THE Nickel Metal Hydride (NI-MH) RC TRANSMITTER BATTERY
The NI-MH RC transmitter battery will last about 5-6 hours on a full charge. Charge
the battery for 16 hours. A charge jack is provided on the transmitter for recharging its
internal batteries. This round jack is located on the right side of the radio control. (See the
radio control diagram) The RC power switch must be in the off position when the charger is
plugged into it and must remain in the off position while charging. A light on the charger will
be on, when charging.
Caution: Do not overcharge the batteries as this could cause permanent damage to the
transmitter batteries. (Doubling the normal charging time is the type of over charging that is
meant here, and the battery getting hot.) When the battery level needle goes in the red, the
robot should be turned off because the robot could act erratic without the transmitter signal.
To avoid a RC battery going dead during a presentation, start the program with a
fully charged battery or be aware of how much charge there is left in the battery. If you have
an extra battery or the optional 110 Volt RC Power Supply, you can connect one of these
and keep going.
To install the NI-MH battery pack you need to take the back cover off the RC.
