Airsoft battery safety guide

An airsoft battery must be handled with great care. We have therefore created this guide so that you know how to handle your battery.

Any disturbance in the structure of a battery can lead to damage and ignition.
Positive and negative poles must not be connected together as this could cause permanent damage to the battery or lead to ignition.
One battery should neither be heated up nor exposed to low temperatures.
One battery must never be exposed to liquid.
A battery is susceptible to getting one mechanical damage. The mechanical damage can do permanent damage and result in it igniting.
One battery should be charged according to the instructions provided with the battery. The red colored wire (+) must be connected to the red colored wire (positive port) in the charger. The black colored wire (-) must be connected to the black colored wire (negative port) in the charger.
Each battery cell can be charged up to a value of 3.7V. This value must not be exceeded. Other charger settings may cause irreversible damage to the battery.
A battery charge should be carried out under constant supervision (even with high-quality batteries) on the non-flammable surface of non-conductive materials.
One battery should be charged with a charger that is suitable and compatible with batteries. Using an inappropriate charger can cause permanent damage to the battery.
Charging a battery to a value lower than 3V per cell can cause damage.
If a battery is used incorrectly, it can be permanently damaged or catch fire.
Should you get eye contact or skin contact with the electrolyte in a battery, you should immediately rinse the contaminated area with water and contact a doctor immediately.
When one battery charging is complete, the battery should be disconnected from the charger immediately.
If changes are detected in the battery (e.g. color, swelling, excessive temperature), the use of the battery is stopped.
One battery should be used so that no third parties have access to it.
Care must be taken when installing a battery. Any short circuit can cause the battery to ignite and in extreme situations explode.
A battery that has been mechanically damaged, overcharged or deeply discharged is considered unusable.
To keep a battery in good condition, it should be balanced during charging (a good charger has a built-in balance).
It might be good to acquire a charger that has a storage function that will either charge or discharge the battery until it reaches 3.7V per cell.
