What is the danger
The product poses a risk of fire and burns because during charging the battery temperature quickly rose from 25ºC (ambient temperature) to 146ºC in 10 minutes. Approximately 10 minutes after charging began, one of the cells of the internal battery of the aircraft exploded (the internal battery consists of 5 cells). The temperature at that time was 146ºC. The plastic covering the batteries was partially destroyed due to the high temperature reached by the battery during charging in accordance with instructions in the user manual.
