The 3123/3523 Fast AC Battery Charger connects directly to the battery
pack for charging. You cannot use this charger through the 19-way or
5-way connector on the front panel of the transceiver.
Charging is recommended between 0 and 40°C (104°F). The battery will
not commence charging if the temperature is at or above 40°C (104°F). If
charging is already in progress, and the temperature rises to 50°C (122°F),
charging is stopped automatically.
To prevent damage to the battery, Codan recommends the use of the
Codan battery chargers to charge the battery pack.
