Safety Notes
do not have access to a suitable fast charger, i. e. one
which allows you to set the charge current accurately,
then the battery should always be recharged using the
“normal” charge rate of 1/10C; see the example stated
above.
Wherever possible, transmitter batteries should
always be recharged at the 1/10C rate, in order to
avoid differences in cell states. The charge current
must never exceed the maximum permissible value
stated in the transmitter instructions.
Fast charging
If your charger offers these facilities, then set the
•
Delta Peak trigger voltage to 5 mV per cell. However,
most battery chargers are set to a fixed value of 15
… 20 mV per cell, and can therefore be used equally
well for NiCd batteries and for NiMH batteries. If you
are unsure, refer to the operating instructions or
ask your dealer whether the charger is also suitable
for NiMH batteries. If you are still not sure, charge
your batteries at half of the stated maximum charge
current.
Discharging
All rechargeable batteries sold by
Graupner
and
GM
-
Racing are suitable for a maximum continuous current
load of 6C … 13C, according to battery type (refer to the
manufacturer’s specification!). The higher the continuous
current load, the shorter the batteries’ useful life.
Use your battery until its performance falls off, or until
•
the low voltage warning is triggered.
Caution:
When stored for a long period, the cell voltage should
not be allowed to fall below 1.2 V. This means that
you may have to recharge the battery before stor-
ing it.
Reflex charging and charge / discharge (cycle)
•
programs shorten the effective life of batteries unnec-
essarily, and are only suitable for checking battery
quality or “reviving” relatively old cells. It also makes
no sense to charge / discharge a battery before using
it - unless you simply wish to check its quality.
Disposal of exhausted dry and rechargeable batter-
ies
The German Battery Order places a legal requirement
on every consumer to return all used and exhausted
dry cells and rechargeable batteries. It is prohibited to
dispose of these items in the ordinary domestic waste.
At no charge to the user, old dry and rechargeable
batteries can be surrendered at local authority collec-
tion points,
Graupner
retail outlets, and any other shop
where dry and rechargeable batteries of the same type
are sold. You can also send batteries supplied by us to
the following address - with adequate pre-paid postage
- for disposal:
Graupner
GmbH & Co. KG
Service: Gebrauchte Batterien (Used batteries)
Henriettenstr. 94 - 96
D-73230 Kirchheim unter Teck
You can make an important contribution to environmen-
tal protection in this way.
Caution:
Damaged batteries may require special packaging be-
fore despatch, as some contain highly toxic materials!!!!!
