1.
These chargers utilize a special charging control
system due to the fact that the high charging
speed. Therefore, always charge the battery at a
temperature of 0–40°C for UC24YF. A lower
temperature than these specified ranges will result
in overcharging which will shorten the battery life.
The battery cannot be charged at a temperature
higher than 40°C. The most suitable temperature
for charging is that of 20–25°C.
2.
Do not use the charger continuously.
When one charging is completed, leave the charger
