2 - 14 MC45 Integrator Guide
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the
Four Slot Battery Charger.
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 2-3 for charging status indications.
