Adapter for Charging an Extra NI-MH RC Transmitter Battery
If you have an extra NI-MH RC battery, you can charge this outside the RC. You may need to
do this while you are using the robot or if you need to charge both batteries at the same time.
The adapter needed to do this is in the control case or it is on your charger. It has a white
connector on one side and a connection on the other end that will go directly to your battery. If
the barrel adapter is currently on the charger, disconnect it and connect the other adapter. The
charging time is still about 14 hours.
