You should fully discharge your system's Ni-Cd batteries periodically to prevent a condition called memory.
capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capacity even if the battery is fully charged. You can cycle your
batteries with a commercial cycling unit*, or by leaving the system on and exercising the servos by moving the
transmitter sticks until the transmitter shuts itself off. Cycling should be done every four to eight weeks, even
during the winter or periods of long storage. Keep track of the batteries capacity during cycling; if there is a
noticeable change, you may need to replace the batteries.
*Note that the 10C transmitter system has electronic protection from overcharging and reverse polarity via a poli-switch. It does NOT have a diode
DO NOT attempt to charge your 8-cell transmitter pack on the 4-cell receiver plug of the wall charger!

The initial charge, and any charge after a complete discharge, should
be at least 18 hours to ensure full charge. The batteries should be left

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.
