3.4.2 LiPo batteries
After the flight, the LiPo flight battery must be disconnected
from the »Xtreme.
Lithium is a highly reactive chemical element with a
high energy density. In the case of overcharging, the
LiPo rechargeable battery packs might catch fire or even
explode. Therefore, LiPo rechargeable battery packs must
always be put on a fire-proof surface for charging and the
charging process must be supervised.
In no case must the maximum permissible battery
pack temperature of +60°C be exceeded Otherwise the
rechargeable battery may explode!
3.4.2.1 Hazards of LiPo flight batteries
> Do not leave the LiPo ight battery connected when you do not use it (e.g. during
transport or storage). Otherwise, the LiPo ight battery may be fully discharged. This
would destroy it and render it unusable! There is also a danger of malfunction due to
interference. The rotors could start up inadvertently and cause damage or injury.
> Rechargeable LiPo batteries are very susceptible to moisture due to the chemicals they
contain! Do not expose them to moisture or liquids. Risk of explosion!
> Do not expose the charger or LiPo ight battery to high/low temperatures or to direct
solar radiation. When handling LiPo batteries, observe the special safety information
of the battery manufacturer!
> Never charge the LiPo ight battery immediately after use. Always leave the LiPo ight
battery to cool off rst (at least 5-10 minutes).
> Only use the supplied USB LiPo charger or the “RC EYE OneStation” (89041RC) to
charge the ight battery.
> Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the external insulation of the
rechargeable battery is damaged or if the rechargeable battery is deformed or bloated,
it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate danger of re and explosion!
> Never damage the exterior of a LiPo ight battery. Never cut the covering foil. Never
stab any LiPo ight batteries with pointed objects.
> As the charger and the rechargeable LiPo ight battery both heat up during the
charging procedure, it is necessary to ensure sufcient ventilation. Never cover the
charger or the LiPo ight battery! Of course, this also applies for all other chargers and
rechargeable batteries.
> Remove the LiPo ight battery that is to be charged from the model and place it on a
re-proof support (e.g. a plate). Keep a distance to ammable objects.
> Disconnect the LiPo ight battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
> Chargers may only be operated in dry rooms. The charger and the LiPo ight battery
must not become damp or wet.
> Never take the rechargeable battery apart! The rechargeable battery may not be
subjected to any mechanical strain! The contacts may not be short-circuited, as there
is danger of re and explosion!
> Do not expose rechargeable batteries to re, as there is a risk of explosion!
> Keep rechargeable LiPo batteries away from children. Store rechargeable batteries in
a dry, cool place.
> If a rechargeable battery is deformed or damaged during a crash, it must no longer be
used. The same applies for “swollen” rechargeable batteries, or rechargeable batteries
with other visible deformation or leaks. Do not attempt to charge such rechargeable
batteries! Danger of re and explosion!
> Dispose of rechargeable batteries in an ecologically sound fashion.
> The general hazard notices for handling batteries and rechargeable batteries also
apply for rechargeable LiPo batteries.
