LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
LiPo Battery Charge Current (Ah)
Charging current should be less than maximum charge current specified in the Product
Specification. Charging with higher current than recommended value may cause damage to cell
electrical, mechanical and safety performance and could lead to heat generation or leakage.
LiPo Battery Charging voltage (V)
Read the Product Specification and respect the maximum voltage (4,2V/cell). Never charge
higher than 4,25V, which is the maximum voltage. Charging with a higher voltage will irreparably
damage the battery and may lead to the start of a fire.
LiPo Battery Charging Temperature
The battery must be charged to an ambient temperature of 10°C~45°C.
Reverse Polarity
It is essential to observe the polarity. Reverse polarity (POSITIVE and NEGATIVE) will damage the
cells, cause the battery to swell and can damage your charger.
Discharging Current
The battery must be discharged at less than the maximum discharge current specified in the
battery instruction manual. High discharging current may reduce the discharging capacity
significantly or cause over-heat.
Discharge Temperature
Environmental temperature : -20°C~60°C.
Over Discharging
Never discharge the battery cells below 3.2V.
When the battery is empty, recharge it immediately. Do not store an empty battery, the battery
will continue to discharge, it will fall below the minimum voltage and become unusable.
To prevent over-discharging, the battery shall be charged periodically to maintain between
3.6V and 3.9V. The High-performance charger are equipped with a device to prevent further
discharging exceeding a specified cut-off voltage.
LiPo Battery Storage
The batteries must be stored within -10°C~45°C range environmental condition.
If the battery has to be stored for a long time (+3 months), the voltage storage shall be a
3.6V~3.9V range. Always store your LiPo pack in a safe and non flammable container away from
flammable objects.
Handling of LiPo Battery
Take maximum care when handling and installing LiPo batteries made of flexible aluminum
packaging in your model. These batteries are quickly damaged on sharp edges or spikes.
