never charge batteries unattended.
Charge in an isolated area, away from other ammable materi-
als.
Let battery cool down to ambient temperature before charging.
Do not charge a pack that has been ‘cold soaked’ (i.e. stored at
low temperatures, for example, stored in winter conditions lower
than 5°C/41F). Please allow the pack to warm up and normalize
to at l east 15°C/57F for 24 hours before commencing charge.
Do not charge batteries packs in series. Charge each battery
pack individually. Failure to do so may result in incorrect battery
recognition and charging functions. Overcharging may occur
and re may be
the result.
When selecting the cell count or voltage for charging purposes,
select the cell count and voltage as it appears on the battery
label. As a safety precaution, please conrm the information
printed on the battery is correct.
Example a: The label on a 2-Cell battery pack in series will read
– “Charge as 2-Cell (7.4V), or may cause re” – You must select
2-Cell for charging.
Example b: The label on a 3-Cell battery pack in series will read
– “Charge as 3-Cell (11.1V), or may cause re” – You must select
