LiPo Battery Safety Guidelines Cont.

9. For best results do not charge at over 1C current. C= battery pack mAh capacity ÷ 1000. Divide the battery mAh
capacity by 1000 to determine the proper charge rate. Example: 1200mAh ÷ 1000 = 1.20 Amps Charge Rate for LiPo
Battery Packs,
example:
a. 800mAh Capacity = 0.80 Amps
b. 1200mAh Capacity = 1.20 Amps
c. 2000mAh Capacity = 2.00 Amps
10. Battery Temperature is critical. For optimum performance in cold climates, warm the pack to 100Fº/ 37Cº before
use. Please use the following guidelines:
a. Charge Temp Range: 32 - 110Fº / 0-43Cº
b. Discharge Temp Range: 32 - 140Fº / 0-60Cº
c. Storage Temp Ra40 - 80Fº / 4-26Cº
11. If the battery swells or "balloons" or if the battery exceeds temperature guidelines, follow these safety steps:
a. Immediately remove the battery pack from your model or charger.
b. Place the battery in a non-flammable, well ventilated area.
c. Observe the battery for 30 minutes from a safe distance.
d. After 30 minutes, if the pack appears stable, is not swollen and does not show any signs of damage,
return the battery pack to normal use with caution.
12. If a battery is deformed, swollen or appears damaged, DO NOT CHARGE, DISCHARGE or USE IN ANY WAY.
Please contact the battery manufacturer for further instructions.
WARNING: CHARGING OR DISCHARGING A DEFORMED, SWOLLEN OR
DAMAGED BATTERY WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF FIRE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
