8. Charging the battery pack

Please note:
A rechargeable battery pack is not included in delivery. It has to be ordered separately.
The rechargeable battery pack is empty on delivery and must be charged.
Before the rechargeable battery pack delivers its maximum power, several complete discharge and
charge cycles are necessary.
Always use up the NiCd battery pack completely as recharging a "half-full" battery pack repeatedly can
cause the so-called memory effect. This means that the rechargeable battery pack loses its capacity
and no longer provides maximum energy. This reduces operating time.
With NiMH technology this effect is far weaker and recharging partially discharged rechargeable batteries
is less problematic.
High-quality rechargeable batteries have a higher capacity, which allows you to drive your model vehicle
much longer, and they provide a higher output voltage when under intensive use. This gives the engine
more power and results in better acceleration and a higher speed.
If you are using several rechargeable battery packs or rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality
charger may be worthwhile. Such a charger usually has a quick-charging feature.
Rechargeable batteries heat up during charging/discharging (driving the vehicle). Wait until the
rechargeable battery has reached room temperature before charging it. 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.
