Rechargeable Batteries

Note: There is one month limited warranty on rechargeable batteries within toys. If you claim the battery to be faulty within that time period, the battery will be inspected and if any user abuse, improper maintenance, or mis-use is found on the battery, the claim will be rejected.

The warranty on any rechargeable batteries is subject to the user following all safety and precautions listed on the included warning.

Note that is important NOT to completely discharge your LIPO or LIHV battery at any time OR leave your battery on full charge for more than a day - otherwise this can permanently damage your battery, and this is not covered under warranty.

Never drop, or damage your battery in anyway otherwise the battery may become a dangerous hazard.  If your battery becomes damaged, or swollen in any way, please dispose of the battery immediately in a safe manner.

IMPORTANT NOTE : NEVER leave batteries unattended while they are charging.  Our recommendation is to always charge and store batteries in a fireproof bag or container. Do not leave the battery charger on overnight, and turn off/remove power to chargers before going to bed.  Only use the correct original charger & cables supplied by the manufacturer and follow all reasonable standards while charging (ie. no double plugs or loose connections, direct connections to power outlets rather than multi-plugs).  Batteries should not be stored for more than a few days on full charge and batteries should not be fully drained out of charge.

Please take note of the age limitations on products and packaging and ensure these are followed at all times..  All children must be supervised while they are using toys as there are many risks including swallowing parts, injuries from moving parts and propellers, injuries related to loud noises or lights, injuries related to shooting parts, just to name a few.
