same, to ensure that the batteries are fully charged before the next time they
are used. As a rule the most discharged set of batteries should be charged
overnight. During the operating season there should always be one set of
batteries in the charger.
Use
When fitting and removing the batteries handle them with care. Avoid
dropping them into the model or onto the floor. Dropping the battery will cause
the plates to deform with the result that some cells will become useless. Do
not allow the model to be used with discharged batteries. Customer
satisfaction will be reduced as will the battery life. Change the battery or
remove the model from service as soon as the boat speed is visibly reduced.
Do not part charge and re-use the batteries as this will lead to premature
failure.
Storage
If the unit is to be removed from service the correct storage of the batteries is
vital. As soon as the batteries are removed from service they should be
charged for 24hours. They should then be stored in a FROST-FREE place
and be charged for 24hours each month of storage.
Caution!
Failure to follow these instructions will result in permanent damage to the
batteries.
