(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery
and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
When the battery charger has been continuously used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next
charging.
If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to
battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp
map light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let
the battery cool before charging.
