8. Charging Rechargeable Batteries
a) Charging the Drive Battery for the Vehicle
• A rechargeable drive battery is not included in the delivery and must be ordered separately. This enables you to
choose whether you want to use a low-cost beginner's rechargeable battery pack or a high-quality professional bat-
tery pack which has a higher capacity.
• The rechargeable drive battery is delivered uncharged and must be charged. Several complete discharge and
charge cycles are necessary before the drive battery delivers its maximum power.
Charging of a partially discharged LiPo rechargeable battery is not a problem. Previous discharge is usually not
required.
• High-quality rechargeable drive batteries not only have a higher capacity, which allows you to drive your model car
much longer, but also deliver a higher output voltage for extreme situations. This gives the motor more power and
results in better acceleration and higher speed.
• We recommend purchasing a high-quality charger. Such a charger usually has a quick-charging feature. For charg -
ing of multiple-cell LiPo rechargeable batteries, the charger must have a balancer.
• Rechargeable batteries heat up during charging/discharging (driving the vehicle). Wait until the rechargeable batter -
ies have reached room temperature before charging them. The same applies after the charging procedure. Do not
use the rechargeable battery in the vehicle until it has cooled down sufficiently after the charging process.
• Only use a charger suitable for the battery type used (e.g. LiPo).
b) Charging Rechargeable Batteries for the Transmitter
• The enclosed transmitter has no charge socket. Remove the inserted rechargeable batteries and charge them
externally.
• Use a suitable high-quality charger for individual cells.
