Lithium Polymer (LiPo) BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
If not charged or used correctly, Lithium Polymer batteries may ignite
without warning and cause serious injury and property damage. If you are
unable to follow the safety recommendations then do not use them.
Do not leave a LiPo battery unattended during charging or discharging.
Always store LiPo batteries in a secure location away from children and
animals.
NEVER charge Lithium Polymer batteries with a charger designed for NiCd,
NiMH, or any other type of battery chemistry.
Do not allow LiPo cells to overheat at any time. Cells which reach
greater than 140E Fahrenheit (60EC) will usually become damaged and
could catch fire.
Do not charge LiPo cells on or near combustible materials including
paper, plastic, carpets, vinyl, leather, or wood. Do not charge inside
an automobile.
Do not forcefully discharge, doing so will damage the pack. Never exceed
the charge or discharge current rating.
Do not expose LiPo cells to water or moisture at any time.
Do not store or use LiPo batteries near an open flame or heater.
Do not assemble LiPo cells or pre-assembled packs together with other
LiPo cells or packs.
Never use a LiPO battery that may have been subjected to damage or harsh
handling. Carefully inspect the battery and connectors for even the
smallest damage. CAUTION: cells may be hot!
Do not allow the electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin. Wash affected
areas immediately if they come into contact with electrolyte.
Do not alter or modify connectors or wires of a Lithium battery pack.
