• Use the supplied charger to charge the included battery.
• 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. This charger is equipped with a long cord intended to allow the battery to be
charged outside of an automobile when using the automobile's auxiliary power socket. If the
cord will not reach outside of the automobile, find another power source.
• 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.
