This user manual shall be kept in a safe place. If another customer is using this product, this manual has to be
handed out together with it.
2. CHARGING
We generally recommend a maximum charge current of 1C* and chargers, which are suited for NiMH batteries. Our
chargers Pulsar Touch (No. 41556) and Quadra Competition V1 (No. 41420) are 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 tempe-
rature cut-off charger. Use the Delta-Peak function of your charger if available.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use the NiMH - setting of your charger for charging the NiMH packs. DO not use a LiPo - setting
for charging.
We recommend the following settings, if you are using a Pulsar Touch or Quadra V1:
Battery Pack
LRP XTEC RX-Packs 6.0V 2/3A NiMH
LRP XTEC 1/5 RX-Packs 6.0V Sub-C NiMH
Please note: You can use your LRP XTEC RX-Packs battery several times a day. However be sure, that the battery
has completely cooled down to ambient temperature, before re-charging it again.
LRP XTEC RX-Packs batteries batteries do not have a memory effect and only a very low self-discharge rate.
Therefore you can also charge batteries with a partial charge in them, without the need of discharging the pack
before. Partially charged packs can be stored over a long period of time, without getting damaged. Please also
see the „Storage" section for further reference.
* C=Nominal capacity of the battery. E.g. with a nominal capacity of 4000mAh (4.0Ah), the battery can be charged
with a max. current of 4.0A.
3. DISCHARGING
Please note: LRP XTEC RX-Packs should only be used as a receiver-battery for your RC-model. Do not use the RX-
Packs as a driving pack for your RC-model, as this might harm the battery irreversibly.
NiMH batteries should never be stored completely empty. Always pay special attention, that your battery is not
completely discharged. Even if you use the battery once a week, the battery should never be stored completely
empty. Be sure to also check the information, which is given in the section „Storage".
Pay attention, that the battery back has cooled down completely before beginning the charge.
LRP XTEC RX-Packs are high-performance cells, manufactured with the newest technology available. Discharging
each cell below 1V over a longer period of time harms the battery and reduces the capacity.
IMPORTANT: Do not dead-short or deep-discharge the XTEC cells to 0V. This will immediately damage the cells
irreversible.
4. SPECIAL NOTES FOR HANDLING
• Avoid short-circuits! Short-circuiting the battery results in very high currents, which damage the internal
structure of a NiMH-battery. This leads to a loss of power and capacity.
• Never charge several NiMH-battery packs at once with one charger. The different capacities and charge levels
can lead to serious overcharging of the battery, even if you are using a charger with NiMH capabilities.
• Damaged packs cannot be used any longer. If the packs show signs of damage, are bent or similar, do not use
the packs anymore.
• The chemical reaction during charging and discharging a NiMH-battery is not fully reversible. Due to that,
NiMH-batteries loose capacity during their life-span. This is normal and neither a manufacturing nor produc-
tion fault.
Disposal note: Damaged packs or packs, which can no longer be used are hazardous waste and have to be
disposed of accordingly.
5. STORAGE
If you are not using your battery pack for several days/weeks, under no circumstances it shall be stored
fully discharged. Storing of fully discharged NiMH batteries even for just a few days immediately damages
the cells.
We recommend to only store your NiMH battery packs with some capacity left in them. A common way
to do this is to partially charge the empty battery with 1C for 25 minutes. You can then store the pack for
at least 4 weeks at a temperature of 20°C without problems. Store the battery preferably in a cool place.
ATTENTION: Storing NiMH batteries at higher temperatures increases the self-discharge rate of the batte-
ries. Therefore you have to recharge the battery more often when storing it at higher temperatures.
After a long storage period, the battery pack has to be discharged max. 2A to a cut-off voltage of 4.5V
(5 cells). Pay attention, that the battery pack has cooled down completely before beginning the charge.

which are a result of misuse, improper maintenance, outside interference or mechanical damage.
This especially applies on already used batteries or batteries, which show signs of heavy usage. Damages or output
losses due to improper handling and/or overload are not a product fault. Signs of wear (loss of capacity) after intensive
usage are also no product fault.
The following points do also result in a service fee: Original power plugs replaced with a NON reverse polarity pro-
tected power plug system (Stickpacks). Use of a non reverse polarity protected power plug system (Competition
batteries). Send in the battery without power plugs. Removed or damaged original heatshrink.
To eliminate all other possibilities or improper handling, first check all other components in your model and the trouble
shooting guide, if available, before you send in this product for repair. If products are sent in for repair, which do ope-
rate perfectly, we have to charge a service fee according to our pricelist.
