Battery Safety Information; General Information - Reely Speedy Bedienungsanleitung

• When the drive battery is nearly empty, the vehicle will slow down and may not respond properly to the
transmitter.
The drive battery in the vehicle powers not only the motor via the speed controller, but also the receiver
and the steering servo. A BEC ("Battery Eliminator Circuit", an electronic circuit for direct power supply
of the receiver without an additional receiver battery) is used for this purpose.
If the drive battery voltage is too low, the receiver voltage may drop and the vehicle may not respond to
transmitter commands. In this case, stop the vehicle immediately (turn off the vehicle, disconnect the
drive battery from the vehicle, and switch off the transmitter). Replace/recharge the drive battery as
necessary.
• The motor, drive, speed controller and drive battery heat up during use. Take a break of at least 5–10
minutes before changing the rechargeable battery.
• Allow the drive battery to cool down completely before charging.
• Do not touch the motor, the speed controller or the rechargeable battery until they have cooled down.
Burn hazard!

7. Battery safety information

Although batteries and rechargeable batteries are very useful in our everyday life, nevertheless
they present numerous safety hazards. Compared with conventional NiMH rechargeable batteries,
lithium rechargeable batteries have a high energy content. For this reason, it is essential to comply
with safety regulations to prevent the risk of fire or explosion.
Always observe the following safety information when handling batteries and rechargeable
batteries.
a) General information
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of reach of children. Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be
kept out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children
and pets. Seek immediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into the fire. This
may cause an explosion!
• When handling leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries, always use suitable protective
gloves to avoid burning your skin.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are highly aggressive chemicals. Objects or sur-
faces coming into contact with these liquids could be severely damaged. Therefore, keep batteries/
rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
• Do not attempt to recharge disposable, non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion!
Non-rechargeable batteries are only designed to be used once and must be disposed of properly when
they are empty. Only recharge compatible rechargeable batteries and ensure that you use a suitable
battery charger.
