Charging Nicd Or Nimh Batteries; Default Charging Parameter Settings - Husky MP2500 Manual

32.5.2 Charging NiCd or NiMH batteries

By default, users can authorise charging by using the power option of the
HOT key, but you should disable this (INT 15H functions 7CH and 7EH) if
you think there is any likelihood that they will fit Alkaline batteries and then
attempt to charge them. REMEMBER, ATTEMPTING TO RECHARGE
ALKALINE BATTERIES IS HAZARDOUS AND CAN DAMAGE THE
MP2500!
If you do disable the HOT key power option, you will need to provide
charging facilities to someone. For example, a supervisor might perform all
recharging, in which case you could write a simple utility which grants
temporary access to the HOT key, but not give copies to users.
Another method would be to build recharging facilities into each application
or into a separate utility, but protect them by a password, which you only
provide to responsible individuals.
