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bat-

tery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
