2. Safety Information and Warnings

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are powerful and require careful handling. Failure to follow these safety guidelines can result in fire, personal injury, and property damage.

• Charging: Always use a LiPo-compatible charger. Do not overcharge the battery; the maximum voltage per cell should not exceed 4.2V. Do not over-discharge the battery; the minimum voltage per cell should not fall below 3.7V.
• Temperature: Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures. Avoid direct sunlight and store in a cool, dry place.
• Physical Damage: Do not puncture, drop, or impact the battery. A damaged battery may explode or catch fire.
• Disassembly: Do not disassemble or modify the battery in any way. This can lead to explosion or fire.
• Moisture: Do not handle the battery with wet hands or expose it to water.
• Abnormalities: If the battery exhibits any abnormal behavior such as swelling, noise, unusual temperature, or liquid leakage, discontinue use immediately and safely dispose of it.
• Disposal: Dispose of LiPo batteries according to local regulations. Never dispose of them in regular household waste.

4. Setup

Before first use, ensure the battery is fully charged using a compatible LiPo charger. Always inspect the battery for any signs of damage before connecting it to your device.

1. Inspect Battery: Check the battery casing, wires, and connectors for any damage, swelling, or leaks. Do not use if damaged.
2. Connect to Charger: Connect the main EC5 connector of the battery to your LiPo charger's output port. Also, connect the balance lead to the balance port on your charger.
3. Charge: Set your charger to the correct LiPo charging mode, voltage (14.8V for 4S), and current (typically 1C, which is 6A for a 6000mAh battery). Begin charging.
4. Monitor: Monitor the charging process closely. Never leave a charging LiPo battery unattended.
5. Installation: Once fully charged, disconnect the battery from the charger. Carefully install the battery into your RC model, ensuring it is securely fastened and the wires are not pinched. Connect the EC5 connector to your model's ESC (Electronic Speed Controller).

5. Operating Instructions

This HRB LiPo battery is designed for high-performance RC applications. Ensure your RC model's components (motor, ESC) are compatible with a 4S (14.8V) LiPo battery and can handle the 50C discharge rate.

• Pre-Flight/Run Check: Always perform a pre-operation check of your RC model and battery. Ensure all connections are secure.
• Voltage Monitoring: Use a low-voltage alarm or telemetry system to monitor the battery voltage during operation. Stop using the battery when any cell reaches 3.7V to prevent over-discharge.
• Temperature: Avoid operating the battery in conditions that cause it to overheat. If the battery becomes excessively hot, allow it to cool down before further use or charging.
• Impact Avoidance: Protect the battery from impacts during operation. Even minor impacts can damage internal cells.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life and ensures the safety of your LiPo battery.

• Charging: Always balance charge your LiPo battery to ensure all cells maintain equal voltage. This is crucial for battery health and longevity.
• Storage: For long-term storage, charge the battery to a storage voltage (typically 3.8V-3.85V per cell). Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and flammable materials.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the battery for any signs of damage, swelling, or unusual odors.
• Connector Care: Keep connectors clean and free of debris to ensure good electrical contact.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HRB LiPo battery, consider the following:

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charger is properly connected and powered.
  • Verify charger settings match the battery type (LiPo), voltage (14.8V), and cell count (4S).
  • Check for damaged connectors or wires on both the battery and charger.
• Reduced Run Time/Power:
  • The battery may be aging or has been over-discharged.
  • Ensure the battery is fully charged and balanced before use.
  • Check for excessive current draw from your RC model's motor or ESC.
• Battery Swelling:
  • Immediately discontinue use. Swelling indicates internal damage or overcharging/over-discharging.
  • Safely discharge the battery to 0V (if possible and safe to do so, e.g., with a specialized discharger in a fire-safe location) and dispose of it according to local regulations. Do not attempt to use or charge a swollen battery.
• Overheating During Use/Charging:
  • Stop operation or charging immediately.
  • Allow the battery to cool down.
  • Check for short circuits in your RC model or incorrect charger settings.
