battery charger can work, but the output current will be automatically reduced
to protect the charger from high internal temperatures.
ÿ
Ventilated: Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance around all sides of the battery
charger for air flow. Ensure the ventilation openings on the unit are not
obstructed. If mounting in a compartment, ventilate the compartment with
louvers or cut-outs to prevent overheating.
