• Do not charge batteries when they are still hot (e.g. due to a high discharge current in the model). Allow
the battery to cool down to room temperature before charging it.
• Only use the included charger to charge the included drive battery.
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation, as the drive battery and charger may heat up during the charg-
ing process. Never cover the charger and the drive battery!
• Never leave rechargeable batteries unattended when they are charging. Inspect the charger at regular
intervals to ensure that the rechargeable battery is not overheating or expanding. This indicates an
imminent risk of fire or explosion! If the battery overheats or starts to expand, disconnect it from the
charger immediately and take it to a location where it will not cause any additional damage if it explodes
or catches fire (e.g. outdoors).
It is normal for the NiMH drive battery to heat up during the charging process.
• Disconnect the drive battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Never damage the casing of a rechargeable battery. Never charge damaged, leaking or deformed re-
chargeable batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion! Discontinue use immediately and dispose of
such unusable rechargeable batteries in an environmentally friendly manner.
• Rechargeable batteries should be charged regularly (approx. once every 2–3 months) to prevent deep
discharge due to self-discharge. This may render the rechargeable batteries useless!
