8. Charging Rechargeable Batteries
Ifyouuserechargeablebatteriesforpowersupplyofthetransmitter/receiver,theyareusuallyatatdeliveryand
must be charged.
Note:
Before a rechargeable battery reaches maximum capacity, several complete discharge and charge cycles
are necessary.
 Alwaysdischargetherechargeablebatteryatregularintervals,sincecharginga„half-full“rechargeable
batteryseveraltimescancauseaso-calledlazybatteryeffect.Thismeansthattherechargeablebattery
loses capacity. It no longer provides all of its stored energy, and the operating time of the model is reduced.
 Ifyouuseseveralrechargeablebatteries,purchasingahigh-qualitychargermaybeworthwhile.Sucha
