Battery And Rechargeable Battery Notes - Reely NEW2 Bedienungsanleitung

The drive battery in the vehicle is not only used for supplying the engine though the speed controller.
The speed controller also generates the voltage/current required for operating the receiver and the
steering servo.
For this, the speed controller has an integrated BEC ("Battery Eliminator Circuit"; electronic circuit for
direct voltage supply of the receiver without additional receiver battery).
If the voltage in the drive battery is too low, the voltage at the receiver may also drop, causing the vehicle
to no longer respond to the control commands at the transmitter.
In this case, stop driving at once (switch off speed controller, disconnect drive battery from vehicle,
switch off transmitter). Then replace the vehicle drive battery or recharge the drive battery.
• The motor and drive as well as speed controller and drive battery of the vehicle get hot during operation.
Wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before exchanging the rechargeable battery.
• Let the drive battery cool down completely before charging it.
• Do not touch the motor, the speed controller or the rechargeable battery until they have cooled down.
Danger of burns!
• If you operate the vehicle with a LiPo drive battery, the undervoltage recognition must be activated (we
recommend 3.0 V/cell or higher).
With the undervoltage recognition deactivated, the LiPo battery will suffer deep discharge and be
destroyed. Loss of guarantee/warranty!
At operation with an NiMH drive battery, the undervoltage recognition should be switched off to better
use the capacity of the NiMH battery. Terminate operation here if the vehicle slows down. Alternatively,
the undervoltage recognition can be set to a lower value than with LiPo batteries. For this purpose, see
chapter 10. b).

7. Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes

Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today,
there are many dangers and problems. In particular in LiPo batteries with high energy content (as
compared to conventional NiMH batteries), various provisions must be complied with to avoid
danger of explosion and fire.
Therefore, always observe the following information and safety notes in handling of batteries and
rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being
swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There
is a danger of explosion!
• If you do not use it for any extended period of time (e.g. during storage), remove the batteries/recharge-
able batteries inserted in the transmitter to prevent damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable bat-
teries. Disconnect the drive battery from the speed controller completely and take it out of the vehicle.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin at contact; there-
fore, use suitable protective gloves.
