8. Charging the Batteries
a) Charging the Drive Batteries for the Vehicle
• Themodelisdeliveredwithoutanydrivebatteries.Theymustbepurchasedseparately.Youcanchosewhetheryou
want to use low-cost battery packs for beginners or high-quality professional battery packs with a high capacity.
• High-qualitydrivebatteriesnotonlyhaveahighercapacity,whichallowsyoutodriveyourmodelvehiclemuch
longer, but also deliver a higher output voltage under load. This gives the motor more power and results in better
acceleration and higher speed.
• Thedrivebatteriesareusuallydeliveredunchargedandmustbecharged.Severalcompletedischargeandcharge
cycles are necessary before the drive battery delivers its maximum power.
• OnlyuseachargersuitableforLiPobatteries.
We recommend purchasing a high-quality charger. This should always have an installed balancer (frequently also
calledan„Equalizer“).Otherwise,anexternalbalancerisrequired.
 ThebalancermeasuresthevoltageofeverysinglecelloftheLiPorechargeablebatteryduringchargingandpre-
vents that different cell voltages result.
 DifferentcellvoltagesleadtoanoverchargeofindividualcellswhenchargingLiPobatteries;thereisa
dangerofreandexplosion!Whendischarging,adifferentcellvoltageleadstodeepdischargeofindividual
cells,whichrenderstheLiPobatteryunusable.
• Removethedrivebatteriesfromthevehicleforcharging.
• Rechargeablebatteriesheatupwhenchargedordischarged(drivingthevehicle).Waituntiltherechargeablebatte-
ries have reached room temperature before charging them. The same applies after the charging procedure. Do not
usethedrivebatteriesinthevehicleuntiltheyhavecooleddownsufcientlyafterthechargingprocess.
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re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.
