❓ What safety precautions should I follow when charging drone batteries?

Follow these essential safety guidelines when charging drone batteries:

• Use only manufacturer-approved chargers and charging cables
• Monitor the charging process - never leave batteries unattended
• Charge on a fire-resistant surface away from flammable materials
• Maintain proper temperature range (60-80°F/15-27°C)
• Never charge damaged or swollen batteries

The FAA guidelines recommend using a LiPo safety bag during charging and transport. Always inspect batteries for damage before charging and wait 30 minutes after flight before charging. If you notice any unusual heat, smell, or noise during charging, disconnect immediately and dispose of the battery properly.
