• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries in the transmitter. Never mix fully
charged batteries/rechargeable batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or re-
chargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• A battery charger corresponding to battery technology (NiMH, LiPo....) is required. Never leave, e.g.,
LiPo batteries unattended in an NiMH charger! There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• A suitable balancer is required for charging multi-cell LiPo batteries (usually integrated in good LiPo
chargers). A balancer (frequently also referred to as an equalizer) prevents overcharging of a single LiPo
cell by inspection of the individual cell voltages.
When overcharging a LiPo cell (max. cell voltage 4.24 V), the LiPo battery may bloat or even catch fire
or explode!
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery or battery
housing is damaged or the battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is
immediate danger of fire and explosion!
• Never charge the battery right after use. Always leave the rechargeable batteries to cool off first (at least
5 minutes).
• Remove the drive battery from the vehicle for recharging.
• Place the rechargeable battery on a heat-resistant, inflammable surface when charging.
• Never charge the enclosed drive batteries with a too-high charging current.
• The charger and drive battery heat up when charging. Leave enough distance between the charger
and the drive battery, never place the drive battery on the charger. Never cover the charger or the drive
battery. Do not expose the charger or drive battery to high/low temperatures or to direct solar radiation.
• Never leave batteries unattended while charging them.
• Regularly recharge the rechargeable batteries (about every 2 - 3 months). Otherwise, self-discharge of
the batteries may cause deep discharge. This renders the rechargeable batteries useless!
LiPo batteries usually retain their energy for several months; however, they are damaged permanently
by deep discharge and cannot be used anymore.
• Remove the battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Chargers and rechargeable batteries must not get damp or wet. Rechargeable batteries with lithium
technology (e.g. LiPo batteries) in particular are very susceptible to moisture due to the chemicals they
contain; there is a danger of fire and explosion!
