BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGER WARNING: You must read these safety instructions and warnings carefully before charging or using your batteries. Failure to exercise caution while using Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries and comply with the following warnings could result in battery malfunction, electrical issues, excessive heat, fire, or injury and property damage. GENERAL GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS You must read these safety instructions and warnings carefully before charging or using your battery. • Stop using or charging the battery immediately if the battery becomes or appears damaged, starts to balloon or swell, leaks, becomes deformed or gives off an odor, exceeds a temperature of 160ºF (71ºC), or if anything else abnormal occurs. Disconnect the battery and observe in a safe area outside of any building or vehicle for at least 45 minutes, as a damaged battery can experience a delayed chemical reaction that could possibly result in fire. • Never disassemble, modify, puncture, shock, drop, crash and/or short circuit the battery. Leakage, smoke emission, ignition, explosion or fire can occur, which may result in personal injury or property damage. • DO NOT leave the battery and charger unattended during use. • Never drop charger or batteries. • Never attempt to charge “dead” or damaged batteries. • Never charge a battery if the cable has been pinched or shortened. • Never allow minors to charge or use battery packs without adult supervision. • Never allow batteries to come in contact with moisture at any time. • Never charge or store batteries in extremely hot or cold places (recommended between 50º-80ºF/10º-26ºC), leave in a hot environment (inside an automobile in hot weather), or leave in direct sunlight. • Never place or carry batteries in your pockets or clothing. • Always use Freefly-approved LiPo batteries. • Always inspect the battery before charging. • Always connect the positive red lead (+) and negative black lead (-) terminals of the battery to the charger terminals correctly. • Always disconnect the battery after charging, and let the charger cool between charges. • If a battery will not be used for more than one week, it is recommended that the battery is stored with a voltage of approximately 3.8V per cell. Do not store the battery fully charged. Store the battery at room temperature in a cool or shaded area (ideally between 50º-80ºF /10º-26ºC). • Batteries should be stored in a vented, fire-resistant container. No more than two batteries should be placed in a container to avoid chain reactions. Storage temperatures should not fall below 32ºF/0ºC or above 130ºF/54ºC. Damaged batteries are extremely sensitive to temperature fluctuation and care should be taken in their immediate disposal. High temperatures may cause fire, even with undamaged batteries. NOTICE: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included LiPo batteries, you assume all risks associated with LiPo batteries. If you are not prepared to accept complete liability for the purchase and/or use of the batteries, you are advised to return them in new and unused condition to the place of purchase immediately. IMPORTANT NOTE:If you are using the battery to power or charge an accessory used with the MōVI, it is your responsibility to constantly monitor the battery’s voltage through the use of a voltage checker. If the accessory drains the battery below 3.0V per cell, it will damage the battery and render the battery unusable. Never attempt to charge a battery that has individual cell voltages below 3.0V. CHARGING PROCESS WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • Never charge or use a LiPo battery that shows any damage or disfigurement of any kind, as this may be a sign of internal damage. Any damage to the protective cover, wiring or plugs is also reason to discontinue use. • Always disconnect the charge lead from the battery after charging. • Never leave the charge lead hanging from the battery after charging. • Never allow the positive red lead (+) and negative black lead (-) terminals of the charge lead to come in contact when connected to the battery. • Never charge a battery unattended. • Never connect more than one battery pack to the charger at a time. • Never charge near moisture, extreme temperatures, flammable or combustible materials. • Never charge the battery while installed on the MōVI or other equipment or while inside a vehicle. • Never attempt to charge a battery that is damaged or has individual cell voltages below 3.0V. • Always inspect batteries before charging. • Always use a specific LiPo charger only. Do not use a Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel-metal hydride (NiMh) charger, even though these chargers may appear similar to a LiPo charger. Failure to do so may cause a fire, which may result in personal injury and/or property damage. • Always let the battery cool down to ambient temperature before charging. • Always monitor the temperature of the battery while charging. If the battery becomes hot to the touch or begins to swell, discontinue charging immediately. Disconnect the battery from the charger and observe it is a safe place for at least 45 minutes. • Always ensure that the proper cell count or voltage is selected on your charger for this battery. Failure to properly set the cell count or voltage could result in fire or explosion of the battery. • For optimal performance and extended life, do not allow your battery voltage to drop below 3.4V. It is recommended that you use a voltage checker to actively monitor battery voltage. BATTERY DISPOSAL NOTICE: LiPo batteries require special handling for safe disposal. The following steps must be taken to avoid damage or injury to yourself, your property or anyone who comes in contact with the battery. If the battery is undamaged but no longer useful: 1. Discharge the battery to a maximum of 1.0V per cell using a safe discharge method. 2. Leave the battery uncharged and retest the battery after 24 hours. If the battery is over 1.0V per cell, repeat the procedure until the Battery is 1.0V per cell or less. 3. Place electrical tape over each wire lead and tape the wire leads to opposite sides of the battery. 4. Place battery in a sealed plastic bag and place plastic bag in a vented, fire-safe container. 5. Use a fire-safe container to deliver battery to a recycling center authorized for LiPo batteries. Please note that not all battery recycling services include LiPo batteries. If no LiPo recycling facility is available in your area, contact your state or local HAZMAT agency for instructions. If the battery is damaged: 1. If the battery or wiring is damaged, please contact your state or local HAZMAT facility for instructions. Batteries must be rendered safe before being transported or recycled. 2. DO NOT transport or ship batteries which have more than 1.0V per cell charged OR that show signs of damage without following the instructions given by the HAZMAT agency.
