Charging The Drive Battery For The Vehicle - Reely Bulldog Bedienungsanleitung

8. Charging the drive battery for the vehicle

• A drive battery is not included with item no. 1590625. It must be purchased separately. This allows you to choose
whether you want to use a low-cost beginner's rechargeable battery or a high-quality professional rechargeable
battery with a high capacity.
• A 2-cell LiPo drive battery and a LiPo charger are included with item no. 1605713. Refer to the charger instructions
for details on how to charge the battery.
• A drive battery is, as a general rule, empty on delivery and must be charged. Before a drive battery delivers its
maximum power, several complete discharge and charge cycles are necessary.
• If you are still using "old" NiCd drive batteries, these should be used, whenever possible, until they are completely
"empty", because repeated charging of a "half-full" NiCd drive battery can lead to what's known as the memory
effect. That means that the drive battery loses its capacity, it no longer releases all of its saved energy, drive time
is decreased.
For rechargeable batteries with NiMH or LiPo technology, recharging partially discharged batteries does not cause
any problems. A prior discharge is usually not required.
• High-quality drive batteries not only have a higher capacity, which allows you to drive your model vehicle much
longer, they also provide a higher output voltage under load. This gives the motor more power and results in better
acceleration and a higher speed.
• Rechargeable batteries heat up during charging/discharging (driving the vehicle). Wait until the rechargeable batter-
ies have reached room temperature before charging them. The same applies after the charging procedure. Do not
use the rechargeable batteries in the vehicle until they have cooled down sufficiently after charging.
• Only use a charger that is suitable for type of rechargeable battery used (e.g. LiPo).
• Always remove the drive battery from the vehicle for recharging.
