1. CHARGING
We generally recommend a charge current of 1.6A and chargers, which are suited for NiMH batte-
ries. Our NOSRAM STEALTH Evolution charger (#91552) is perfect for this application. Make sure
not to overcharge your battery pack.
Charge up to a maximum cell temperature of 42ºC, when you are using a temperature cut-off char-
ger. Nevertheless you should use a charger with Delta-Peak detection, if possible.
We recommend the following settings, if you are using our NOSRAM STEALTH Evolution charger:

VTEC 2/3A-1600EC Extra Capacity
Please note: You can charge or recharge this battery pack several times a day without problems.
You will not hurt the pack. Nevertheless we recommend to completely discharge the battery pack
and then fully charge it again once in a while (e.g. between race weekends).
2. DISCHARGING
Please note: This receiver battery pack is very robust and easy to use. Therefore the following
information is not something you necessarily have to do, but your battery pack will have a longer
lifetime and optimized performance, if you do so.
If you intend to use your battery pack again within one week, you can leave the battery pack like it is
or discharge the pack with max. 2A to a cut-off voltage of 4.5V.
If you intend not to use your battery for several weeks, you should not discharge the pack. Please
refer to the „Storage" section for further information.
It is not recommended to discharge your NiMH battery pack completely if you intend to store
your battery for a longer time! Only fully discharge the battery pack, if you intend to use it
within one week.
IMPORTANT: Do not dead-short or deep-discharge the cells to 0V. Also do not use the common light-
bulbs without a cut-off or a monitoring device as this will damage the cells immediately.
3. STORAGE
If you are not using your NiMH battery pack for some weeks, it shall not be stored fully discharged.
Longer storing of fully discharged NiMH batteries damages the cells.
Only store your NiMH battery packs with some capacity left in them. We recommend to partially
charge the battery with 1.6A for 15 minutes. You can then store the pack for several weeks without
any problems.
4. RACING TIPS
• Mount your receiver battery pack on a foam or something similar, so it is protected against heavy
vibrations.
• Be sure, that the receiver battery pack never gets in contact with fuel or similar stuff, especially
during refueling of your car. Best would be a sealed receiver box or a piece of Lexan to protect
the battery pack.
• Always charge you battery on the same day you are going to use it. If the battery is fully charged
and rests for several days, be sure to recharge it right before usage. NiMH batteries have a high
self-discharge rate, which leads to less capacity after a long storage period.
