Battery Notice & Disposal
Batteries and accumulators are not toys and should only be handled by adults. Never mix different types of batteries (rechargeable/non-rechargeable, full/empty, different capacities). Do not attempt to charge dry batteries. Always observe correct polarity.
Defective batteries must be disposed of as special waste. Never charge batteries unattended.
Li-Ion Battery Safety: Read all safety instructions before use. Stop charging or using immediately if the battery leaks, exceeds 70°C, or shows any unusual behavior. Use only qualified Li-Po/Li-Ion chargers. Do not charge if voltage exceeds 4.2V/cell or with a charging current above 2C. Unqualified chargers can cause fires. Do not discharge beyond the maximum discharge current to prevent overheating, bursting, fire, or explosion. Never disassemble, puncture, drop, short-circuit, or throw batteries into fire. Keep batteries away from children.
