Battery Charging Indicators
The MC45’s LED indicates the status of the battery charging in the MC45. See Table 2-2 on page 2-5 for
charging status indications. The 3080mAh battery fully charges in less than six hours at room temperature of
approximately 25 °C (77°F). Charging time may vary at different temperatures.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the
MC45.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC45 or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC45 or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 2-2 for charging status indications.
