Please follow these instructions regardingNiCd vehicle battery charging and safety.Use charger only under adult supervision.BATTERY CHARGING/CARE – 9.6V TURBO®BATTERY1. Plug wall pack charger into standard110/120 volt outlet.2. Connect the wires leading from thebattery pack to the wall pack chargerconnector. Make certain the two con-nectors are tightly snapped together.3. To disconnect wires, push down on theconnector clip and pull apart.4. Your battery pack consists of new partsand materials; therefore, you shouldcharge the battery pack for 51/2 hoursthe first two times you charge the bat-tery. Subsequent charges will requireonly 4 hours.5. After charging for 4 hours, the batterywill feel warm. This condition is normalfor fully charged batteries.6. Charging the battery pack for morethan 4 hours will not give you a longerrunning time. 4 hours is all that isrequired for a fully charged batterypack.7. Unlike alkaline batteries, where thepower loss is gradual, a NiCd (nickel-cadmium) battery will run for its normalrunning time, depending on your partic-ular vehicle, and then lose most of itspower at once. It is time to rechargethe battery pack. Running time willvary, depending upon which R/C vehi-cle you have.8. After use, the battery pack will be hot!Wait at least 20 minutes until the bat-tery pack cools before recharging.Recharging a warm or hot battery packwill greatly reduce the number of timesyour battery pack can be recharged.RECHARGEABLE BATTERY INFORMATION: DO NOT RECHARGE BATTERY PACKIF IT’S HOT.
