Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0
o

o
C (32°F to 104°F). Note that at temperatures above 35
o

charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA and the charging accessory in order to ensure safe operation
and optimize long-term battery life.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See
