USInG THE TEmpERATURE SEnSOR
The Activator 80 Multi-Chemistry AC/DC Charger includes a temperature sensor
that should ALWAYS be used to monitor the temperature of your battery during
the charging or discharging process. In addition to temperature monitoring, you
are able to program a Safe Temperature Cut-Off value that will stop the current
process should your battery’s temperature reach the programmed value. This
provides an extra measure of safety during the charging or discharging process.

Safe Temperature Range
37 to 60ºC (100 to 140ºF)
37 to 54ºC (100 to 130ºF)
Ambient Temp + 10ºF
For information about changing the
Safe Temperature Cut-Off value, see
the Safety Temp Cut-Off Menu section
on pages 16 and 17.
For Lithiums, we recommend setting the Safe Temperature Cut-Off value to
10ºF above ambient temperature (e.g., 80ºF A 10º = 90ºF or 32ºC).
