7. Information on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today, there are
many dangers and problems. In particular in LiPo/LiIon batteries with high energy content (as compared to
conventional NiMH batteries), various provisions must be complied with to avoid danger of explosion and
re.
Therefore, always observe the following information and safety notes in handling of batteries and recharge-
able batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed
by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into re. There is a danger
of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin at contact; therefore, use
suitable protective gloves.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or surfaces that
come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suita-
ble location.
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of re and explosion! Charge only rechargeable
batteries intended for this; use suitable chargers.
Batteries (1.5 V) are intended for one-time use only and must be disposed of properly when discharged.
• Always observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries into the transmitter or connecting the ight battery
(observe plus/+ and minus/-).
Incorrect polarity will damage not only the transmitter but also the plane model and the rechargeable battery. There
is a danger of re and explosion.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries in the transmitter. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones. Always use
batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer
• Only use high-quality alkaline batteries for the remote control transmitter. When using rechargeable batteries, the
charging electronics in the transmitter will be unable to charge the ight battery sufciently.
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries from the remote
control transmitter to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
Attention!
Do not leave the rechargeable ight battery connected to the plane model if the latter is not used (e.g. during
transport or storage). Otherwise, the ight battery may be fully discharged and is thus destroyed/unusable!
Remove the ight battery from the model plane for recharging.
• Never charge the ight battery right after use. Always leave the LiPo ight battery to cool off rst (at least 5 - 10
minutes).
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery is damaged or the bat-
tery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate danger of re and explosion!
