Cooling system

This charger is equipped with cooling fan for heated
battery in order to enable the battery to prove its own

• Incomplete cool down of battery, such as, being
clogged with dust
The battery can be charged in spite of the alternate blue
and red light. But the charging time will be longer than

on the charger and battery, which can be sometime
clogged with dust.
