Hot/Cold Pack Delay
Whenthechargerdetectsabatterythatisexcessively
hotorexcessivelycold,itautomaticallystartsaHot/Cold

switchestothePackChargingmode.Thisfeatureensures
maximumbatterylife.TheredLEDashesinthepattern
indicatedonthelabelwhentheHot/Coldpackdelayis
detected.
