7. Charging accumulators

a) Charging the accumulator pack for the car
• 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 rechargeable battery pack is empty on delivery and must be charged.
• Before the rechargeable battery 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 rechargeable batteries with NiMH technology, and recharging partially discharged
rechargeable batteries is less problematic.
• High-quality rechargeable battery packs not only have a higher capacity, which allows you to drive your model
vehicle much longer, but also deliver 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 rechargeable battery packs or rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality charger
may be worthwhile. They are normally also suitably for the fast charging of rechargeable batteries.
• Rechargeable batteries heat up during charging/discharging (driving the vehicle). Wait until the rechargeable batteries
have reached room temperature before charging them. The same applies after the charging procedure. Do not use
the rechargeable battery in the vehicle until it has cooled down sufficiently after the charging process.
b) Charging batteries in the remote control
It may be possible that this remote control version (transmitter) does not have a charging socket. In this
case, remove the inserted batteries and charge them externally.
If your remote control has a charging socket, check whether rechargeable batteries are actually inserted in
the remote control before connecting it. When charging normal (non-rechargeable) batteries there is a risk
of fire and explosion!
• We recommend not charging accumulators directly in the transmitter but instead with a high-quality charger for
individual cells.
• Accumulators in the transmitter may not be quick-charged, as this damages the transmitter and heats up the cells in
the transmitter. Depending on the applied accumulators, we recommend a maximum charge current of 200-300mA.
Please note the label on the charge socket or the type plate.
• Only use a charger designed for 8 AA/mignon cells and the corresponding accumulator type (NiCd, NiMH).
