Important Shipping Information

• For orders shipping outside the USA, FedEx is the only available option that includes both detailed tracking and insurance.
• All delivery times are approximate. Carrier delays are beyond Offshore Electrics' control.
• Packages shipped within the USA are insured against loss, theft, and shipping damage during transit. Theft coverage ends once the carrier records the package as delivered at the destination. After delivery confirmation, the package becomes the customer's responsibility.
• For international orders, shipping insurance is optional but strongly recommended.
• Orders that qualify for free shipping will be shipped using the method we determine is most appropriate based on the size, weight, and destination of the package.
• Due to carrier size restrictions and shipping costs, oversized items shipped within the USA may be sent by UPS Ground, even if a USPS shipping option was selected at checkout.
• If you believe a package has been lost, please contact us at [email protected] and include your order number or tracking number. We will contact the carrier and begin a package trace.
• Before an insurance claim can be filed, we must wait 20 calendar days for domestic shipments or 40 calendar days for international shipments. Packages are often delayed rather than lost.
• The insurance company may require the recipient to complete a form confirming that the package was not delivered. Once the claim requirements have been completed, we can proceed with a replacement shipment when applicable.

LiPo Battery Safety

Lithium Polymer batteries can deliver extremely high amounts of energy and must be handled, charged, stored, and used properly.

By purchasing or using a Lithium Polymer battery from Offshore Electrics Inc., the buyer acknowledges that they have read and understood these safety precautions and accepts responsibility for the risks associated with the use of Lithium Polymer batteries.

If you do not agree with these conditions, do not use the battery. If the battery has already been purchased and remains unused and in its original condition, contact Offshore Electrics regarding return options.

General Lithium Polymer Safety Guidelines

1. Never use a NiCd or NiMH charger to charge a LiPo battery. Use only a charger specifically designed for Lithium Polymer batteries.
2. Inspect the battery before every charge and use. Do not charge or use a battery that shows signs of swelling, punctures, deformation, damaged wiring, or other physical damage.
3. Always charge LiPo batteries in a fire-resistant location or container, away from combustible materials. Do not charge batteries on wood, carpet, fabric, furniture, or other flammable surfaces.
4. Never charge a battery unattended. Remain nearby and observe the battery throughout the charging process.
5. If a battery begins to swell, balloon, smoke, become excessively hot, or behave abnormally:
   • Stop charging or using it immediately.
   • Disconnect it only if it is safe to do so.
   • Move away from the battery and keep people and combustible materials clear.
   • Follow appropriate battery safety and disposal procedures.
6. Never allow the positive and negative battery leads to touch. A short circuit can cause extreme heat, fire, battery damage, or injury.
7. After a crash, impact, or overheating event:
   • Disconnect the battery if it is safe to do so.
   • Place it in a safe, non-flammable area away from combustible materials.
   • Observe it from a safe distance for at least 30 minutes.
   • Do not reuse the battery if there are any signs of swelling, damage, overheating, leakage, or abnormal behavior.

When in doubt about the condition of a Lithium Polymer battery, do not charge or use it.
