Lipo Battery Safety Guidelines - VENOM Dual 3 Cell AC/DC LiPo Balance Manual

LiPo Battery Safety Guidelines

1. Always charge batteries in a fire proof container, in the open and away from flammable materials. Do not charge
batteries on or near wood, cloth, carpet, in your model, or on or near any other flammable material. Keep a chemical
fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire.
2. Never leave batteries unattended while charging. Always observe batteries when charging so that you may react
quickly to any problems that may occur.
3. LiPo cells feature a separate balancing plug that isolates each cell in a pack and charges it independently. This
ensures that all cells peak equally and discharge at the same rate during use, preventing one or more cells from
discharging past their safe low voltage cut off rating. The balancing plug can be identified by the multi wire JST XH
plug.
4. Charge each battery pack individually. Never charge battery packs in series. Charging packs in series may result in
improper charger cell recognition and an improper charging rate that may lead to overcharging, cell damage and fire.
5. Always check to make sure that your charger settings match those listed on the battery pack label. Refer to the
battery label for the proper cell count and charging amperage setting. Selecting a cell count or amperage charge rate
other than the one listed on the battery pack will damage the battery and may cause a fire.
6. Always check battery pack voltage before charging. Do not discharge LiPo batteries below 3.0 Volts per cell. The
voltage of a typical LiPo cell at rest is 3.7 Volts. If the battery pack appears swollen or damaged, DO NOT CHARGE,
DISCHARGE, OR USE IN ANY WAY. Please contact the battery manufacturer for further instructions.
