Appropriate charging environments
For safe and efficient charging, charge the Battery Pack in a location that is:
• Flat and stable
• Free of rain or moisture
• Out of direct sunlight
• Well-ventilated and dry
• Not accessible to children or pets
• Temperature between 15–25 °C
Inappropriate charging environments and solutions
The hot and cold environments described below can cause charging to enter standby or suspen-
sion without fully charging the Battery Pack.
• Summertime charging standby/suspension
If charging in a location receiving direct summer sunlight or immediately after riding, the Battery
Pack might enter charging standby (all four battery capacity indicator lamps flash slowly). See
"Reading the charging status for Battery Pack". This is to automatically stop charging in order to
protect the Battery Pack from exceeding the specified temperature while charging. You can
avoid charging suspension by starting to charge with the Battery Pack cold or at a room temper-
ature of 15–25 °C. If charging suspension occurs, move the Battery Pack to a cool location to
reduce the charging standby time.
• Wintertime charging standby/suspension
Charging standby will occur if the temperature is less than 0 °C. If charging is started and the
temperature drops below this level due to late-night cooling or other factors, charging is sus-
pended and standby mode is entered to protect the Battery Pack. In such cases, restart charg-
ing at an indoor location with a temperature of 15–25 °C.
• Noise on televisions/radios/computers
Charging next to televisions, radios, or similar appliances might cause static, flickering images,
and other interference. If this occurs, recharge in a location further away from the television or
radio (such as in another room).
WARNING
If a charging fault occurs during charging, remove the power plug of the Battery Charger
from the socket and wait for the Battery Pack/Battery Charger to cool.
