CHARGER HI-TEMP
FAULT CONDITION
Charger Hi-Temp - Fault Condition
Ambient temperature and/or unit temperature are too high
to charge at this time.
Charger will automatically resume charging when appropriate.
If recharging a deeply discharged battery it is not uncommon for the
charger to enter the Hi-Temp fault condition in order to protect the
charger and battery. Charger will automatically resume charging in
3 to 15 minutes depending on the ambient temperature and condition
of the battery. Do not block cooling vents on bottom of charger and
locations in the AC coil wrap area and place only on a hard surface.
