Battery Using Attention

Matters needing attention

1. Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged.
2. Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
3. Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision.
4. Only used to charge 2S Li-ion or Li-polymer battery packs. if not, the charger or battery may be damaged.
5. During charging, the charger should be put in a dry and ventilated place and far away from the heat sources and inflammable and explosive substances.
6. Never immediately charge your battery pack as soon as the flight is finished, or when its temperature doesn’t cool down. Otherwise, the battery will take the risk of swelling, even a fire.
7. Ensure the correctness of polarity before connecting the battery to the charger.
8. Avoid drop and violence during the process of charging. drop and violence will result in an internal short circuit of the battery.
9. For the sake of safety, please use the original charging equipment and battery pack. please change new one in time when the flying time is becoming shorten due to long time usage.
10. If it is retained in the charger for a long time after saturated, the battery may automatically discharge. When the charger detects that the voltage of individual cells is lower than the rated voltage, it will recharge until saturated. Frequently charging and discharging will shorten the lifetime of your battery pack. It is advised that please cut off the power and take off the battery after the charging is saturated.

Maintenance of battery pack

1. The battery pack should be put in a dry and ventilated place. The storage temperature of the environment is ranged from 18°C to 25°C.
2. Please avoid frequent charging and excessive discharging of the battery pack to prolong its life cycle.
3. It is a must to maintain the battery pack before long-term storage. That is to charge the battery to the level of 50-60% saturation.
4. If the storage term is over 1 month, it is advised to monthly check the voltage of every cell of the battery pack. The voltage of every cell should be not less than 3V. Otherwise, please refer to the above article (3).
5. From the viewpoint of protection, a new battery pack should be motivated before usage. That is to charge and discharge 3-5 times, but discharge is not less than the level of 70% saturation. This process will make the battery lifetime longer and the voltage more stable.
