cable may have an error. For standalone chargers, please refer
to charger operator's manual.

A cold battery pack may not flash while plugged in to charge.
Charging will not begin until the battery temperature warms
to within acceptable range and the LED begins to flash. If the
pack does not begin to charge after 30 minutes, the battery
or USB-C cable may have an error. For standalone chargers,
please refer to charger operator's manual.
