BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE
RUNNING AND CHARGING TIME
BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
• Regularly examine charger and battery pack for leaking, corrosion, damage, including plugs, casings and all
other parts. If damaged, do not use.
• Do not short-circuit the charger.
• Do not charge batteries with a charger other than the included one.
• Do not charge batteries other than the included NiMH battery pack with the charger and do not use the
charger as the power source for other equipment.
• Do not charge batteries in a place within the reach of small children.
• Do not short-circuit battery terminals, otherwise the battery may swell and get hot, leading to a dangerous
situation.
• Do not use, store or charge batteries in a place near a heater or in high temperature or in humid or damp
situations.
• Vehicle will not run without a 9,6V rechargeable NiMH battery pack and matching charger, commonly available
for R/C vehicles at many toy and hobby dealers. Always follow the instructions that come with your battery
pack and charger.
• Toy must only be used with recommended transformer/charger.
• NiMH battery packs are not like alkaline batteries. They lose all their power suddenly, not gradually, and the
vehicle will stop very soon after slowing down becomes noticeable, with little warning. This is normal, but
keep it in mind, since you need to get the vehicle back before the battery power runs out.
• Battery pack running times depend on the conditions you operate in. Running time may vary over the life of
the battery pack, with the first few charge cycles yielding shorter run times than later charges.
Drain Down-Cool Down-Charge Up
1. After the first charge, for best performance always run the battery pack fully empty before recharging. Run
until vehicle wheels/rotors/propellers/motors slow to stop.
2. Allow the battery pack to cool before recharging.
Battery Pack Heat
1. Battery pack gets hot after use! This is normal, but be careful. Wait until battery pack is cool (20 minutes or
more if needed) before charging. Charging battery packs when they are hot will severely reduce the number
of times they can be recharged.
2. After charging, battery pack will be warm. This is normal.
NOTE: NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE BATTERIES MUST BE RECYCLED OR
DISPOSED PROPERLY. Contact your local area office of solid waste
management or other appropriate local agency for information.
WARNING: THE TRANSFORMER / CHARGER IS NOT A TOY.
NOTE:
"CONDITION" BATTERY PACK FOR BEST RESULTS BY CHARGING ACCORDING TO THESE
INSTRUCTIONS ON EVERY CHARGE. ON THE FIRST CHARGE, EXPECT A SHORTER RUN TIME.
RUN TIMES WILL INCREASE OVER THE NEXT 6 CHARGES.
