Battery Information Safety Instructions And Warnings - Intel Falcon 8+ User Manual


When you have a battery showing this error mode, push the battery button once. As a
result, a few LEDs will be lit. Please either make a photo of the lit LEDs or note which
ones are lit (no. 1 is the LED most left, no. 5 is the LED most right). Contact the
support team at Intel and provide the information which LEDs are lit. In case this state
became active during a flight, please also provide a log file of this flight.
If you see any other behavior of the LEDs contact your supplier.

Battery information safety instructions and warnings

Caution: Please read the following safety instructions and warnings carefully before
charging or using the batteries!
Intel can not assume any liability for failures to comply with these warnings
and safety guidelines.
• LiPo batteries do not have any memory effect. Therefore never fully discharge LiPo
batteries as it will permanently damage the batteries.
• Do not store the batteries fully charged. It will lead to a shorter life span of the
battery. Use the BMS battery Storage Mode (see section
Mode
• Lithium Polymer batteries are volatile. Failure to read and follow the below
instructions may result in fire, personal injury and damage to property if charged or
used improperly.
• Always keep a Class D (ABC-Powder) fire extinguisher near your battery charging/
discharging and storage area. The battery charging/discharging and storage area
should be free from any materials which can catch fire such as: wood tables,
carpet, or gasoline containers. The ideal surface for charging and storing LiPo
batteries is metal, concrete or ceramic.
• By purchasing this battery, the customer assumes all risks associated with lithium
batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions, return the battery immediately
before use.
General Guidelines and Warnings
• It is crucial that all cells in a LiPo battery maintain the same voltage across all cells
at all times.
• Never charge batteries unattended. When charging LiPo batteries you should
always remain nearby to monitor the charging process, and react to potential
problems that may occur.
• Never continue to charge LiPo batteries if the battery LEDs fail to recognize full
charge. Overheating of the LiPo cells is an indication of a problem. The battery
should be disconnected from the power supply immediately and placed in a
fireproof location.
• Since delayed chemical reaction can occur, it is best to monitor the battery as a
safety precaution. Battery monitoring should occur in a safe area outside of any
building or vehicle, and away from any combustible material. Always charge LiPo
batteries in a fireproof location.
• A battery can still ignite even after a longer period time.
• In the event of a crash, you must remove the battery for observation and place it in
a safe open area away from any combustible material for an appropriate period of
time.
