Batteries & Charging: There is a mains powered charger supplied with the boat. The Boat
charger is capable of charging the boats batteries from fully discharged to fully charged in 18 - 20
hours. Under NO circumstances should the batteries for the boat be fully discharged before charging
as this can severely damage them. Boat battery charging can take place at any time without any
detrimental effect on their performance. If the batteries are not used for some time they will need
to be regularly charged ( at least every 8 weeks) to keep them in peak condition. Please always
disconnect and remove the batteries when the boat is in storage or being transported.
The Boat is charged while it is switched “off”.
If the boat is not going to be used for some months then every 6-8 weeks give the boat an overnight
charge to ensure the batteries remain fully charged.
All rechargeable batteries will remain highly efficient if stored and maintained in a fully charged
state. If the batteries are stored for long periods with very little or no charge in them, then you
will probably be in a situation where the batteries will not accept a charge at all.
The Transmitter is supplied with 4 off heavy duty non-rechargeable AA batteries, which will operate the
transmitter for approximately 24 hours.
Do NOT under any circumstances use batteries other than 6 volt units as this will lead to
irreparable damage to your boat and will void the guarantee.
CARE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT.
1. Do NOT drop / severally knock the Technicat MkII as this may damage internal parts.
2. It is recommended that the boat be wiped down with a damp cloth and allowed to dry out any
condensation in a warm and dry environment for a day or two with the battery boxes left out of
the boat.
3. Although the electronics are sealed, it is important that the boat and transmitter be stored in a warm,
dry place, in order to prevent condensation build up.
4. The transmitter should be protected from water / condensation at all times.
