BATTERY CHARGING/CARE
(Batteries and Charger not included)
Your vehicle will not operate without the TYCO
TMH
™
FlexPak
™
battery pack is designed for use exclusively in TYCO
will not work in any 6.0V or 9.6V NiCd battery-powered vehicles.
Your TMH FlexPak battery pack features a unique design (Patent Pending) which allows it to be config-
ured in different ways for use in different Tyco
performance for each vehicle. To configure your FlexPak battery pack for use in this vehicle, please
refer to Step 2, Battery Installation.
1.
Plug the battery charger into standard wall outlet.
2.
Hold the battery pack fully open, with the metal contacts at the top, as shown.
The labels marked 1 and 2 in the upper left-hand corner should be facing you. Now slide
the battery pack securely into the charger.
3.
To disconnect, push the red button on the side of the charger. Hold the red button down while you
slide out the battery pack.
4.
New battery packs must be charged for 5 1/2 hours the first two times charged. After that,
subsequent charges will require only 4 hours.
5.
After charging, the battery pack will feel warm. This is normal for fully charged batteries.
6.
Unlike alkaline batteries, which lose power gradually, your TMH FlexPak battery will run for its
normal running time, depending on your particular vehicle, and then lose most of its power at
once. It is now time to recharge the battery pack.
7.
Unlike NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) rechargeable batteries, your TMH FlexPak battery pack may be
recharged at any time, irrespective of the level of charge remaining in the battery: you do not have to wait
until the battery pack is fully discharged to recharge it.
8.
After use, the battery pack will be hot! Wait at least 20 minutes until the battery pack cools down before
recharging. Recharging a hot battery will greatly reduce the number of times your battery pack can be
recharged.
BATTERY PACK CARE
Because of its unique design, other battery chargers will be unable to charge your TMH FlexPak battery pack.
To charge your battery pack, use only the Tyco
