WARNING: ALL INSTRUCTION AND PRECAUTIONS MUST BE READ AND FOLLOWED EXACTLY.
WARNING: Procedures, which if not properly followed, create the probability of property damage, collateral damage and serious injury OR create a high probability of superficial injury.
Failure to exercise care while using this product and comply with the following conditions and guidelines could result in product malfunction, excessive heat, fire, property damage, and ultimately injury.
Lithium Ion batteries are not toys. For the purposes of this document Li-Ion, Li-Po, LiHV or Li-Fe batteries will be described as “Batteries.”

Age Recommendation: Not for children under 14 years. This is not a toy.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Never alter, puncture or impact Batteries or related components.
Do not directly connect the terminals with metal or other conductive objects. This will short-circuit Batteries, resulting in heat and electrical discharge.
Never store loose Batteries together, the Batteries’ terminals may contact one another causing a short circuit.
Never expose Batteries to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. For example, never store Batteries in a fullsized vehicle. The temperature range for battery storage must be between 40–120°F (4–49°C).
Always verify voltage of Batteries that have been out of service for greater than six months. Ensure your Batteries’ individual cell voltages are at least 3V before attempting to charge or use.
Always disconnect Batteries when not in use and store Batteries in a non-conductive and fireproof container.
For best results, store Batteries at approximately 1/2 of the capacity listed on the Batteries’ label, or 3.8V per cell.

BEFORE THE FIRST CHARGE

Make a physical inspection of Batteries for any damaged or loose leads or connectors, damaged packaging, or other irregularities which may cause a short circuit and potential fire.
Verify that the positive terminal of the Batteries are connected to the positive terminal of the charger. Confirm polarity with a voltmeter if unsure.
Check the voltage of Batteries using a voltmeter to make sure Batteries have a voltage consistent with the voltage listed on Batteries’ label.

CHARGING / DISCHARGING

Refer to your charger’s manual for complete charging / discharging guidelines. The warnings and guidelines listed below must be followed to avoid fire, property damage, and injury.

Never leave charging or discharging Batteries unattended.
Never leave batteries charging or discharging overnight.
Always use a compatible charger with a cell balancing mode, specifically designed for lithium batteries.
Always charge Batteries in a fireproof or fire-retardant container, such as a LiPo bag, in an open area away from flammable materials, liquids and surfaces.
Never charge Batteries inside of the model.
Never charge Batteries that are hot to the touch (above 100°F). DO NOT handle Batteries until they are cool.
Never charge Batteries that are below 40°F (4°C). The internal Battery temperature must be at least 40°F (4°C) before charging is attempted.
Never charge wet batteries. Safely dispose of Batteries that have been submerged in water.
Always set the charger to the proper chemistry, cell count and voltage listed on Batteries’ labels.
Always set the charger to the charge current rate as listed on Batteries’ labels. The charger should never be set to chargeBatteries at a rate greater than 1C (One (1) times the capacity of Batteries in amp hours) unless another C rate is specifiedin the manufacturer’s product documentation or the rate is preset as part of a specific battery and charger combination.
Always check the voltage of Batteries before each charge session in order to ensure they are at or above the minimum safe starting voltage. If starting voltage is below recommended levels then Batteries have been over discharged or have experienced a failure and should NOT be charged.
Never overcharge Batteries beyond the capacity or voltage listed on Batteries’ labels.
If your battery has a cell balance lead, ensure that it is inserted in the correct port of your charger before charging.
If you are using a multi-port charger, always connect the battery power lead and the battery cell balance lead to the samechannel. Refer to the specific instructions for your charger for more information about proper connections.
Never discharge Batteries at amperage rates higher than specified on Batteries’ labels.
Never allow the temperature of Batteries to exceed 160°F during discharge. Adequate cooling for Batteries is required, especially when discharging at or near maximum rates.
Never discharge Batteries to voltage below which they are rated by the manufacturer when measured under load (connected to the vehicle or a charger capable of discharge). Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may be damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when Batteries are charged.

The preinstalled connectors and wire gauges on your batteries have been tested and matched to typical usage in radio control applications. These connectors do have power limitations. Your battery may produce more power under certain circumstances than what the connector is able to withstand. If you will be using a Horizon Hobby battery in any application that will exceed the connector’s power capabilities, it is your responsibility to ensure that you replace the connector with a product better suited to the higher ratings you are using.

ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS

Damaged or swollen Batteries can be unstable and very hot. DO NOT touch Batteries until they have cooled.
If at any time Batteries become damaged, hot, or begin to balloon or swell, discontinue charging (or discharging) immediately.Quickly and safely disconnect the charger from its power source. DO NOT continue to handle, or attempt to use the Batteries.
Discontinue use and dispose of damaged or swollen batteries immediately. Failure to follow these procedures can cause damage to Batteries, personal property or cause serious injury.
Dispose of Batteries in the manner required by your local, state, and national laws. In the event of fire, immediately call emergency services as only a Class D, dry chemical fire extinguisher must be used.
In the event of a crash, always quickly and safely disconnect and remove Batteries from the model. Observe the battery in a safe place for 10–15 minutes before attempting to use the battery again. Then follow the previously listed safety procedures.
If the internal contents of Batteries come into contact with your skin, wash the affected area(s) with soap and water immediately. If it comes into contact with your eye(s), flush them with generous amounts of water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

Batteries are tested by continuous discharge of the battery to 3.0V at an appropriate minimum percentage of the batteries’ published C rating for typical hobby
use for 3 seconds and a continuous duty cycle discharge to 3.0V at an appropriate minimum percentage of the batteries’ published C rating for 15 seconds. SPEKTRUM SPMXB3S140 11.1V 14000mAh 3S 120C Smart G2 Pro
