8. Charging the batteries
The rechargeable mignon batteries required for the RC system are, in general, empty on deliv-
ery and must be charged.
Please note:
Before the rechargeable battery supplies its maximum power, several complete
discharge and charge cycles are necessary.
Always discharge the rechargeable battery in regular intervals, since charging a
"half-full" rechargeable battery several times can cause a so-called memory ef-
fect. This means that the rechargeable battery loses its capacity. It no longer re-
leases all of its stored energy, the operation time of the model and the transmitter
is reduced.
If you use several rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality charger may
be worthwhile. They are normally also suitable for fast-charging rechargeable bat-
teries.
Take note of paragraph 10.b) when charging the batteries in the transmitter.
