Charging Temperature

Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Note that charging is intelligently
controlled by the MC40. To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC40 or accessory alternately
enables and disables battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC40 or accessory
indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See
