7. Charging the Batteries

a) Charging the Driving Battery for the Vehicle
• This vehicle is only suitable for use with NiMH rechargeable batteries with 6 cells (rated voltage 7.2V).
• A rechargeable driving battery is not included in the delivery and must be ordered 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.
• The rechargeable driving battery is delivered uncharged and must be charged. Before the rechargeable driving
battery delivers its maximum power, several complete discharge and charge cycles are necessary.
• High-quality rechargeable driving 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 engine more power and
results in better acceleration and higher speed.
• If you are using several driving batteries or rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality charger may be worth-
while. Such a charger usually has a quick-charging feature.
• Rechargeable batteries heat up when charged or discharged (driving the vehicle). Wait until the rechargeable bat-
teries 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.
• Remove the driving battery from the vehicle for charging.
b) Charging Rechargeable Batteries in the Transmitter
The included transmitter may not have a charging socket; observe the included operating instructions for
the transmitter. In this case, remove the inserted batteries and charge them externally.
If your transmitter has a charging socket, check whether there are actually rechargeable batteries inserted
in the transmitter before connecting the charger. When charging normal (non-rechargeable) batteries,
there is a risk of fire and explosion!
• We recommend not charging rechargeable batteries directly in the transmitter but with a high-quality charger for
individual cells instead.
• Rechargeable batteries in the transmitter must not be quick-charged as this damages the transmitter and heats up
the cells in the transmitter excessively. Observe the maximum permissible charging current as indicated on the
transmitter or in the operating instructions of the remote control system.
• Only use a charger designed for the respective number of cells in the transmitter and the corresponding recharge-
able battery type.
