A-2.1
Ambient Temperature verses Continuous Current
As the temperature of the power devices inside the PT-100 increases, the maximum allowable
charger current is reduced. The following curve shows the effect of charger current with the
temperature above 40°C.

A-2.2
Output current verses Battery Voltage
The following curve shows the PT-100’s output current at different battery voltage levels. The
output current of the PT-100 is consistent throughout it’s battery voltage range.
