Safety Precautions

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

• Charging: Only use chargers specifically designed for LiPo batteries and compatible with the battery's voltage and capacity. Using an incorrect charger can cause overheating, fire, or rupture.
• Supervision: Always charge batteries in a visible area, away from flammable materials. Never leave charging batteries unattended.
• Storage: Store LiPo batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods.
• Damage: Do not use batteries that are swollen, punctured, or otherwise damaged. Dispose of damaged batteries safely according to local regulations.
• Disassembly: Never attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
• Short Circuit: Avoid short-circuiting the battery terminals.
• Disposal: Dispose of batteries responsibly. Consult local regulations for proper LiPo battery disposal.

Setup and Charging

Initial Charging

1. Ensure you have a compatible LiPo charger (not included) that supports 7.4V LiPo batteries and has a BEC (JST) connector.
2. Connect the battery's BEC (JST) connector to the corresponding port on your charger.
3. Set your charger to the correct LiPo charging mode and voltage (7.4V).
4. Set the charging current. For this 450mAh battery, a charging current of 0.45A (1C) is generally recommended. Refer to your charger's manual for specific settings.
5. Begin charging. Monitor the battery and charger throughout the charging process. Disconnect immediately if you observe any swelling, heat, or unusual behavior.

Installation

Once charged, connect the battery to your compatible airsoft handgun or device. Ensure the connector is securely fastened. Refer to your device's manual for specific battery compartment access and installation instructions.

Operating Instructions

The FIRST SHOT LiPo battery provides stable power output, contributing to consistent performance in compatible airsoft handguns. Its lightweight design (approximately 24g per battery) helps maintain the balance of your device.

• Ensure the battery is fully charged before use for optimal performance.
• Connect the battery to your device's power input.
• Operate your device as per its own instruction manual.
• Avoid completely discharging the LiPo battery, as this can damage it. Most devices will show a noticeable drop in performance before critical discharge levels are reached.

Maintenance and Storage

• Cleaning: Keep the battery and its connectors clean and free from dust or debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
• Storage: For long-term storage, it is recommended to store LiPo batteries at a "storage charge" level (typically around 3.8V per cell). Do not store fully charged or fully discharged.
• Temperature: Store in a cool, dry environment, ideally between 10°C and 25°C (50°F and 77°F). Avoid extreme heat or cold.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the battery for any signs of damage, swelling, or leakage. Discontinue use immediately if any issues are observed.
