Safety Tips for Charging LiPo Batteries

• Always use a LiPo-compatible charger like the iMAX B6AC Smart Balance Charger.
• Charge batteries on a non-flammable surface or inside a LiPo safety bag.
• Never leave batteries unattended while charging.
• Stop charging immediately if you notice swelling, heat, smoke, or odor.
• Use balance charging mode to ensure equal voltage across all cells.
• Do not overcharge — each cell should not exceed 4.2V.
• Avoid charging damaged, swollen, or punctured batteries.
• Set the charging current to 1C or lower (e.g., 2.2A for a 2200mAh battery).
• Charge only at room temperature and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Store charged batteries at 3.7–3.8V per cell in a LiPo-safe bag or metal box.
