for charging with Tron CHARGE.
These battery are specially designed for On-Board communication.
After recharging the battery, it can be used in the same way as the primary
battery unit. However, the voltage of Nickel-Cadmium batteries drops rapidly
just before they are exhausted, so when the transmit indicator LED (Tx) goes
out, be sure to immediately stop using it, and recharge the batteries again.
When changeing the batteries, see chapter 3.1 How to change the battery.
