6. Battery information

There are numerous hazards associated with the use of rechargeable batteries. Compared with
conventional NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries, LiPo rechargeable batteries have a high
energy content. For this reason, it is essential to comply with safety regulations to prevent the
risk of a fire or explosion.
Always observe the following safety information when handling rechargeable batteries.
In addition, ensure that you observe any additional safety information provided by the battery
manufacturer.

a) General information

• Rechargeable batteries are not toys. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries lying around, as they constitute a choking hazard for chil-
dren and pets. Seek immediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed.
• Batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or thrown into a fire, as this may
cause a fire or explosion.
• When handling leaking or damaged batteries, always use suitable protective
gloves to avoid burning your skin.
• Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries, as this may cause a fire
or explosion.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are only designed to be used once and must be dis-
posed of properly when they are empty.

jects. Maintain a sufficient distance between the charger and the rechargeable
battery. Never place the battery on top of the charger.
