7. Recharging Battery Pack

Please note:
Accumulators are not part of the delivery and must be ordered separately. This allows you to chose
whether you want to use a low-cost beginner's accumulator or a high-quality professional accumulator
with a high capacity.
The accumulator pack is empty on delivery and must be charged.
Before the accumulator pack delivers its maximum power, several complete discharge and charge
cycles are necessary.
Always drive the accumulator pack empty, as recharging a "half-full" accumulator pack repeatedly, can
cause a so called memory effect. This means that the rechargeable battery pack loses its capacity, it no
longer releases all of its saved energy, drive time is decreased.
This effect is much slighter in accumulators with NiMH technology, and recharging partially discharged
accumulators is less problematic.
High-quality accumulators not only have a higher capacity, which allows you to drive your model vehicle
much longer and also delivers a higher output voltage for extreme situations. This gives the engine
more power and results in better acceleration and a higher speed.
If you are using several accumulator packs or accumulators, purchasing a high-quality charger may be
worthwhile. They are normally also suitably for fast charging of accumulators.
Accumulators heat up during charging/discharging (driving the vehicle). Wait until the accumulator has
reached room temperature before charging it. The same applies after the charging procedure. Do not
use the accumulator in the vehicle until it has cooled down sufficiently after the charge process.
