Battery Charging
The internal 18650 li-ion battery may be charged by simply connecting the puck to a USB power
source using a standard micro-B cable.
The maximum charge current is approx. 800mA, which results in a charge time of a little more than 3
hours.
For extended use, the 18650 may be easily swapped out and replaced with a fully charged pack.
WARNING: 18650 batteries can be extremely dangerous if mishandled. Keeping
unprotected batteries in your pocket, especially with other metallic objects, can result in an
explosion, and severe burns.
Always use a protective carrying case when transporting these cells.
WARNING:
To avoid damage when charging the 18650 battery via USB, be
extremely careful with battery polarity when inserting the cell. The spring terminal
must be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
When purchasing batteries, name-brand cells from reputable sources are highly recommended. Many
of the ‘budget’ cells available from online resellers may not be as safe as genuine cells.
Battery Life
The supplied 2600mAh cell should suffice for approx. 8 hours of racing. As the cell voltage reduces,
the gate will automatically turn off, after beeping to warn the user approx. 5 minutes before.
