Remove the battery from the vehicle before charging. Place battery on a fire
resistant surface. Avoid any contact with water or other liquids. Be sure to

ALWAYS use a compatible charger for charging your batteries.
Caution: Never leave the battery unattended while charging. Always disconnect the charger from the power source when finished charging.

Battery Installation:

LiPo: LiPo batteries (lithium polymer) are high current rechargeable
batteries. LiPo batteries offer extended run time and peak performance over
NiMH batteries. They require a peak detection charger designed specifically
for LiPo batteries. These batteries require special care and handling. LiPo
batteries are recommended for advanced users only! ALWAYS charge a LiPo
battery in LiPo mode.
