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.
Summary
1. Only use the chargers supplied.
2. Charge the batteries at the end of each operating period.
3. Do not allow repeated undercharging.
4. Remove batteries from service before they are completely discharged and recharge immediately.
5. Charge for 24 hours before storage and recharge for 24 hours for each month of storage.
6. Store in a FROST-FREE place.
7. Handle the batteries with care.
8. Keep the terminals clean.

The batteries are expensive. It pays to look after them!
