B) Flight Batteries - Conrad GAUI 500X-S Operating Instructions Manual

b) Flight Batteries

Attention!
After the flight, the flight battery must be disconnected from the electronics system of the quadrocopter. Do not
leave the rechargeable flight battery connected to the model if the latter is not used (e.g. during transport or
storage). Otherwise, the LiPo flight battery may be fully discharged and is thus destroyed/unusable! There is also
a danger of malfunction due to interferences. The propellers could start up inadvertently and cause damage or
injury.
• Never charge the enclosed flight battery immediately after use. Always leave the LiPo flight battery to cool off first (at least
5-10 minutes).
• To charge LiPo rechargeable batteries, always use a LiPo charger and a LiPo equalizer/balancer.
• 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 fire and
explosion!
• Never damage the flight battery covering, do not cut the foil cover, do not probe the rechargeable battery with sharp
objects. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Remove the flight battery that is to be charged from the model and place it on a fire-proof support. Keep a distance to
flammable objects.
• Always charge rechargeable batteries at the current indicated by the manufacturer and observe that the permissible
maximum values are not exceeded.
• As the charger as well as the flight battery heat up during the charging process, it is necessary to ensure sufficient
ventilation. Never cover the charger or the flight battery! Of course, this also applies for all other chargers and rechargeable
batteries.
• Never leave batteries unattended while charging them.
• Disconnect the flight battery from the charger when the rechargeable battery is fully charged.
• Charges and rechargeable batteries must not get damp or wet. The charger and the flight battery must not become damp
or wet!
Attention!
Rechargeable LiPo batteries in particular are very susceptible to moisture due to the chemicals they contain!
Do not expose the charger or LiPo flight battery to high/low temperatures or to direct solar radiation. When
handling LiPo batteries, observe the special safety information of the battery manufacturer!
