Lithium Ion/polymEr BAttEry SAFEty WArnings Ensure that the charger and battery are placed on a non-flammable surface whilst charging and ideally charge outdoors wherever possible. NEVER charge a Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery inside a vehicle whatever the circumstances. ALWAYS ensure that the charger is correctly set for the battery being charged, checking both voltage and capacity. Be particularly careful if using a series/parallel battery pack, or if using packs of different specificati

Lithium Ion/polymEr/FE BAttEriEs Lithium battery packs must NEVER be discharged below 3 volts per cell as this will result in damage to the cells. If the voltage is allowed to drop below 3 volts per cell the battery voltage may seem to recover following a charge, but the battery may not then give its full nominal capacity and a reduction in performance is likely – allowing the voltage to drop below 3 volts per cell will invalidate all warranty claims. NEVER charge Lithium Polymer battery pa
