1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your SSCYHT 6S 22.2V 3600mAh Lipo Battery. Please read these instructions carefully before using the product to ensure proper operation, maintenance, and longevity.
2. Safety Information and Warnings
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are powerful and can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in fire, personal injury, and property damage.
- Initial Charge: Lithium batteries are shipped in a half-charged state for safe transportation. Fully charge the battery after receiving it and before first use.
- Charging: Always use a compatible 25.2V 2A LiPo charger. Never leave charging batteries unattended. Charge on a non-flammable surface away from combustible materials.
- Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place (0℃ - 50℃) away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials. Do not store fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods. Store at a 'storage charge' level (typically 3.8V per cell).
- Handling: Do not puncture, drop, short-circuit, or disassemble the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to water or extreme temperatures.
- Damage: If the battery becomes damaged, swollen, or shows any signs of leakage, discontinue use immediately and dispose of it properly.
- Disposal: Dispose of LiPo batteries according to local regulations. Never dispose of them in household waste.

Image: The battery casing is made of grey PVC heat shrink tubing, offering low water permeability for enhanced durability.
Image: The battery incorporates multiple protection functions including equalization, voltage monitoring, over-charge, over-discharge, temperature, and short circuit protection.
4. Setup
Initial Charging:
- Upon receiving your battery, it will be in a partially charged state.
- Connect the battery's XT60 connector to your compatible 25.2V 2A LiPo charger.
- Connect the XH-6S balance port to the balance port on your charger.
- Initiate the charging process according to your charger's instructions. Ensure the charger is set for 6S LiPo batteries.
- Charge the battery fully. The typical charge time is 2-3 hours, but this may vary based on the charger and initial charge level.
5. Operating Instructions
Connecting the Battery:
- Ensure your device (e.g., RC drone, model airplane) is powered off before connecting the battery.
- Connect the XT60 connector of the battery to the corresponding XT60 port on your device. Ensure a secure connection.
- If your device requires a balance lead connection for monitoring, connect the XH-6S balance port to the appropriate input on your device's monitoring system.
- Power on your device and verify proper function.
Usage Guidelines:
- Monitor battery voltage during use. Do not discharge the battery below 3.0V per cell (18.0V for a 6S battery) to prevent irreversible damage. The integrated BMS will help prevent over-discharge.
- Avoid continuous high current draw that exceeds the battery's maximum constant discharge current of 15A.
- If the battery becomes excessively hot during use, discontinue operation and allow it to cool down before further use or charging.

6. Maintenance
Charging Practices:
- Always use a dedicated LiPo charger with balance charging capabilities.
- Never overcharge the battery beyond 4.2V per cell (25.2V for a 6S battery). The BMS provides over-charge protection.
- Allow the battery to cool down to ambient temperature before charging after use.
Storage:
- For long-term storage, charge or discharge the battery to a storage voltage of approximately 3.8V per cell (22.8V for a 6S battery).
- Store the battery in a fireproof LiPo bag or container in a cool, dry environment (0℃ - 50℃).
- Avoid storing batteries in direct sunlight or in vehicles where temperatures can fluctuate significantly.
Cleaning:
- Wipe the battery exterior with a dry, soft cloth if it becomes dirty.
- Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Battery not charging | Incorrect charger settings; faulty charger/cables; battery damage | Verify charger settings (6S LiPo); check connections; try a different charger/cable; if battery is swollen or damaged, discontinue use. |
| Short run time / Low power output | Battery not fully charged; battery degradation; high current draw | Ensure full charge; check battery age/cycle count; reduce load on the battery if possible. |
| Battery gets hot during use/charge | Over-discharge; over-current; internal damage; faulty charger | Stop use/charging immediately; allow to cool; check for damage; ensure proper charger settings and current limits. |
| Battery swollen | Over-charge; over-discharge; physical damage; internal cell failure | Discontinue use immediately. This is a serious safety hazard. Dispose of the battery safely according to local regulations. |
