1. Cut the wires from your existing alkaline battery holder (close to the holder). 2. Strip wires 1/8 and solder the red wire to the solder tab marked +POS and the black wire to the solder tab marked -NEG on the battery pack. 3. Insert the pack into the battery box and route the charging jack through the same slot as the receiver plug. 4. Mount on truck, plug in the charger to the charging jack. 5. See charging instructions for required charge time. Always make sure to have the battery box switch turned OFF when charging. T-MAXX 2305M / 2605M / 2605MC 1. Remove old Traxxas battery box and unplug from receiver. 2. Mount new Maxximum Pack with the supplied screws. 3. Plug in the Futaba J connector into receiver, make sure to route cable away from moving parts and tie with small cable ties. 4. To Charge turn switch to OFF position (pack will only charge in the OFF position and plug in the 6v 100mah trickle charger into the white charging jack. Note on 2105MC & 2705MC LED indicator models slide open the charging door on the switch and hook up the charging adaptor. 5. See charging instructions for required charge time. 6. 2105MC & 2705MC LED charge indicators: Green: fully charged Yellow: 30-50% charge Flashing Yellow: Caution Less than 10% charge remaining Red: Recharge before using T-MAXX 2605HM / 2705HM 1. Remove old Traxxas battery box and unplug from receiver. 2. Mount new Maxximum Pack with the supplied cable tie to front shock tower. Tip- put a bead of Shoo-Goo on the shock tower and then tie the pack in place. 3. Plug in the Futaba J adapter cable into receiver, route cable away from moving parts and tie in place with small cable ties. 4. Plug in the 6v 100mah trickle charger into the pack. 5. See charging instructions for required charge time. 6. When ready to use plug the battery into the receiver.

In fact, it is recommended that if you are storing these packs for more than a few days that you keep some charge left in them. If you want to fully discharge them do not discharge lower than .85v per cell minimizing the possibility of cell reversal. You can easily make your own discharger as follows; For small packs such as AA & A wire together 2 (4 amps) #1157 automotive turn signal bulbs in parallel). For Large sub-C packs wire 5 (10 amps) bulbs in parallel. Discharge the pack until the lights are dim or until the pack reaches the following voltage; Note: Discharge cutoff voltage: .85 volts per cell Cells 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 Cutoff .85v 1.70v 2.55v 3.40v 4.25v 5.10v 5.95v 6.80v 7.65v 8.50v 10.2v Battery Pack Maintenance 1.) Charging your NiMH battery pack for the first time may require charging at 1/10 C (capacity) to wake them up and reach full capacity. 2.) Nickel-Metal Hydride cells are more sensitive to heat than Nicads, so be sure not to overcharge them. Overcharging may cause the cells to vent and loose capacity. It is recommended that you charge with a charger that has an adjustable Delta Peak detection circuit (set to .01-.02v) eliminating the possibility of overcharging. Nickel- Metal Hydride cells will quickly get hot after the voltage starts dropping, so keep track of the time on the charger. Heating your battery pack up beyond ambient room temperature indicates an overcharge condition and will lead to cell damage. 3.) NiMH vs. NiCad; Although Nicad batteries give higher average voltage numbers when tested on matching Machines, this is due to NiCads having a high initial peak voltage which burns away quickly within the first minute. The Nickel-Metal Hydride cells actually carry more usable voltage over the entire discharge cycle. You will notice that the NiMH cells will have more punch later in the discharge cycle than NiCads. 4.) Store your NiMH with some voltage left in them. Do not dead short them, or store them on a resister.
