  • Page 15: Battery Charger Details

    BATTERY CHARGER DETAILS NOTE To maximize nickel cadmium battery life, the M-RK vehicular chargers are designed with automatic controls which limit the rapid charging of M-RK batteries if the internal battery temperature is below 0° C (+32° F) or above +45° C (+113° F). The charger indicates this high or low internal temperature condition by a yellow LED which blinks at a slow rate.

    Speaker Leads (For P2 Enhanced Vehicular Charger Only) Other leads on the interconnect cable include the external speaker leads that are approximately 18 inches in length. Route and connect these leads to the external speaker. Since the charger has differential- type speaker amplifier output lines, use speaker option 19A149590P1, or do not ground either speaker lead if another speaker is used.
