Associated hazards and risks

Deep discharge (< ~3.0 V/cell): may lead to irreversible damage to the battery and loss of performance.

Overcharge (> ~4.2 V/cell): risk of swelling, fire or explosion.

Current above 40 C rating (52 A burst): use at currents higher than those specified may lead to overheating and damage.

Impacts, punctures or mechanical deformation: may compromise the structure of the battery and cause an internal short circuit.

Extreme temperatures:

Above ~60 °C → risk of explosion or fire;

Below 0 °C → reduced performance and risk of damage if the battery is charged when cold.

Unattended charging: if you are not careful, a fire can break out; it is recommended to charge under supervision and, ideally, in a fireproof bag.

Improper storage: the battery is left connected when not in use, or completely discharged, or stored at inappropriate temperatures – all of which shorten the life and increase the risk.

Safety recommendations

Use Li-Po chargers with a balancing function to keep each cell at equal voltage.

Disconnect the battery from the replica immediately after use to avoid parasitic consumption.

Charge the battery under supervision and in a fireproof bag, on a non-flammable surface.

Store it at storage voltage (~3.8 V per cell) if you won't be using it for a few days, in a cool, dry place.

Inspect the battery periodically: if you notice swelling, deformation, overheating, unusual odor, or other signs of deterioration, stop using it.
