Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the

To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC45 or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC45 or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See
Table 1-1 .
NOTE The MC45 Battery Cover must be in place and closed properly for the MC45 to power on and charge the
battery.
