Charging the 7.2v NiMH battery
using the trickle charger
Always fully charge your battery before its first use. Batteries
are shipped partially charged and must be fully charged to
achieve the proper run time.
Note: NiMH batteries require approximately 5-10 charge and
discharge cycles to reach full capacity. Until the battery reaches
full capacity your run times may be less than stated.The 7.2v
trickle charger operates only on the specified wall voltage and
should be used to charge the 7.2v battery pack only.
1) After plugging the charger into a wall socket, insert the
keyed charger plug into the socket on the top of the battery
by aligning the raised arrows with the yellow dot on the
battery.
Charge time for a fully discharged battery is approximately 14
hours.The battery will become warm to the touch when fully
charged. For partially discharged batteries the charge time is
approximately proportional to the run time ( i.e. 1 hour run
time would require a 7 hour charge).To prolong battery life,
do not charge over 24 hours.
Hint: A timer attached to the wall socket will help prevent
over charging the battery if left on the trickle charger.
