Airsoft battery safety guide

An airsoft battery needs to be handled with great care. That's why we've put together this guide so you know how to handle your battery.

Any disturbances in the structure of a battery can lead to damage and ignition.
Positive and negative poles should not be connected as it can cause permanent damage to the battery or lead to ignition.
A battery should neither be heated up nor exposed to low temperatures.
A battery must never be exposed to liquid.
A battery is prone to mechanical damage. The mechanical damage can cause permanent harm and result in it catching fire.
A battery should be charged according to the instructions provided with the battery. The red wire (+) should be connected to the red wire (positive port) on the charger. The black wire (-) should be connected to the black wire (negative port) on the charger.
Each battery cell can be charged up to a value of 3.7V. This value should not be exceeded. Other charger settings may cause irreversible damage to the battery.
Battery charging should be performed under constant supervision (even with high-quality batteries) on a non-flammable surface of non-conductive materials.
A battery should be charged with a charger that is suitable and compatible with batteries. Using an inappropriate charger can lead to permanent damage to the battery.
If you charge a battery to a value lower than 3V per cell, it can lead to damage.
If a battery is used incorrectly, it can be permanently damaged or catch fire.
If you get electrolyte from a battery in your eyes or on your skin, you should immediately rinse the contaminated area with water and contact a doctor immediately.
When a battery is fully charged, it should be disconnected from the charger immediately.
If changes in the battery are detected (f.eks color, swelling, high temperature), the use of the battery should be stopped.
A battery should be used in such a way 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 balancer).
It might be a good idea to acquire a charger that has a storage function which will either charge or discharge the battery until it reaches 3.7V per cell.
