THANK YOU

Thank you for purchasing the Venom Stronghold Solo battery-charging box. The

Stronghold was designed as a ﬁre containment-charging box to help protect

surrounding surfaces and property from damage or destruction as the result of a

catastrophic battery failure. This design is meant to help control the release of gases

and fumes in a safe manner if a failure occurs. It is not a guarantee against damage,

but is meant to greatly reduce damage to surfaces and property. Be responsible and

observe proper charging techniques.

The use of the Stronghold Solo does not eliminate the risks of a lithium polymer battery

ﬁre. Users should always follow the safety warnings, instructions and guidelines

provided by their battery and charger manufacturers in connection with this product.

1. Always use a charger speciﬁcally designed for the chemistry of the battery to be

charged. Never use NiCD or NiMH type chargers to charge LiPO batteries. Never

use a LiPO type charger to charge NiCD or NiMH batteries. Failure to do so will

damage the batteries and may cause ﬁre and personal injury. When charging

NiMH batteries, you must use a linear charger with peak detection. Do not use a

timer charger. Charge battery at no higher than a 1C charge rate. To calculate your

battery’s 1C charge rate, divide the battery capacity (mAh) by 1000.

Example: 3000mah ÷ 1000 = 3amps, 4200mah ÷ 1000 = 4.2amps, etc.

2. Do not charge batteries on or near wood, cloth, carpet, in your model, or on or near

any other ﬂammable material. Keep a chemical ﬁre extinguisher nearby incase of

ﬁre.

3. Never leave batteries unattended while charging. Always observe batteries when

charging so that you may react quickly to any problems that may occur.

4. If a battery is deformed, swollen or appears damaged, DO NOT CHARGE. Follow the

disposal instructions on pg. 3 to properly and safely dispose of the battery.

5. Any time you have an accident with your model or if the battery swells “balloons” or

if the battery exceeds temperature guidelines, follow these safety steps:

a. Immediately remove the battery pack from your model or charger.

b. Place the battery in a non-ﬂammable, well ventilated area.

c. Observe the battery for 30 minutes from a safe distance.

d. After 30 minutes, if the pack appears stable, is not swollen and does

not show any signs of damage, return the battery pack to normal

use with caution.

IMPORTANT (CONTINUED)

6. Do not let exposed battery wires touch each other. This may cause the

battery to short and potentially cause a ﬁre.

7. Store your batteries in a cool, dry place between 40-80 Fº / 4-26 Cº. LiPO

batteries must be stored at 3.75-3.80 volts per cell to maintain capacity and

pack life. Do not store fully charged for longer than one week to prevent

damage.

8. Do not assemble unmatched or dissimilar LiPO, NiCD, or NiMH cells.

9. Store battery packs out of the reach of children and pets.

LIPO DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Discharge battery pack to 2.5 Volts per cell or less.

2. Fill a bucket with enough water to submerge the battery pack completely.

3. Add salt to the water until no more salt will dissolve; the water is now

saturated with salt.

4. Place the battery pack in the bucket and leave submerged in the salt water

solution for 24 hours.

5. Remove the battery pack from the salt water and test the voltage.

6. If the voltage does not read 0.0 Volts, re-submerge and re-test until the

voltage reads 0.0 Volts.

7. Once the battery pack has been discharged to 0.0 Volts, it is safe to discard

in the trash.

NOTE FOR USE

The Stronghold Solo was designed to accommodate Lithium Polymer batteries

(LiPO) up to 60-Watt Hours. Batteries larger than 60 Wh will not be properly

contained due to the expansive volume of Lithium Batteries.

1) Set up your Stronghold Solo and battery charger on a non-ﬂammable surface away

from ﬂammable objects, chemicals, or other potentially hazardous materials.

2) Insert the charge lead and the 2-6S balance block, if applicable, through the power

lead hole in the Stronghold Solo. Power to the charger should be turned off during

this step to prevent the possibility of shorting the wires if metal connectors touch

the sides of the Stronghold Solo.

3) Turn On power to your charger.

4) Connect battery to the charge leads and place inside Stronghold Solo.

5) Close the lid to the Stronghold Solo and secure with the lid latch.

6) Start charge procedure of the battery. Do not leave batteries unattended while

charging. Consult the charging instructions that came with your battery.

WHAT TO DO IF A BATTERY DOES FAIL

1) Allow the battery to ﬁnish the failure completely before approaching the box. Fumes,

ﬂames and other chemicals are quite hazardous if inhaled or ingested. Be prepared

with a chemical ﬁre extinguisher to put out any remaining parts of the battery. Allow

everything to cool down before handling.

2) Remove all power to the charger that was in use.

3) Wearing rubber gloves and eye protection, remove the remains of the failed battery

from the Stronghold Solo. Dispose of them in a plastic bag and place them in the

trash.

4) The Stronghold Solo can be re-used. Battery residue and soot can be washed out

with ordinary soap and water.
