Important Safety Warnings

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are powerful and require careful handling. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, property damage, injury, or death. Always prioritize safety.

• Handle with Proper Care: Lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries are extremely volatile. Improper handling can result in fire, property damage, injury to self or others, and even death.
• Adult Supervision Required: Adult supervision is required at all times when charging a LiPo battery. Keep away from children and minors. Never leave a battery charging unattended. Always unplug the LiPo battery within one hour of charging completion.
• No Modification or Other Use: Do not modify, alter, or use the battery for any purpose other than its intended use in Airsoft guns. This battery is sold for Airsoft use only.
• Inspect Before Use: Inspect the LiPo battery before each use or charging. Immediately dispose of any battery that is visually damaged, deformed, rusted, wet, hot, or has exceeded its useful life (3 years since first use).
• Avoid Flammable Materials: Do not store or leave the device unattended by a flammable material. Unplug the charger immediately if your battery swells or is damaged. Charge only in the recommended temperature range of 40-90°F (5-32°C).
• Fire Hazard: LiPo batteries are an explosion and fire hazard. If the LiPo battery becomes damaged or bent, immediately unplug the device. With caution, place the battery into a fire-safe bag and in a fire-safe location. Monitor before disposal.
• Use Correct Charger: Do not charge a LiPo battery with NiMH/NiCD chargers or anything else not specifically designed for LiPo batteries. Exclusively use a LiPo balance charger for charging LiPo batteries.
• Proper Disposal: Batteries are considered hazardous waste and must be recycled or taken to a household hazardous waste disposal facility. It is illegal to trash LiPo batteries without proper disposal.
• Regular Recharging: Recharge your LiPo battery at least once every 6 months to prevent over-discharge. Store in a cool, flame-resistant, non-pressurized, low humidity container out of the sun.
• Discharge After Use: Always unplug the LiPo battery pack from your Airsoft gun when charging and when not in use. Never discharge LiPo battery packs with a discharger. Stop use of your AEG if the motor slows down - overuse of the battery may result in fire.

Setup and Installation

This Lancer Tactical LiPo battery is designed for use with Airsoft Electric Guns (AEGs) that are LiPo-ready and utilize a Dean (T-plug) connector.

1. Inspect the Battery: Before first use, carefully inspect the battery for any signs of damage (swelling, punctures, frayed wires, etc.). Do not use a damaged battery.
2. Prepare your AEG: Ensure your Airsoft gun is compatible with 11.1V LiPo batteries and has a Dean connector. If your AEG uses a different connector type, a compatible adapter may be required (not included).
3. Connect the Battery: Carefully connect the Dean connector from the battery to the corresponding Dean connector in your AEG. Ensure a firm and secure connection.
4. Secure the Battery: Place the battery securely within the designated battery compartment of your AEG (e.g., stock, handguard). The compact stick design is intended to fit into larger style stocks.

Operating Instructions

Once the battery is securely installed in your AEG, you can proceed with operation.

1. Power On: Turn on your Airsoft gun according to its specific instructions.
2. Monitor Performance: The 11.1V LiPo battery provides a quicker response rate compared to standard NiMH batteries.
3. Avoid Over-Discharge: Stop using the AEG immediately if the motor slows down or the rate of fire decreases significantly. Over-discharging a LiPo battery can permanently damage it and is not covered under warranty.
4. Disconnect After Use: Always disconnect the battery from the AEG after each use to prevent accidental discharge or damage.

Charging Instructions

Proper charging is critical for the longevity and safety of your LiPo battery.

• Use a LiPo Balance Charger ONLY: Exclusively use a LiPo balance charger designed for 3S (11.1V) LiPo batteries. Never use a NiMH battery charger or any other charger not specifically designed for LiPo batteries.
• Select Correct Battery Type: Ensure the correct battery type (LiPo 3S) is selected on your charger. Refrain from configuring it for nickel-hydrogen or other battery types.
• Connect to Charger: Connect the main Dean connector of the battery to the charger's output port. Also, connect the white balance plug (input port) to the corresponding balance port on your LiPo balance charger.
• Charge Safely: Always charge the battery in a fire-safe location, away from flammable materials, and on a non-combustible surface. Never leave a charging battery unattended.
• Avoid Overcharging: Do not overcharge the battery. Unplug the battery from the charger within one hour of charging completion. Overcharging can lead to battery damage or fire.
• Battery Will Not Charge at 0%: The battery will not charge if it reaches 0% discharge. This condition is not covered under warranty.

Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance and storage will extend the life of your LiPo battery.

• Regular Recharging: Recharge your LiPo battery at least once every 6 months to prevent over-discharge, even if not in use.
• Storage Conditions: Store the battery in a cool, flame-resistant, non-pressurized, low humidity container. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures.
• Disposal: When the battery reaches the end of its life or becomes damaged, dispose of it properly at a household hazardous waste disposal facility. Do not discard in regular trash.
