7. NOTES ON BATTERIES AND RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES
Despite the fact that handling batteries and rechargeable batteries in daily life
nowadays is a matter of fact, there are still numerous dangers and problems
involved.
For LiPo/Lion rechargeable batteries in particular, various regulations must be
observed under any circumstances due to their high energy content (in com-
parison to conventional NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries), because
otherwise there is danger of explosion and fire.
Ensure that you observe the following information and safety measures when
handling batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of
batteries being swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immedi-
ately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown
into fire. There is a danger of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin
when touched without the use of adequate protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Only charge rechargeable batteries intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery
chargers. Batteries (1.5 V) are meant to be used once only and must be properly dis-
posed of when empty.
• Please observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-)of a battery pack when connecting
the rechargeable battery. Wrong polarity may not only damage the model and the
rechargeable batteries. There also is a risk of fire and explosion.
