8. Charging the Battery
The rechargeable mignon batteries required for the RC system are, in general, empty on delivery and must be charged.
Please note:
Before the rechargeable battery delivers its maximum power, several complete discharge and charge
cycles are necessary.
Always discharge the rechargeable NiCd batteries at regular intervals, since charging a “half-full”
rechargeable battery several times can cause a so called memory effect. This means that the
rechargeable battery looses its capacity. It no longer releases all of its saved energy, drive time of the
model and the transmitter is decreased.
If you use several rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality charger may be worthwhile. They
are normally also suitably for fast charging of accumulators.
Rechargeable batteries inserted in the transmitter can be charged there directly. For this purpose, the
remote control features a charging port for a standard charge cable. However, do not connect any quick
chargers. Otherwise the rechargeable batteries become too hot, which may damage the transmitter.
Observe the imprint next to the charge port for voltage, polarity and maximum charge current (see
chapter 10.b).
