Swollen Batteries

Immediately stop using or charging. If the battery is not warm

to the touch, move it to an open safe area and observe it for at

least 15 minutes. Be VERY CAREFUL when moving the batteries.

Do NOT put ANY pressure on the batteries or covering as this

may cause fire.

Additional Information & Guidelines

1. Battery temperature the best indicator for safety. The E-flite Li-Po

Battery’s temperature should never drop below 32 degrees

Fahrenheit or go above 130 degrees Fahrenheit while charging

or discharging.

2. Changing plugs is NOT recommended as the process is

dangerous and any error can cause immediate fire. Improperly

installed plugs can also cause fire due to shorts, reverse polarity

or other improper handling which can cause battery damage.

3. Batteries should be stored in a vented, fire resistant container.

Each pack should be stored in its own locked plastic bag within

the container. The number of battery packs per container

should be extremely limited to avoid chain reactions. Storage

temperatures should not fall below 32 degrees F or above

130 degrees F. Damaged batteries must be kept at even more

ambient temperatures. High temperatures may cause fire even

with undamaged batteries.

Battery Disposal

Li-Po batteries require special handling for safe disposal. The

following are basic instructions for safe disposal. For more

detailed safety, disposal and recycling information please go to:

www.rbrc.org or www.earth911.org.

Basic Disposal Instructions

Before discarding any Li-Po battery it must be rendered safe.

The following steps must be taken to avoid damage or injury to

yourself, your property and 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 2.5V using a slow, safe

discharge method.

2. Leave battery uncharged and retest after at least 24 hours.

Many batteries experience “rebound” and may have more

than 2.5V after 24 hours. If the battery is over 2.5V, repeat the

procedure until the battery is 2.5V or less.

3. Insulate each wire lead with electrical tape or other

appropriate material.

4. Assure that wire leads cannot touch each other by taping them

to opposite sides of the battery.

5. Place battery in a sealed plastic bag and place plastic bag in a

vented, fire-safe container.

6. Use fire-safe container to deliver battery to a recycling center

authorized for Lithium Polymer batteries. Please note that not all

battery-recycling services include Li-Po’s. If no Li-Po recycling

facility is available in your area, contact your state or local

Hazmat agencies for instructions.

7. If the battery or wiring is damaged please contact your

state or local Hazmat facilities for instructions. Batteries must

be rendered safe before being transported or recycled. Do

NOT transport or ship batteries which have more than 2.5V

charge OR that show signs of damage without following the

instructions given by authorities. Damaged batteries should be

rendered as safe as possible and stored in a vented fireproof

container until recycled.
