Reely 2103650 Operating Instructions Manual page 34

• Place the charger and battery on a heat-resistant, non-combustible surface.
• The charger and battery will heat up during the charging process. Therefore, keep a sufficient dis-
tance between the charger and the rechargeable battery, and never place a rechargeable battery on the
charger. Never cover the charger and the battery. Do not expose the charger or battery to extremely high/
low temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Never leave batteries unattended when they are charging.
• Rechargeable batteries should be charged regularly (approx. once every 2–3 months) to prevent them
from overdischarging. This may result in permanent damage and render the batteries useless.
LiPo batteries usually retain their charge for several months. However, if the batteries overdischarge, this
will result in permanent damage and render them useless.
• If LiPo rechargeable batteries are to be stored for a long time (for example, if you will not be operating
the vehicle in winter), they should not be fully charged, but only at about 50 to 75% of their maximum
capacity. Pay particular attention to the information of the rechargeable battery or charger manufacturer.
• Never use an excessive charging current. Observe the manufacturer's specifications for the ideal/maxi-
mum charging current.
• Disconnect the battery from the charger when the battery is fully charged.
• The charger and the rechargeable battery must not get damp or wet. This may result in a fatal electric
shock or cause a fire or explosion!
Lithium rechargeable batteries (e.g. LiPo batteries) contain chemicals that are very sensitive to moisture.
• This vehicle is only suitable for use with a LiPo drive battery with 2 cells (nominal voltage 7.4 V) or a
NiMH drive battery with 6 cells (nominal voltage 7.2 V). Using drive batteries with more cells can result
in a fire hazard due to overheating of the speed controller and overloading the drive of the vehicle and
damaging it. This will void the warranty!
