7. Battery information

Although batteries and rechargeable batteries are very useful in our everyday life, nevertheless
they present numerous safety hazards.
Therefore, always observe the following general information and safety instructions when handling
batteries and rechargeable batteries. Always observe all additional safety instructions and informa-
tion provided by the manufacturer/distributor of the drive battery or charger you are using.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of 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 fire. This
may cause an explosion!
• When handling leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries, always use suitable protective
gloves to avoid burning your skin.
• Do not recharge regular batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion! Only charge rechargeable bat-
teries which are intended for this purpose (1.2 V); use suitable battery chargers. Batteries (1.5 V) are
designed to be used once and must be disposed of properly when they are empty.
• Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries (observe plus/+ and minus/-). Incorrect polarity will
not only damage the transmitter and batteries, It may also cause a fire or explosion.
• If you do not plan to use the model for an extended period (e.g. during storage), remove the batteries
from the remote control to prevent them from leaking and causing damage. Disconnect the drive battery
from the speed controller.
• Rechargeable batteries should be charged at least once every 3 months to prevent damage due to deep
discharge, which will render them useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Do not mix full batteries/recharge-
able batteries with half-full ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and
from the same manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries with rechargeable batteries! The remote control can be powered with disposable or
rechargeable batteries.
• Never charge the drive rechargeable battery immediately after use. Always let the drive rechargeable
battery cool down until it has reached room or ambient temperature again.
• Only charge intact and undamaged drive rechargeable batteries. Do not charge the rechargeable bat-
tery if the external insulation of the rechargeable battery is damaged, or if the rechargeable battery is
deformed or swollen. In this case there is serious danger of fire and explosion!
• Protect the outer shell of a rechargeable battery from damage and do not pierce it with sharp objects.
This may cause a fire or explosion!
• Never recharge the drive battery unattended.
• Disconnect the charging cable or charger from the drive battery when it is fully charged.
