When charging or discharging FlightPower and Thunder Power brand LiPos between 3-6 amps through the Equinox LiPo Cell
Balancer from ElectriFly, it’s necessary to use these high power adapters. Adapters are available for batteries configured as
2S, 3S, 4S, and 5S packs. Please read all instructions thoroughly before use.

• NEVER attempt to charge or discharge a battery through Equinox or the high power adapters at more than 6 amps,
as permanent damage will result.
• NEVER cut or attempt to modify the wiring of any adapter. Failure to do so might result in erratic or a short-circuit
condition which could cause permanent damage to all equipment.
Never attempt to care for lithium-polymer (LiPo) cells in the same way as other battery types! LiPo characteristics differ
greatly from NiCd and NiMH batteries and therefore require different care and handling. Always read the instructions that are
included with your lithium batteries and lithium charger carefully before use. Failure to follow these care and handling
instructions can quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the batteries and its surroundings and even start a FIRE!
• IMPORTANT!! CHARGING AT MORE THAN 3 AMPS IS RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR LIPO BATTERIES WITH A
RATED CAPACITY OF MORE THAN 3000MAH. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MAXIMUM CHARGE CURRENT
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM YOUR BATTERY SUPPLIER, WHICH SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN THE
BATTERY’S 1C RATING. NEVER CHARGE LIPO PACKS AT CURRENTS EXCEEDING THEIR MAXIMUM
CHARGE CURRENT RATING.
• ALWAYS charge lithium batteries in a fireproof location, which could be a container made of metal or ceramic tile.
Monitor the area with a smoke or fire alarm, and have a lithium approved “ABC type” fire extinguisher available at all
times. NEVER charge lithium batteries on a combustible surface, such as paper, carpet, leather, a wooden or plastic
surface, inside an R/C model or full sized automobile.
• NEVER leave lithium batteries unattended during charge!
• ALWAYS provide adequate ventilation around LiPo batteries during charge, discharge, while in use, and during storage.
• NEVER allow LiPo cells to overheat at any time, as they can and usually will become physically damaged and could
possibly EXPLODE or catch FIRE!! If a battery becomes overheated, disconnect it from the charger IMMEDIATELY!
• NEVER continue to charge LiPo batteries if the charger fails to recognize full charge. Swelling of LiPo cells is an
indication that they are in an overcharge condition and they should be disconnected from the charger immediately.
• NEVER set the charger’s LiPo battery voltage to greater than the nominal rating of the LiPo battery, as such cells
cannot handle overcharging in any way.
• NEVER discharge LiPo batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the battery, as this can often
cause a cell to overheat.
• NEVER allow LiPo cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time.
• NEVER allow the internal electrolyte from LiPo batteries to get in the eyes or on skin – wash affected areas immediately
if they come in contact with the electrolyte and contact your physician!
• ALWAYS store LiPo cells/packs in a secure location away from children.
