Accessories
Technical data
The nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries from NBB have a high energy density and self-
cleaning contacts. With an NBB charger, the battery packs are charged at a high charge
current. This rapid charge is thermally controlled to optimise recharging and prevent
overcharging.
Technology Ni-MH
Voltage 7.2V
Capacity 1,500m Ah
Maximum charging current 1.0A (with monitoring)
Operating temperature (discharge) –20C° to +60C°
Operating temperature (charge) +10C° to +35C°
Weight Approx. 200g
Measurements (L x B x H) Approx. 126mmx52mmx 22 mm
Battery 7.2 V
Completely charge the battery before initial use.
The battery only has its maximum capacity after five complete charging and discharging
procedures!
Completely discharge the battery in the control unit before charging again.
The charging time depends on the type of battery. It is normal for the battery to heat up
during charging or over long periods of use. Charge batteries at an ambient temperature
of 10° C to 35° C. To prevent deep discharge, the battery should be recharged once a
month if not used. If the battery temperature is too high or too low, no charging takes
place. Deep discharge and extreme temperatures damage the battery. Heat in particular
reduces performance. To extend the service life of the battery, store the charged battery
in a cool and dry location. We are not liable for subsequent damage due to incorrect use.
Safety information
Do not open, modify or burn the battery. Do not drop it or subject it to strong impact.
Protect the battery from rain, moisture and extreme temperatures. Keep the contacts
clean and make sure the battery does not come into contact with metal objects (e.g.
aluminium foil). Do not short circuit the battery.
Disposal
Do not throw away used batteries in household waste but hand them in to a collection point.
Warranty
Any warranty claims for damage or premature wear due to non-observance of the above
operating and safety information shall become null and void.
Only completely discharged batteries
should be charged. Therefore operate
your controller until the capacity of
the battery is completely depleted.
A charged battery is a concentrated
energy source! Never store the battery
in toolboxes, or similar, where there is
a risk of short circuiting due to metal
parts (short circuit due to keys in
trouser pockets is also possible.).
