TRACK BATTERIES
All Carrera FIRST slot racing sets require batteries to operate. These are not included and
must be obtained separately.
Each FIRST set requires 4x C Size (LR14) Alkaline dry-cell batteries to operate and these
are held in the track’s Connecting Section (see example below).
• The battery compartment cover is secured with a Philips head screw and a suitable
screwdriver will be required. This is a safety feature to prevent small children
accessing the batteries and the cover should always be replaced/secured when there
are batteries in the Connecting Section
• Always replace all batteries at the same time - do not mix old and new dry-cell
batteries together
• Note correct battery orientation (+/-) as shown above
• Rechargeable C-Size batteries can be used in place of dry-cell Alkaline versions.
However, a separate charger would need to be obtained in addition to the batteries
• The better the quality of batteries used, the greater the performance will be, including
overall run times. As a guide, using a quality set of dry-cell batteries will typically give
up to 6 hours of play
• Always remove batteries (dry-cell or rechargeable) from the Connecting Section if the
set is not to be used for an extended period of time/stored away
