CHARGING AND HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• CHARGING TIME: ~4 hrs for a 2S 1200 mAh Li-Ion battery.
• DO NOT leave the charger and batteries unattended while charging, discharging, or
any time that the charger is ON with batteries connected. If there are any signs of a
malfunction or in the event of an emergency, unplug the charger from the power source
and disconnect the batteries from the charger.
• DO NOT charge the battery for longer than 5 hours.
• ALWAYS unplug the charger and disconnect the batteries when not in use.
• REMOVE the batteries from your vehicle before charging.
• DO NOT let any exposed battery contacts or wires touch each other. This will cause
the battery to short circuit and create the risk of fire.
• During the charge process watch for swollen or ballooning cells. If this happens,
immediately disconnect the charger and move the battery in a fireproof place for 15
minutes. Do not attempt to charge again.
• NEVER charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet or on any other flammable material.
• ALWAYS charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• REMOVE flammable items and combustible materials from the charging area.
• DO NOT place objects on top of the charger or batteries.
-Any battery involved in a crash should be removed and observed in a fireproof space
for 15 minutes before continuing to use.
• If any battery or battery cell is damaged in any way, do NOT charge, discharge, or use
the battery.
• DO NOT disassemble, crush, short circuit, or expose the batteries or cells to flame or
any other source of ignition.
• DO NOT expose the batteries and charger to water or moisture.
• ALWAYS store battery packs safely out of the reach of children and pets.
• DO NOT charge batteries under ANY of the following conditions:
- Batteries that are hot to the touch.
- Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable to accept
the power output (voltage and amperage) the charger delivers during the charging
process.
- Batteries that are damaged or defective in any way.
Examples of damage or defects include, but are not limited to, batteries with dented
cells, damaged or frayed wires, loose connections, fluid leaks, corrosion, plugged vents,
swelling, cell deformity, impact damage, melted components, or any other signs of
damage.
- Battery packs that have been altered from original manufacturer configuration.
- Non-rechargeable batteries (explosion hazard).

identifying the battery type and specifications.
