TIPS FOR LIPO BATTERY
(“LIPO”) CARE:
DON’T
1. Don’t short circuits, expose in fire/high temperature,
dismantle, modify or any misuse;
2. Don’t over discharge to low voltage below its norm at
3.7v/cell where damages may be extended as long as reaching the cut-off point (i.e., dead-zone at below 2.75v/cell);
3. Don’t discharge with drawing current over the LIPO’s
specification and over drawing current would seriously shorten the LIPO cycle-life and/or cause danger while over-heating.
4. Don’t over-heat (over 70’C surface temperature)
the battery when discharge, it would shorten LIPO cycle-life substantially (use higher “C” / higher capacity/
lower impedance LIPO to avoid over-heating or swelling problem);
5. Don’t keep the LIPO at low voltage (at below 50% capacity/
3.6V per cell) for a long period. LIPO voltage may deplete over storage period and become unstable or cause internal damages
otherwise. Safe storage range per cell would be 3.6V- 4.0V at all time.
6. Don’t store the LIPO near any electrical appliances
such as TV/ Fridge/ Hi-Fi/ Microwave/ Cooker etc. to avoid any damages it may cause to the LIPO in whichever manner;
7. Don’t continue to use the LIPO when any leaking/ mishap/
damage on cell packing occurs.
DO
1. Do initialize/activate the LIPO (when new) by charging at
(< 1C) & discharging (at about 50-60% of LIPO discharge specification)
for at least 5 cycles before normal application in order to optimize LIPO performance.
2. Do use the specialized LIPO charger with charge current <=
1C (pls also check the user guide/ instruction of the relevant charger for utmost care);
3. Do discharge the LIPO near to the norm for a complete discharge
cycle and recharge the LIPO soonest after temperature settlement under normal discharge (i.e., above the norm at 3.7v/cell);
4. Do store the LIPO at charged condition within cool room temperature
and at all time about 50% capacity or 3.6V-4.0V per cell if for a long period;
5. Do monitor and stabilize/balance per cell voltage to maximize
the LIPO performance and cycle-life (when charge/discharge in multi-cell pack).
6. Do use/store/dispose the LIPO with utmost care & caution
at all times;
7. Do fully discharge the LIPO before disposal & dispose
in an appropriate Environmental Care Collection Area;
