NTRODUCTION
We are delighted that you have purchased a Lithium-Polymer
(LiPo) battery pack from our MULTIPLEX Li-BATT range.
LiBATT batteries are manufactured to the high standards
required by the quality-conscious modeller, and are optimised
for low weight, high energy density, durability and reliability.
Li-BATT batteries are the perfect choice for high-performance
power systems in models.
LiPo batteries require special charging techniques, and a few
important points must also be observed concerning storage and
discharging. Keep to our recommendations, and these batteries
will give you pleasure for a long time.

AFETY OTES
! These Instructions for Use are an essential part of this
product, and contain important information and safety
notes. For this reason you should always store them in a
safe place. Be sure to pass them on to the new owner if you
ever dispose of the product.
! Read the instructions carefully!
Read and observe the Safety Notes!
Do not attempt to use your Li-BATT battery until you have
read right through these instructions and the safety notes
(printed below or separate), and understood them com-
pletely. Before you use the battery, check that it is in
perfect, undamaged condition.
If the battery is damaged, it must not be used again!
! Li-BATT batteries are not hazardous if they are handled
and used correctly.
! Batteries are not playthings, and must be stored well out
of the reach of children.
!
If mishandled (heating, burning, short-circuit, over-
charging, deep-discharging, reversed polarity), or if used in
conditions which result in inappropriate operation, LiPo
batteries may leak and start to decompose. This may result
in violent reactions which are hazardous to health and the
environment.
! Li-BATT batteries are only approved for use in modelling.
They must not be used in man-carrying aircraft, vehicles or
for similar applications.
! Protect the battery from vibration, dust, damp and shock
or pressure loads, as may occur, for example, in crashes.
Check the pack at regular intervals. Do not re-use the
battery if it is damaged!
! No materials are released from Li-BATT batteries in
normal circumstances
reasonably be expected.
! Caution! if cells are opened, the exposed lithium could
react with oxygen in the air, and this could result in fire and
explosion. On no account breathe in the fumes!
Provide adequate ventilation.
!
Treat burns in the appropriate manner, and seek medical
assistance.
!
If gas is released, leave the area immediately. Escaped
gases are an irritant to the airways, and must not be
inhaled. Seek medical assistance if necessary.
!
If a Li-BATT battery ignites when in actual use, the fire
can be extinguished with water.
! Never attempt to open a cell or a battery pack. Take care
to avoid sharp objects accidentally damaging the cells'
outer skin. Do not modify the battery pack in any way. Use
only genuine accessories.
!
If a Li-BATT battery is damaged, it is possible for
electrolyte to escape. Place the damaged battery in an
airtight plastic bag, and add dry sand, powdered chalk
(CaCO ) or Vermiculite.

Instructions for Use Li-BATT Lithium-Polymer batteries
and conditions which
!
If electrolyte is ingested, wash out the mouth and
surrounding area with plenty of water. Seek medical
assistance immediately!
! Do not allow the battery to contact fire, water or other
fluids.
! The materials inside the battery are corrosive; do not
allow them to contact skin or eyes. In an emergency rinse
the affected area with plenty of water, and seek medical
attention.
! The battery connecting lead has no strain relief; never
carry the battery by the wires, or use them to pull it out of
the model. The solder tags may bend or break if stressed,
and this will render the battery useless.
! Never solder directly to the cells, as the great heat may
damage the cells.
! Read the maximum permissible charge and discharge
currents printed on the Li-BATT pack, and always stay
within those limits.
