• Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery.
• Inspect the battery for damage (swelling, punctures, frayed wires) before each use. Do not use damaged batteries.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Keep out of reach of children.

4. Setup (Charging)

Before first use, fully charge the battery. Always use a compatible LiPo charger.

1. Connect the Battery: Plug the battery's balance lead (white connector) into the balance port of your LiPo charger. If using a charger with a main discharge lead, also connect the main power connector (red JST or similar) to the charger's output.
2. Set Charger Parameters: Ensure your charger is set to charge a 2S (7.4V) LiPo battery at a charge rate appropriate for a 380mAh battery (e.g., 0.38A for 1C charge rate).
3. Start Charging: Initiate the charging process according to your charger's instructions. Monitor the battery and charger throughout the charging cycle.
4. Charging Status: The charger will typically indicate when charging is complete. Disconnect the battery once fully charged.

5. Operating (Installation)

Follow these steps to install the battery in your FMS FCX24 1/24 RC car:

1. Access Battery Compartment: Locate and open the battery compartment on your RC car. Refer to your RC car's manual for specific instructions if needed.
2. Insert Battery: Carefully place the 7.4V 380mAh Lipo battery into the compartment, ensuring a snug fit without forcing it.
3. Connect Power: Connect the battery's main power connector (JST or similar) to the corresponding connector on your RC car's electronic speed controller (ESC). Ensure the connection is secure.
4. Secure Compartment: Close and secure the battery compartment.
5. Power On: Turn on your RC car and remote control according to their respective manuals.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life and performance of your LiPo battery:

• Storage Voltage: For long-term storage, charge or discharge the battery to its storage voltage (typically 3.8V per cell).
• Temperature: Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat or cold. Store at room temperature.
• Physical Inspection: Regularly check for any physical damage, swelling, or leaks. Discontinue use immediately if any damage is observed.
• Disposal: Dispose of damaged or old LiPo batteries responsibly at designated recycling centers. Never throw them in regular trash or incinerate them.

7. Troubleshooting

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

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charger is properly connected and powered.
  • Verify charger settings match the battery type (2S LiPo, 7.4V).
  • Check for any damage to the battery or charging cables.
• Short Run Time:
  • Battery may not be fully charged.
  • Battery may be old or damaged (e.g., internal resistance increased).
  • High power draw from the RC car (e.g., continuous full throttle, heavy terrain).
• Battery Swelling:

  Immediately discontinue use and safely dispose of any swollen battery. This indicates internal damage and a potential fire hazard.
