Xmania lipo battery safety instruction and warnings
NOTE: You must read and understand these safety instructionsand warnings before using or charging your Lithium polymer batteries.
Before the First Charge
1) Make a visual inspection of thepack; and checking for any damaged leads, connectors, broken/cracked shrinkcovering, puffiness or other irregularities.
2) Before installing or changing theconnector, check the voltage of the pack using a digital voltmeter. All newpacks ship at approximately 3.80V to 3.90V per cell.
Charging Process
1) Never charge batteries unattended.
2) Charge in an isolated area, awayfrom flammable materials.
3) Let the battery cool down toambient temperature before charging.
4) Charge each battery packindividually. Over-charging of one or the other battery may occur resulting infire.
5) When selecting the cell count orvoltage for charging purposes, select the cell count and voltage as it appearson the battery label. Selecting a cell count or voltage other than the oneprinted on the label may result in over-charging and fire. As safety precaution, please confirm that the informationprinted on the battery is correct.
6) You must check the pack voltageafter each flight before re-charging. Donot attempt to charge any pack if the un-loaded individual cell voltages areless than 3.3V.
For example:Do not charge a 2-cell packs if below 6.6V
Donot charge a 3-cell pack if below 9.9V
First Few Flights
Xmania Battery usually recommends nomore than 3-5Caveragedischarge for breaking in new packs. Also be extremely careful not toover-discharge new packs (Packs should NEVER be over-discharged at any time,but over-discharging on the first flight will ruin the battery permanentlybefore you are able to enjoy it.)
Operating Temperature
Charge: 32 to 113 degreesF
Discharge: 32 to 140 degrees F
1) Always allow a battery to cool downto ambient temperature before re-charging.
2) During discharge and handling ofbatteries, do not exceed 160 degrees F.
Storage& Transportation
1) Store batteries at room temperaturebetween 40-70 degrees F for best results.
2) If storing longer than one week;batteries must be stored at 3.80V/cell to 3.90V/cell (approximately 50%charged).
3) Do not expose battery packs todirect sunlight (heat) for extended periods.
4) When transporting or temporarilystoring in a vehicle, temperature range s should be greater than 20 degrees Fbut no more than 150 degrees F.
5) StoringLipo batteries at temperatures greater than 170 degrees F for extended periods of time (more than 2 hours) may causedamage to battery and possible fire.
Caring for Batteries
1) Only charge a LiPo battery with agood quality Lithium Polymer charger. A poor quality charger can be dangerous.
2) Set voltage and current correctly(failure to do so can cause fire).
3) Please check pack voltage after thefirst charge.
Forexample; a 2 Cell battery shouldmeasure 8.4V (8.30 to 8.44V), a 3 cell battery should measure 12.6V (12.45Vto12.66V).
4) Do not discharge a battery to alevel below 3.3V per cell under load. Discharging below 3.3V per cell candeteriorate battery performance.
Be sure to setyour ESC for the proper cut off voltage (6.6V cutoff for 2S packs, 9.9V cut offfor 3S packs, etc).
5) Use caution to avoid puncture ofthe battery. Puncturing a LiPo battery may cause a fire.
