Charging Temperature

Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Note that charging is intelligently controlled by

charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC55 or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See
