NOTE: When standby for cooling battery, UC18YML2 cools the overheated battery by cooling fan.
(However, the cooling fan does not function when charging the battery with a DC 12V in-car power source.)
(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable
battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in Table 2, and batteries that have become
hot should be cooled for a while before being
recharged.

NOTE:
The recharging time may vary according to the
ambient temperature and power source voltage.
Especially, using a DC 12V in-car power source may
require longer recharging time at high temperatures.
CAUTION
When the battery charger has been continuosly used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.
4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle or cigarette lighter socket
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE:
After operation, pull out batteries from the charger
first, and then keep the batteries properly.
