7. Recharging Battery Pack
The rechargeable battery pack necessary for the vehicle is normally empty on delivery and has to be charged.
Please note:
Before the rechargeable battery pack delivers its maximum power, several complete discharge and
charge cycles are necessary.
Always drive the rechargeable battery pack empty, since charging a "half-full" rechargeable battery
pack several times can cause a so called memory effect. That means that the rechargeable battery
pack loses its capacity, it no longer releases all of its saved energy, drive time is decreased.
If you are using several rechargeable battery packs or rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-qual-
ity charger may be worthwhile. They are normally also suitable for fast charging of rechargeable batter-
ies.
