Flyability ELIOS 3 Smart Battery Safety Guidelines
4. Battery Storage
4.1. Best Practices
- Store batteries in a safe and dry place (with fire detection if possible).
- Charge batteries before storage. Fully charge them at least once every 3 months.
- When you intend to store your batteries, discharge them to 50%. The discharge can be done by
using the battery user interface and selecting the “storage mode” in the battery menu.
- The battery will automatically discharge itself to the optimal storage capacity of 50% if it is not
used for several days.
- Batteries have a lifespan of 6 months after the first use, do not use them beyond this period.
- Never store a battery in the aircraft.
4.2. Safety Guidelines
- Keep the batteries out of the reach of children or animals.
- Do not leave the batteries exposed to sunlight or near heat sources. Do not leave batteries
inside a vehicle in hot weather. Store the batteries in temperatures between 15ºC and 30ºC. For
best results, store the batteries at a temperature of 23ºC.
- Keep the battery dry.
- Keep the battery away from conductive objects.
- Have close to the battery proper equipment to extinguish a battery fire and fire detection
device.
- If the battery is over discharged (voltage below 18V), the battery will not charge.
5. Battery Transport
- Batteries are considered as Dangerous Goods. If you need to transport your batteries into an
airplane, please follow the latest IATA regulations. Do not hesitate to contact your airline before
flying to get advice. Keep the batteries in your carry-on luggage and not as checked luggage.
- Secure all connectors against short circuits using insulation tape, place the batteries in
individual plastic bags.
- Never transport your battery with a state of charge higher than 30%. Discharge your battery at
30 % each time you intend to travel by plane with the battery. The discharge can be done by
using the battery user interface and selecting the “transportation mode” in the battery menu.
Once at your destination, put the battery back to the storage capacity (see Battery Storage).
6. Battery Disposal
- Completely discharge your battery.
- Dispose of the battery in specific recycling boxes. Do not place the battery in regular trash.
Comply with the local regulations regarding the disposal and recycling of LiPo batteries.
