1. CHARGING
We generally recommend a maximum charge current of 1C* and chargers, which are suited
for NiMH batteries. Our NOSRAM STEALTH Evolution charger (#91552) is perfect for this
application. Make sure not to overcharge your battery pack.
Charge up to a maximum cell temperature of 42ºC, when you are using a temperature cut-off
charger. Nevertheless you should use a charger with Delta-Peak detection, if possible.
We recommend the following settings, if you are using our NOSRAM STEALTH Evolution char-
ger:
Battery
NOSRAM Sport/Power/Team Pack 7.2V
NOSRAM Sport Pack 7.2V
Please note: You can use your NOSRAM Sport, Power und Team Packs up to 3-times per
day. Pay attention, that the battery pack has cooled down completely before beginning the
charge.
* C=Nominal capacity of the battery. E.g. with a nominal capacity of 3000mAh (3.0Ah), the
battery can be charged with a max. current of 3.0A.
2. DISCHARGING
All NOSRAM Sport, Power and Team Pack batteries are very robust and easy to use. Therefore
the following information is not something you necessarily have to do, but your battery pack
will have a longer lifetime and optimized performance, if you do so.

pay special attention, that your battery is not completely discharged. Even if you use the bat-
tery once a week, the battery should never be stored completely empty. Be sure to also check
the information, which is given in the section „Storage".
Best results will be obtained, when the battery pack gets discharged with 10A to a cut-off
voltage of 5.4V (6 cells), 6.3V (7 cells), 7.2V (8 cells). Pay attention, that the battery pack has
cooled down completely before beginning the charge.
NOSRAM Tip: For the best possible care of your NOSRAM Xtreme Power Stickpacks we
recommend the use of our NOSRAM Gravity Stickpack Discharger. The Discharger discharges
your Stickpacks and perfectly prepares them for the next charge. Your Stickpacks will have
a better performance, longer runtime and a longer lifespan. The NOSRAM Gravity Stickpack
Discharger is suitable for all Stickpacks (5-7 cells) and has the NOSRAM #91361.
If you intend not to use your battery for several weeks, you should not discharge the pack.
Please refer to the „Storage" section for further information.
It is not recommended to discharge your NOSRAM Xtreme Power Stickpack batteries
completely if you intend to store your battery for a longer time! Only fully discharge the
battery pack, if you intend to use it within one week.
IMPORTANT: Do not dead-short or deep-discharge the cells to 0V. Also do not use the common
light-bulbs without a cut-off or a monitoring device as this will damage the cells immediately.

3. STORAGE
If you are not using your NOSRAM Xtreme Power Stickpack battery for several days/weeks,
under no circumstances it shall be stored fully discharged. Storing of fully discharged NiMH
batteries even for just a few days immediately damages the cells.
We recommend to only store your NiMH battery packs with some capacity left in them. A
common way to do this is to partially charge the empty battery with 1C for 15 minutes. You can
then store the pack for several weeks. Store the battery preferably in a cool place.
