Safety Information
WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are powerful and can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, personal injury, and property damage.
- Do not throw the battery into fire.
- Never leave charging batteries unattended.
- Always charge LiPo batteries on a fire-resistant surface and away from flammable materials.
- Use only chargers specifically designed for LiPo batteries and ensure correct voltage and cell count settings.
- Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery. Overcharging can lead to fire, and over-discharging can damage the battery.
- Do not puncture, disassemble, short circuit, or modify the battery.
- Keep batteries out of reach of children and pets.
- If the battery swells, smokes, or gets excessively hot, immediately disconnect it and move it to a safe, non-flammable area.
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in a LiPo-safe bag or container.

Setup
Initial Inspection
Upon receiving your Tattu LiPo battery, carefully inspect it for any signs of damage, such as swelling, punctures, or damaged wires/connectors. If any damage is observed, do not use the battery and contact customer support.
First Charge
Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the battery. Use a compatible LiPo balance charger. Connect the main XT60 plug to the charger's output and the JST-XH balance plug to the charger's balance port. Set your charger to the correct cell count (3S for this battery) and charging current (typically 1C, which is 1.8A for an 1800mAh battery). Always monitor the charging process.

Operating
Connecting to Device
Ensure your device (e.g., drone, RC vehicle) is powered off before connecting the battery. Connect the XT60 plug of the battery to the corresponding XT60 connector on your device. Ensure a secure connection.
Discharge Guidelines
Avoid over-discharging your LiPo battery. The minimum safe voltage for a 3S LiPo battery is 3.0V per cell, or 9.0V total. It is highly recommended to stop using the battery when any cell reaches 3.5V-3.7V under load to prolong its lifespan. Over-discharging can permanently damage the battery and reduce its capacity.

Maintenance
Storage
For long-term storage, charge or discharge the battery to its storage voltage, typically 3.8V-3.85V per cell (11.4V-11.55V for a 3S battery). Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A LiPo-safe bag or fireproof container is recommended.
Balancing
Regularly balance charge your LiPo battery to ensure all cells maintain similar voltage levels. This is crucial for battery health and longevity.
Temperature
Avoid operating or charging the battery in extreme temperatures. Optimal operating temperature is between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F). Do not charge a cold battery; allow it to warm up to room temperature first.
Troubleshooting
- Battery Not Charging:
- Ensure all connections (main and balance leads) are secure.
- Verify charger settings match battery specifications (3S, LiPo mode).
- Check for any visible damage to the battery or charger.
- Reduced Flight/Run Time:
- Battery may be aging or has been over-discharged.
- Ensure battery is fully balance charged before use.
- Check for high internal resistance (if your charger can measure it), which indicates battery degradation.
- Battery Swelling:
- Immediately stop using and charging the battery.
- Move the battery to a safe, non-flammable location.
- Swelling indicates internal damage, often due to overcharging, over-discharging, or physical impact. The battery should be safely disposed of.
