HANDLING OF THE NiMH BATTERY PACK
Dispose of battery properly. The durability of NiMH
battery packs depends on the kind of use and
current consumption. If a steady high current is
consumed e.g. during fast flying with high rpm,
about 250 charge / discharge cycles are possible.
A reduction in capacity will also be noticed sooner.
A worn out (only very low capacity) or damaged
battery pack (wrapper damaged, worn cable) has
to be disposed of at special disposal sites and
must not be included with normal household
rubbish.
