2. Instructions for handling and
charging a R 95 starter battery.
PLEASE NOTE: These instructions regarding
the handling of a R 95 starter battery are an
important part of Radne Motor’s delivery
of the R 95 kart engine. These instructions
contain information about handling of the
battery and the charging of the same. Before
you may use the NiMH battery it is impor -
tant that you read these instructions in their
entirety. If in the future you sell your R 95
engine together with its starter battery, then
you must ensure that the new owner receives
these instructions.
IMPORTANT! Radne Motor accepts no
responsibility whatsoever for damages to a R
95 engine that may occur if you use any other
battery than a R 95 original battery.
If you have previous experience of lead-acid
batteries then please be aware that NiMH
batteries are radically different from these. As
long as a NiMH battery is used correctly then
it is a very good and environmentally-friendly
source of power that is far superior to both
lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries. How -
ever, if a NiMH battery is not handled cor -
rectly and in accordance with these instruc -
tions, such incorrect handling may drastically
shorten the battery’s lifespan, or else cause
injury to people or damage to property.
Safety instructions for the use of the
battery and the charging of the battery:
1.
Read these instructions in their entirety be -
fore you begin to use the NiMH battery.
2.
The handling and care of the NiMH battery
should never be entrusted to children unless
there is a supervising adult in attendance.
3.
Always check that the NiMH battery is in good
condition every time before using it. If you
see that the battery is mechanically damaged,
or if it appears to have expanded in volume
or if electrolyte (a sticky gel-like substance)
has penetrated the battery, then you should
discard the battery immediately.
4.
A NiMH battery should not be thrown out
with household garbage but should be taken
for recycling in accordance with your local
guidelines regarding the management of
recyclable waste.
5.
A NiMH battery should never be shorted or
exposed to high levels of heat.
6.
A NiMH battery should never be overcharged.
That is why you should always use the Raket
original battery charger that automatically
stops charging when the battery has reached
its full capacity.
7.
A NiMH battery should not be discharged so
that the terminal voltage drops to below 11.0
volts. If you discharge the battery too deeply
then one of the battery’s cells may be dam -
aged in which case you will no longer be able
to recharge the battery to its full capacity.
8.
A NiMH battery should not be charged until
most of its capacity has been used up. At that
point the terminal voltage will have dropped
to 12.0 volts. In practical terms this means
that you can start your kart approx. 50 times
before you need to charge the battery. Try
to get into the habit of charging your battery
after you have started the kart 35 – 45 times.
9.
You should always charge the battery using
the original special charger that is supplied
with the delivery of a R 95 engine. The char -
ger is an intelligent-type charger which means
that it initially charges with a high current
until the battery reaches maximum capacity.
After that the charger switches over to trickle
charge mode. If you were to use a charger
that does not have this automatic function
then you would almost certainly “burn-out”
your battery because of overcharging.
10.
Never charge a battery that is warm. Let the
battery cool to normal room temperature
before you start to charge it again.
11.
The time required to charge a battery that
is typically discharged is 5 hours. When
the charger notices that the battery is fully
charged it switches to trickle charge mode.
12.
When charging the battery, the charger
should be connected to the charger plug that
is located on the battery box. If the battery is
to be charged once it has been removed from
the box then the charging process should
occur on an inflammable surface. Connect the
