1.  Rotate the cowl lock at the front.

2.  Remove the cowl. Be careful not to pull on the receiver antenna.

3.  Unplug the battery pack and 

remove it from the boat.

4.  Plug the charger into an automobile’s 12 volt power outlet. Once the 

charger is plugged in it will start to beep and the light on the front will 
begin to fl ash. Place the charger outside your automobile.

5.  Join the battery and charger 

connectors. The connectors are 
designed to only connect one way 
to prevent the battery from being 
hooked up backwards.

ACCESSING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

•  Do not charge the battery with the vehicle’s engine running.
•  Always place the battery and charger outside the vehicle 

when charging.

•  Charge only the Mini Thunder’s 6-cell 7.2 volt 1100mAh 

NiMH rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to charge other 
battery types, as damage may occur to the battery 
and charger.

• Do not allow water or foreign objects into the charger.

•  Do not cover the air intake vents on the charger as this can 

cause the charger to over heat and become damaged.

•  Do not leave the charger unattended while charging. 

Disconnect the battery immediately if the charger and/or 
battery become hot.

• Do not charge hot batteries.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
