Disclaimer
Before using the HOVERAir X1 PRO/PROMAX PowerCase, read the User Manual carefully. Understanding and following instructions helps prevent harm and product damage.
By using this product, you agree to the terms and conditions. You take full responsibility for product use and outcomes. Zero Zero Technology is not responsible for damage, injury, or legal issues from improper use.
Battery Safety Instructions
Before charging and using the battery, please read this "HOVERAir X1 Pro/HOVERAir XI Pro Max Battery Safety Manual" carefully and follow the instructions strictly.
Disclaimer: Shenzhen Zero Zero Infinity Technology Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any accidents caused by using the battery under conditions beyond those specified in this manual.
Warning
- Lithium batteries contain highly reactive chemicals. Improper use (e.g., exposure to water, high temperatures, or physical damage) can cause fires, property damage, or personal injury.
- The liquid inside the battery is highly corrosive. In case of leakage, avoid contact. If the liquid contacts skin or eyes, rinse immediately with water and seek medical attention.
- Never leave the battery in a vehicle, especially if exposed to direct sunlight.
- Do not expose the battery or the flying camera with the battery to high-temperature environments or hot objects (e.g., barbecue grills, microwaves, gas stoves, campfires, or recently used lighters).
- Prevent the battery from coming into contact with any liquids. Do not use the battery in rain or humid environments. Water exposure can cause short circuits, circuit damage, or malfunctions, resulting in fire or explosion.
- The battery is temperature-sensitive. Always use and store it within the specified temperature range for safety and optimal performance.
Pre-Charging Inspection
- Inspect the charging port for liquids, debris, or foreign objects. Check for signs of corrosion, damage, or if the battery is excessively hot.
- Inspect the battery's exterior. Do not charge if you notice damage, swelling, or leakage.
- Regularly inspect the charging cable and battery's exterior. Do not use damaged charging cables.
- Only use batteries and charging equipment provided by Zero Zero Technology. Issues from non-official equipment are the user's responsibility.
Charging Precautions
- Do not charge the battery immediately after a flight if it is still hot, as this reduces lifespan and activates high-temperature protection, leading to extended charging times.
- If the battery is very low, charge it within the permissible temperature range. Delaying charging a low battery can result in over-discharge and damage.
- After flight, remove the battery and place it in a well-ventilated area (not in bags or pockets, which hinder heat dissipation). Charge once it has cooled to the permissible temperature range.
- Do not charge the battery near flammable or combustible materials.
- Monitor the battery's condition during charging to prevent accidents.
- In case of fire, cut off all power sources. Submerge the burning battery in water or move it to an area free of flammable materials and douse it with water.
- The battery supports charging within 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F). Charging is longer at lower temperatures (5°C-15°C) and shorter at normal temperatures (15°C-40°C), extending lifespan.
Storage and Transportation
- Do not store batteries in environments with seawater, moisture, leakage, sand, dust, or dirt.
- Avoid proximity to flammable or explosive materials, heat sources, and direct sunlight.
- Battery storage conditions:
- Recommended state of charge: 40%-60%.
- Recommended storage temperature: 15°C-25°C.
- Humidity: 45%RH-75%RH.
- If batteries are stored for more than two months, recharge them every two months to maintain cell activity.
- If the battery is severely depleted and remains idle for an extended period, it will enter sleep mode and require recharging to activate.
