Charging Lithium Polymer batteries with incorrect charger WILL CAUSE FIRE, AND
EXPLOSION.
Please make sure your charger supports charging Lithium Polymer batteries.
If you do not have an appropriate charger, please order one
HERE.
We are NOT responsible for any
damage cause by incorrect charging of Lithium Polymer.
*****WARNING*****
Imagine flying a
4-Channel Tiger Moth or
J3 Piper Cub for over an hour on a single
charge. Or imagine an indoor 3-D model that you can
hover in a small office for over 15 minutes. With LiPo batteries you no longer
have to imagine, as this type of performance is now a reality.
For the first time in its
over-30-year existence, an electric powered model was competitive against the
most powerful O.S. and Y.S. glow-powered pattern airplanes in an FAI world
championship format. At the start of the event, contestants and spectators alike
were skeptical, believing that competing with an electric model was more of a
publicity stunt than a serious competition attempt. But after the first flight,
all skeptics were silenced and by the end of the preliminary rounds, a 4th place
position transferring into the finals proved that an electric-powered model had
the right stuff to compete against the most powerful glow-powered aircraft, as
flown by the best pilots in the world.
ATTENTION/CAUTION
- NEVER charge Lithium Polymer batteries with a charger designed for NiCd,
NiMH, or any other type of battery chemistry. Use ONLY the chargers listed
under REQUIRES or equivalent substitutes.
- Do not allow LiPo cells to overheat at any time. Cells which reach greater
than 140¡ã Fahrenheit (60C) will usually become damaged and could catch fire.
- Do not charge LiPo cells on or near combustible materials including paper,
plastic, carpets, vinyl, leather, wood, inside an R/C model or full size
automobile.
- Do not discharge, doing so will damage the pack.
- Do not expose LiPo cells to water or moisture at any time.
- Do not store batteries near an open flame or heater.
- Do not assemble LiPo cells or pre-assembled packs together with other LiPo
cells or packs.
- Do not leave a LiPo battery unattended during charging or discharging
- Always store LiPo batteries in a secure location away from children
- Always remove a LiPo battery if model is involved in any kind of crash.
Carefully inspect the battery and connectors for even the smallest damage.
CAUTION: cells may be hot!
- Do not allow the electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin. Wash affected
areas immediately if they come into contact with electrolyte. Do not alter or
modify connectors or wires of a Lithium battery pack.
