Battery Care and Precautions
and/or receiver battery packs. These are included to serve only as general guidelines, and are not intended
to replace or supersede the information provided by the battery and/or charger manufacturer. For complete
information, please refer to the instructions that are included with the battery pack(s) and/or chargers that
accompany the products purchased.
• Do not allow children to charge battery packs without adult supervision.
• Do not charge battery packs that have been damaged in any way. We strongly suggest frequent inspection
of the battery packs to ensure that no damage has occurred.
• Do not to allow batteries to overheat! If overheated, disconnect the battery from the charger immediately
and allow to cool.
• Do not deep cycle NiMH batteries as permanent damage could result.
• Never charge batteries on a surface that may become hot, or may be impacted by the heat.
• Immediately end the charging procedure if either the batteries or charger itself become overly hot.
• NiMH cells do not exhibit the "memory effect" like NiCd cells, so little cycling is needed. Store NiMH
packs with some voltage remaining on the cells (refer to battery supplier).
• NiMH cells have a self-discharge rate of approximately 20-25% (compared to 15% for NiCd batteries). It is
important to recharge NiMH batteries immediately prior to use.
• Never connect the battery in reverse. Reverse connection will cause the battery to overheat or will damage
the inside of the charger.
• Do not add an additional charge after charging.
• Never charge with a current exceeding the nominal capacity (lC) of the rechargeable battery.
• If a battery is charged with a current exceeding 1C, the battery will overheat and deteriorate.
• Do not connect two battery packs or more to one output terminal.
• Avoid extremely cold and hot places and the direct sunlight when you charge batteries.
• It is recommended to perform charging within the 10 ~ 30°C (50-85°F) range. Otherwise, it may cause
abnormal charging and overheat.
To transmitter charging jack
According to the description of the battery to be used and its
exclusive charger, please use it after carrying out full charge.
We recommend charging the batteries with the charger
supplied with your system. Note that the use of a fast charger
may damage the batteries by overheating and dramatically
reduce their lifetime.
When HT5F1700B is chosen, HBC-3A (4) is recommended.
When charging FT2F2100B, Please make sure to remove the
battery from the system to charge it. Charger for this battery
