immediately wash the affected area with fresh running water for at least 15 minutes, and then see a doctor
immediately.
•
DO NOT use the battery if it was involved in a crash or heavy impact.
•
If the battery falls into water with the aircraft during flight, take it out immediately and put it in a safe and
open area. Maintain a safe distance from the battery until it is completely dry. Never use the battery again,
and dispose of the battery properly as described in the Battery Disposal section below. DO NOT heat
batteries. Put out any battery fire using sand or a dry powder fire extinguisher
•
DO NOT put batteries in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container.

Battery Use
•
Make sure the batteries are fully charged before each flight.
•
Land the aircraft immediately when low battery levels are activated.
Battery Charging
•
The Intelligent Flight Battery is designed to stop charging when it is full. However it is a good practice to
monitor the charging progress and disconnect the batteries when fully charged.
•
Ensure the Intelligent Flight Battery is turned off at all times during charging.
Battery Storage
•
Discharge the battery to 40%-65% if it will NOT be used for 10 days or more. This can greatly extend the
battery life.
•
The battery automatically discharges to below 65% when it is idle for more than 10 days to prevent it from
swelling. It takes approximately 3 days to discharge the battery to 65%. It is normal that you may feel
moderate heat emitting from the battery during the discharge process.
•
DO NOT store the battery for an extended period after fully discharging it. Doing so may over-discharge the
battery and cause irreparable battery cell damage.
•
The battery will enter hibernation mode if depleted and stored for a long period.
•
Recharge the battery to bring it out of hibernation.
•
Remove batteries from the aircraft when stored for an extended period.
