Flyability ELIOS 3 Smart Battery Safety Guidelines
use of a battery below 0ºC can lead to permanent damage. Contact Flyability for further
assistance.
- Use of the battery in temperatures above 50ºC can lead to fire or explosion. Contact Flyability
for further assistance.
- Never disassemble, puncture, drop, strike or place heavy objects on top of the battery in any
way. The battery may leak, catch fire or explode.
- Never let the battery be short-circuited by any means.
- In case of battery leakage: do not allow the electrolyte to come in contact with clothing, skin, or
eyes. In case of contact, immediately wash the affected area with fresh running water and then
seek medical assistance.
- Avoid using the battery near strong electromagnetic sources or heating sources, such as
microwaves.
- In case of battery fire, use a water or CO2 extinguisher to put out the fire. Do not inhale the
smoke coming off the battery. The smoke is toxic. Immediately alert qualified emergency
services (e.g. firefighters).
- Do not allow the battery to come in contact with conductive surfaces.
- Do not place the battery into pressurized compartments. Do not place the battery in pockets,
bags, or drawers in which it might come in contact with conductive, sharp or perforating items.
- Clean the battery using a clean, dry, lint-free and antistatic cloth.
3. Battery Charging
3.1. Best Practices
- Charge batteries fully only if you plan to use them in the 5 following days.
- After a flight, let the battery cool down to room temperature before charging them. It generally
takes about 30min.
- Do not charge your batteries in temperatures below 10ºC or above 40ºC. The battery does not
allow charge if the temperature is not in the range -5ºC – 50ºC.
- The BMS tracks the battery discharge cycles. Batteries should not be used beyond 40
charge/discharge cycles.
- Always place your batteries in a safe area while charging. Never leave them unattended.
- The charger stops charging when the battery is fully charged, but it is good practice to monitor
the charging process and disconnect the battery when fully charged.
3.2. Safety Guidelines
- Do not connect the battery to wall power outlets, car power outlets or any power outlets
directly. Always use Flyability approved battery chargers.
- Never leave the battery unattended while charging.
- Do not charge the battery near or on flammable objects such as paper or curtains.
- Do not charge the battery immediately after a flight, the battery temperature may be too high.
Do not charge the battery if its temperature is not between 10ºC to 40ºC.
- Charge the battery in an open and ventilated area. Do not enclose or cover the charger with
items such as cloth as it may lead to overheating.
- Disconnect the charger when not in use. Regularly examine the charger for damage to the
wires, the enclosure or other parts. Never use a damaged charger.
- Clean the charger using a clean, dry, lint-free and antistatic cloth.
- Have close to the charger proper equipment to extinguish a battery fire and fire detection
device.
