2. Informació de seguretat
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries require careful handling and adherence to safety guidelines to prevent damage, fire, or injury. Always read and understand all safety instructions before using this product.
- Càrrega: Use only a compatible LiPo charger, such as a Traxxas iD-Equipped LiPo charger, and always use a balance charge setting. Never leave charging batteries unattended.
- Emmagatzematge: Store LiPo batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and flammable materials. Do not store fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods.
- Manipulació: Do not puncture, disassemble, short-circuit, or expose the battery to extreme temperatures. Avoid physical impact or dropping the battery.
- Danys: If the battery shows signs of swelling, leaking, or damage, discontinue use immediately and dispose of it properly according to local regulations.
- Eliminació: LiPo batteries must be disposed of responsibly. Consult local regulations for proper disposal methods.
- Edat recomanada: This product is recommended for users 14 years and up. Adult supervision is advised for younger users.
3. Configuració
Before first use, ensure your Traxxas 2857X LiPo battery is properly charged and connected to your compatible Traxxas model.
3.1 Càrrega inicial
- Connect the Traxxas High-Current connector of the battery to a compatible Traxxas iD-Equipped LiPo charger.
- Ensure the balance lead is also connected to the charger, if applicable (Traxxas iD connectors integrate balance leads).
- Select the appropriate LiPo charging mode and current settings on your charger. Refer to your charger's manual for specific instructions.
- Initiate the charging process. Monitor the battery during charging.

4. Instruccions de funcionament
4.1 Connecting to Your Model
- Carefully insert the fully charged Traxxas 2857X LiPo battery into the battery compartment of your compatible Traxxas RC vehicle. Ensure a secure fit to prevent movement during operation.
- Connect the Traxxas High-Current connector from the battery to the corresponding port on your vehicle's Electronic Speed Control (ESC). The reverse-polarity protection of the connector prevents incorrect connection.

4.2 Discharging and Usage
- Operate your RC vehicle as intended. Monitor battery performance and stop use if you notice a significant drop in power or any unusual behavior.
- Avoid over-discharging the LiPo battery. Most modern ESCs have a low-voltage cutoff feature for LiPo batteries to prevent damage. Ensure this feature is enabled and correctly set for 3-cell LiPo batteries.
- After use, allow the battery to cool down before recharging or storing.
4.3 Understanding Battery Voltage
Monitoring your LiPo battery's voltage is crucial for its longevity and safety. Each cell in a 3-cell LiPo battery should ideally be around 3.7V (nominal) and fully charged to 4.2V. Do not discharge below 3.0V per cell.

5. Manteniment i emmagatzematge
- Neteja: Keep battery connectors clean and free from dirt or debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the battery exterior.
- Temperatura d'emmagatzematge: Store batteries at room temperature (approximately 20-25°C or 68-77°F). Avoid extreme heat or cold.
- Emmagatzematge a llarg termini: For storage longer than a few days, charge or discharge the battery to a 'storage voltage' of approximately 3.8V per cell. This helps preserve battery life.
- Inspecció física: Regularly inspect the battery for any signs of damage, such as swelling, punctures, or frayed wires. Discontinue use if any damage is observed.
6. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| La bateria no es carrega | Incorrect charger settings, faulty charger, damaged battery, poor connection. | Verify charger settings (LiPo mode, cell count, current). Check all connections. Inspect battery for damage. Try a different charger if available. |
| Temps d'execució curt | Battery not fully charged, aging battery, over-discharging, high current draw from vehicle. | Ensure full charge. Check battery health (internal resistance). Avoid excessive throttle. Consider battery replacement if performance degrades significantly. |
| Battery swelling/puffing | Overcharging, over-discharging, physical damage, manufacturing defect. | Immediately discontinue use and safely dispose of the battery. Swelling indicates internal damage and a fire risk. |
| El vehicle no s'encén | Bateria no connectada, baix volum de bateriatage, faulty ESC/vehicle component. | Check battery connection. Ensure battery is charged. Test with another known-good battery. Consult vehicle manual for ESC troubleshooting. |
6.1 Internal Resistance
Internal resistance is an indicator of a LiPo battery's health. A higher internal resistance can lead to reduced performance and increased heat generation. While the battery cell itself has a low internal resistance, adding wires and connectors will naturally increase the overall resistance. This is normal. New batteries typically show lower internal resistance, which may slightly decline after 3-5 charge/discharge cycles as the battery breaks in.
