USER MANUAL
ANTIX LIPO PACKS
Dear customer,
thank you for your trust in this ANTIX by LRP product. By purchasing this battery, you
have chosen a premium battery for your RC model. Please read the following instruc-
tions to ensure, that your battery always works up to your full satisfaction. This user
manual shall be kept in a safe place. If another customer is using this product, this
manual has to be handed out together with it.
CONNECTIONS
Most of the ANTIX by LRP batteries are already equipped with a ready-to-use power
connector. Those power connectors have to be used for charging the LiPo and for any
application inside the model.
All ANTIX by LRP batteries feature a XH-balancer-connector. This connector is used for
equalizing the voltage of the individual cells inside a battery pack. Never cut or remove
this connector under any circumstances.
Chargers use this balancing port to perfectly condition and equalize the individual cells
inside the pack. For perfect charging and conditioning of the batteries, we recommend
the Quadra Competition V1 charger from LRP electronic (LRP No. 41420).
ATTENTION: The Balancing-port shall not be used for the standard use in the model/
device. Only use the power connectors to power your model/device.

CHARGING
All ANTIX by LRP batteries can be charged with a maximum current of 3C*. For
charging, only use chargers, which are specially designed and developed for LiPo-bat-
teries.
For charging the ANTIX by LRP batteries, we recommend the Quadra Competition V1
charger from LRP electronic (LRP No. 41420).
ATTENTION: Under no circumstances use NiMH/NiCd-chargers or chargers, that are
set to NiMH/NiCd mode, for charging LiPo-batteries!
ATTENTION: If the battery heats up during charging or warps, immediately stop
charging it.
ATTENTION: A Balancer which monitors the voltage of each single cell is mandatory
during the charge of LiPo batteries.
You can see the maximum charging voltage in the table below. We advise the following
settings for charging our ANTIX by LRP batteries:
Cell configuration
ANTIX by LRP LiPo - 2S - 7.4V
ANTIX by LRP LiPo - 3S - 11.1V
ANTIX by LRP LiPo - 4S - 14.8V
ANTIX by LRP LiPo - 5S – 18.5V
ANTIX by LRP LiPo - 6S – 22.2V
* C = Nominal capacity of the battery. E.g. with a nominal capacity of 4500mAh (4.5Ah),
the battery can be charged with a max. current of 13.5A.
DISCHARGING
When discharging your LiPo battery with high current, please make sure the LiPo packs
is cooled properly.
ATTENTION: The max. temperature of the LiPo-battery during discharge must never
Disposal note: Damaged packs or packs, which can no longer be used are hazardous waste and have to be disposed of accordingly.
The crossed-out wheeled bin means that within the European Union the product must be taken to separate collection at product end-of life. Do not dispose these products as unsorted municipal waste.

You have to take care, that the batteries do not get deep discharged. As soon as the
battery voltage falls below 3.3V per single cell, the battery pack gets damaged irrevoca-
bly. 2S = 6.6V; 3S = 9.9V; 4S = 13.2V; 5S = 16.5V; 6S = 19.8V. The battery voltage
should never fall below these discharge cut-off voltages. If your speed control does
not have a special undervoltage protection for LiPo-batteries, you have to stop your
model early enough in order not to deep discharge the battery pack. Therefore stop
immediately as soon as you feel a rapid loss in power.
NOTE: If the batteries do swell or get thick after discharging them, it is a sign of over-
load and/or deep-discharge. The battery pack gets damaged due to this and the max.
performance will drop. You should stop using a LiPo pack which is significantly bal-
looned and you should neither charge it nor use it inside your model. SWOLLEN BAT-
TERY PACKS ARE NOT A PRODUCT FAULT AND THEREFORE EXCLUDED FROM THE
LIMITED WARRANTY.
STORAGE
For a storage over a longer period of time, we recommend to charge the battery up to
50% of the nominal capacity. Therefore fully discharge the battery pack and then parti-
ally charge it with a charge current of 1C for 30 minutes or charge it up to a voltage of
3.85-3.90V/cell. In this condition, the battery can be stored at 25°C room temperature.
ATTENTION: NEVER STORE THE BATTERY COMPLETELY EMPTY OR FULLY CHAR-
GED. Both will harm the battery and lead to swollen battery cells.
SPECIAL NOTES FOR HANDLING
• Avoid short-circuits! Short-circuiting the battery results in very high currents, which
damage the internal structure of a LiPo-battery. This leads to a loss of power and
capacity.
• Never charge LiPo batteries without a balancer. Charging without a balancer can
damage the battery. Please note, that your limited warranty will void if you charge
without balancer.
• Please take special care that no sharp objects like knifes, tools, carbon fibre edges or
similar items can damage the hardcase and the cells within it.
• When securing the LiPo-battery inside your model/device, you have to take care that
the LiPo-battery does not get damaged or warped in case of a crash. Therfore pay
special attention that the LiPo-battery does not get damaged or warped by letting it
fall down, hitting it, bending it or by similar actions.
• Never charge several LiPo-battery packs at once with one charger. The different
capacities and charge levels can lead to serious overcharging of the battery, even if
you are using a charger with LiPo capabilities.
• Damaged packs cannot be used any longer. If the packs show signs of damage, are
bent or similar, do not use the packs anymore.
• The chemical reaction during charging and discharging a LiPo-battery is not fully
reversible. Due to that, LiPo-batteries loose capacity during their life-span. This is
normal and neither a manufacturing nor production fault.
• LiPo batteries shall only be charged at a temperature between 0-45°C. If this will not
be observed, the cycle life of the battery will be reduced drastically.
• A voltage below 3.3V per cell without load is in either case harmful for a LiPo battery.
Therefore always avoid voltages below 3.3V per cell.
• It is not visible from the outside when a LiPo battery gets overcharged. The only
way to find this out is to measure the voltage of the LiPo battery. The battery does
not heat up nor does it swell when it gets overcharged. Therefore always check the
battery voltage during charging. If it exceeds the max. charging voltage stop the
charging process immediately and check all settings.
• We recommend to stop discharging a Lipo battery if the remaining capacity reaches
30% of the nominal capacity. With this, LiPo batteries will have the max. possible cy-
cle life. Real-Life application showed, that the cycle life of LiPo batteries is reduced if
the battery always gets completely discharged. This phenomenon can be seen with
all types of LiPo batteries.
