Charging The Drive Battery For The Vehicle - Reely NEW1 Notice D'emploi

8. Charging the Drive Battery for the Vehicle

• Item no. 1551069 does not include a drive battery; this must be purchased separately. This enables you to choose
whether you want to use a low-cost beginner's rechargeable battery pack or a high-quality professional battery pack
which has a higher capacity.
• Item no. 1559975 includes a 6-cell NiMH drive battery and a NiMH charger. Observe the operating instructions of
the charger for this.
• The rechargeable drive battery is delivered uncharged and must be charged. Several complete discharge and
charge cycles are necessary before the drive battery delivers its maximum power.
• If you are still using "old" NiCd drive batteries, they should be run "empty" at all times, because repeated charging
of a "half-full" NiCd drive battery can cause a memory effect. That means that the drive battery loses its capacity; it
no longer releases all of its stored energy and the driving time is decreased.
For rechargeable batteries with NiMH or LiPo technology, recharging partially discharged rechargeable batteries
does not cause any problems. Previous discharge is usually not required.
• High-quality rechargeable drive batteries not only have a higher capacity, which allows you to drive your model car
much longer, but also deliver a higher output voltage for extreme situations. This gives the motor more power and
results in better acceleration and 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 battery in the vehicle until it has cooled down sufficiently after the charging process.
• Only use a charger suitable for the battery type used (e.g. LiPo).
• Remove the drive battery from the vehicle for charging.
