Charging and handling precautions for all battery types:
• BEFORE you charge, ALWAYS confirm that the charger settings
exactly match the type (chemistry), specification, and configuration of
the battery to be charged.
• DO NOT attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries (explosion
hazard), batteries that have an internal charge circuit or a protection
circuit, batteries that have been altered from original manufacturer
configuration, or batteries that have missing or unreadable labels,
preventing you from properly identifying the battery type and
Specifications.
• DO NOT exceed the maximum manufacturer recommended charge
Rate.
• DO NOT let any exposed battery contacts or wires touch each other.
This will cause the battery to short circuit and create the risk of fire.
• While charging or discharging, ALWAYS place the battery (all types
of batteries) in a fire retardant/fire proof container and on a
non-flammable surface such as concrete.
• DO NOT charge batteries inside of an automobile. DO NOT charge
batteries while driving in an automobile.
• NEVER charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet, or on any other
flammable material.
• ALWAYS charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• REMOVE flammable items and combustible materials from the
charging area.
• DO NOT leave the charger and battery unattended while charging,
discharging, or anytime the charger is ON with a battery connected. If
there are any signs of a malfunction or in the event of an emergency,
unplug the charger from the power source and disconnect the battery
from the charger.
• DO NOT operate the charger in a cluttered space, or place objects
on top of the charger or battery.
• If any battery or battery cell is damaged in any way, DO NOT
charge, discharge, or use the battery.
• Keep a Class D fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire.
• DO NOT disassemble, crush, short circuit, or expose the batteries to
flame or other source of ignition. Toxic materials could be released. If
eye or skin contact occurs, flush with water.
• If a battery gets hot to the touch during the charging process
(temperature greater than 110°F / 43°C), immediately disconnect the
battery from the charger and discontinue charging.
• Allow the battery pack to cool off between runs (before charging).
• ALWAYS unplug the charger and disconnect the battery when not in
use.
• ALWAYS unplug the battery from the electronic speed control when
the model is not in use and when it is being stored or transported.
• DO NOT disassemble the charger.
• REMOVE the battery from your model or device before charging.
• DO NOT expose the charger to water or moisture.
• ALWAYS store battery packs safely out of the reach of children or
pets. Children should always have adult supervision when charging
and handling batteries.
• Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries must be recycled or disposed
of properly.
• Always proceed with caution and use good common sense at all
times.
