SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(continued from previous page)
• 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. No cord is
supplied. Use a cord long enough 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. For indoor use
only.
• DO NOT use an adapter of any kind or modify or change the battery
plug/connector.
• ALWAYS store battery packs safely out of the reach of children
or pets. Children should always have adult supervision when
charging and handling batteries.

disposed of properly.
• Always proceed with caution and use good common sense at all
times.
