The batteries should only be charged when the laser is between 50° F and 104° F (10°C to
40°C). Charging at a higher temperature may damage the batteries. Charging at a lower
temperature may increase the charge time and decrease the charge capacity, resulting in
loss of performance and shortened life expectancy.
