XVI. LiPO BATTERY SAFETY GUIDELINES
LiPO BATTERY WARRANTY
This product is warranted against defects in original material and workmanship only. No term warranty is offered with this product. In no case shall
Venom Power’s liability be greater than the actual purchase price of this product. See the Warranty page for more information on replacement.
SAFETY GUIDELINES:
1. Always use a charger specifically designed for Lithium Polymer batteries. Never use NiCd or NiMH type chargers to charge LiPO batteries. Failure to
do so will damage the batteries and may cause fire and personal injury.
2. Always charge batteries in a fire proof container or in the open, away from flammable materials. Do not charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet, in
your helicopter, or on any other flammable material. Keep a chemical fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire.
3. Never leave batteries unattended while charging. Always observe batteries when charging so that you may react quickly to any problems that may
occur.
4. If a battery is deformed, swollen or appears damaged,
DO NOT CHARGE. IMMEDIATELY DISCHARGE.
a. Discharge battery pack to 2.5 Volts per cell or less.
b. Fill a bucket with enough water to submerge the battery pack completely.
c. Add salt to the water until no more salt will dissolve; the water is now saturated with salt.
d. Place the battery pack in the bucket and leave submerged in the salt water solution for 24
hours.
e. Remove the battery pack from the salt water and test the voltage.
f. If the voltage does not read 0.0 Volts, re-submerge an additional 24 hours and re-test until
the voltage reads 0.0 Volts.
g. Once the battery pack has been discharged to 0.0 Volts, it is safe to dispose.
5. Any time you have an accident with your helicopter or if the battery swells “balloons” or if the battery exceeds temperature guidelines, follow these
safety steps:
a. Immediately remove the battery pack from your helicopter or charger.
b. Place the battery in a non-flammable, well ventilated area.
c. Observe the battery for 30 minutes from a safe distance.
d. After 30 minutes, if the pack appears stable, is not swollen and does not show any signs of
damage, return the battery pack to normal use with caution.
6. Do not let exposed battery wires touch each other. This may cause the battery to short and potentially cause a fire.
7. Store your batteries in a cool, dry place between 40-80 Fº / 4-26 Cº. LiPOs should be charged to 50% of their capacity minimum before being stored.
8. Do not assemble unmatched or dissimilar LiPO cells.
