Charging your 7.2v NiMH battery with a Trickle Charger
Always fully charge your battery before its first use. Batteries are
shipped partially charged and must be fully charged to achieve the
proper run time. Only 7.2v NiMH batteries can be charged using the
Trickle Charger.
After plugging the charger into a wall socket, insert the keyed
charger plug into the socket on the top of the battery by aligning the
raised yellow arrow with the yellow dot on the battery.
Charge time for a fully discharged battery is approximately 8-10
hours. The battery will become warm to the touch when fully
charged. For partially discharged batteries the charge time is
approximately proportional to the run time ( i.e. 1 hour run time
would require about a 5 hour charge). To prolong battery life, do not
leave battery attached to charger for more than 14 hours.
Hint:
A timer attached to the wall socket will help prevent
over charging the battery if left on the trickle charger.
Note:
NiMH batteries require approximately 5-10 charge
and discharge cycles to reach full capacity. Until the battery
reaches full capacity your run times may be less than stated.
The 7.2v trickle charger operates only on the specified wall
voltage and should be used to charge the 7.2v NiMH battery
pack only.
