After a crash, inspect the battery pack for the sign of damage. Discard in accordance with your country’s recycling laws.Never charge the LiPo battery in a moving vehicle.Never overcharge the LiPo battery.Never leave the LiPo battery unattended during recharging.Do not charge LiPo batteries near ammable materials or liquids.Ensure that charging leads are connected correctly. Reverse polarity charging can lead to battery damage or a re or explosion. Have a suitable re extinguisher (electrical type) OR a large bucket of dry sand near the charging area . Do not try to extinguish electrical (LiPo) battery res with water.Reduce risks from re/explosion by storing and charging LiPo batteries inside a suitable container.Protect your LiPo battery from accidental damage during storage and transportation. (Do not put battery packs in pockets or bags where they can short circuit or can come into contact with sharp or metallic objects.).If your LiPo battery is subjected to a shock (such as a crash), place it in a metal container and observe for signs of swelling or heating for at least 30 minutes.Do not attempt to disassemble or modify or repair the LiPo battery.LiPo batteries are dierent from conventional batteries in that their chemical contents are encased in a relatively lightweight foil packaging. This has the advantage of signicantly reducing their weight, but does make them more susceptible to damage if roughly or inappropriately handled. As with all batteries, there is a risk of re or explosion if safety practices are ignored:!
