-<color #ed1c24>**Important:** please don't allow a __deep discharge__ of the battery. That means use of a battery until it runs completely out of power. The battery level indicator would then be just grey with no black squares visible. The current battery holder/charger is not able to charge deeply depleted batteries. Completely drained batteries must be brought to the telemetry team for an exchange. Please prevent this by doing regular charges and make sure there is at least 1 bar on the battery level indicator</color>

-The OBC battery, battery holder, and a 50W charger is part of the telemetry kit provided by the technical team. However, it is the (race-)teams responsability to always keeping their battery well charged. Avoid going out on track with less than 60% charge (less than 3 bars).  To charge the battery, have it installed in the holder and connect the charger barrel connector to the battery holder.
