Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the
MC65.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC65 alternately enables and disables battery charging to keep
the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC65 indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal
temperatures via its LED. See
