18.3.4 Lithium-ion battery pack – charging
The battery packs and the charger both have LEDs to indicate charging status.
Full charge will take between 2-3 hours for a full charge, depending on ambient temperature.
A 30 minute charge should provide approximately half a day charge.
Temperatures above 30°C (85°F) will slow the charging process as heat is not so easily dissipated from the batteries.
The temperature limit for charging the Li-ION battery is 40°C (104°F). Above 40°C the charger will stop and the
battery pack will show a RED warning LED.
