3. Charging Time: Charging time may vary depending on the charger and the battery's initial charge level. Avoid overcharging the battery.
4. Battery Insertion: Once fully charged, disconnect the battery from the charger. Refer to your Sky Viper Drone's instruction manual for precise steps on how to safely insert the battery into the drone's battery compartment. Ensure the battery is securely seated before operation.

Important Safety Note:

• Never leave charging batteries unattended.
• Do not charge batteries on flammable surfaces.
• If the battery shows signs of swelling, leakage, or damage, discontinue use and dispose of it properly.

4. Operating Guidelines

This battery is designed to power your Sky Viper Drone. Proper operation of the drone itself should follow the drone's specific instruction manual. The following guidelines pertain to battery usage:

• Full Charge Before Use: Always ensure the battery is fully charged before operating your drone for optimal flight time and performance.
• Avoid Deep Discharge: Do not completely drain the battery during use. Stop drone operation when the drone's low battery warning activates or performance significantly decreases. Deep discharge can shorten battery lifespan.
