8. Charging Rechargeable Batteries
The rechargeable mignon batteries required for the RC system are, in general, uncharged on delivery and must be
charged.
Please note:
Before a rechargeable battery reaches maximum capacity, several complete discharge and charge cycles
are necessary.
Always discharge the rechargeable battery at regular intervals, since charging a "half-full" rechargeable
battery several times can cause a so-called memory effect. This means that the rechargeable battery
loses capacity. It no longer provides all of its stored energy, and the operating time of the model and the
remote control is reduced.
If you use several rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality charger may be worthwhile. Such a
charger usually has a quick-charging feature.
