6. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed
by children or pets. In this case, see a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is a danger
of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin. Wear suitable protective
gloves when handling them.
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable
batteries intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers.
• Observe correct polarity when inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries or connecting a rechargeable drive battery
(observe plus/+ and minus/-).
• To avoid damage during damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries, remove the batteries (or rechargeable
batteries) from the transmitter when the device is not used over an extended period of time (e.g. when stored).
Disconnect the drive battery from the speed controller completely.
Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months. Otherwise, so-called deep discharge may result, rendering
the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries in the transmitter. Never mix fully charged batteries/
rechargeable batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same
type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the transmitter.
• When using LiPo batteries in the vehicle, always observe the manufacturer's information on handling or charging
LiPo batteries.
The transmitter can be operated with rechargeable instead of regular batteries.
However, the low voltage (batteries = 1.5 V, rechargeable batteries = 1.2 V) and the lower capacity of
rechargeable batteries does lead to a decrease of the operating time. Usually this does not matter, as the
operating time of the transmitter by far exceeds the operating time of the drive batteries in the vehicle.
When using batteries in the transmitter, we recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries.
