VENOM Stronghold Solo Manual De Funcionamiento página 3

THANK YOU
Thank you for purchasing the Venom Stronghold Solo battery-charging box. The
Stronghold was designed as a fire containment-charging box to help protect
surrounding surfaces and property from damage or destruction as the result of a
catastrophic battery failure. This design is meant to help control the release of gases
and fumes in a safe manner if a failure occurs. It is not a guarantee against damage,
but is meant to greatly reduce damage to surfaces and property. Be responsible and
observe proper charging techniques.
The use of the Stronghold Solo does not eliminate the risks of a lithium polymer battery
fire. Users should always follow the safety warnings, instructions and guidelines
provided by their battery and charger manufacturers in connection with this product.
1. Always use a charger specifically designed for the chemistry of the battery to be
charged. Never use NiCD or NiMH type chargers to charge LiPO batteries. Never
use a LiPO type charger to charge NiCD or NiMH batteries. Failure to do so will
damage the batteries and may cause fire and personal injury. When charging
NiMH batteries, you must use a linear charger with peak detection. Do not use a
timer charger. Charge battery at no higher than a 1C charge rate. To calculate your
battery's 1C charge rate, divide the battery capacity (mAh) by 1000.
Example: 3000mah ÷ 1000 = 3amps, 4200mah ÷ 1000 = 4.2amps, etc.
2. Do not charge batteries on or near wood, cloth, carpet, in your model, or on or near
any other flammable material. Keep a chemical fire extinguisher nearby incase of
fire.
3. Never leave batteries unattended while charging. Always observe batteries when
charging so that you may react quickly to any problems that may occur.
4. If a battery is deformed, swollen or appears damaged, DO NOT CHARGE. Follow the
disposal instructions on pg. 3 to properly and safely dispose of the battery.
5. Any time you have an accident with your model or if the battery swells "balloons" or
if the battery exceeds temperature guidelines, follow these safety steps:
a. Immediately remove the battery pack from your model or charger.
b. Place the battery in a non-flammable, well ventilated area.
c. Observe the battery for 30 minutes from a safe distance.
d. After 30 minutes, if the pack appears stable, is not swollen and does
not show any signs of damage, return the battery pack to normal
use with caution.
