Battery Charging Indicators

The MC55's charge LED shows the status of the battery charging in the MC55. See
charging status indications.
The2400 mAh battery fully charges in less than four hours and the 3600 mAh battery fully charges in less than
six hours.

Charging Temperature

Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the
MC55.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC55 alternately enables and disables battery charging to
keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC55 indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal
temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-1 on page 1-6.
