Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in the table below, and
batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.
Regarding recharging time
Table 4 shows the recharging time required according to the type of battery.
Table 4 Recharging time (approx. min.) at 68°F (20°C)
NOTE: The recharging time may vary according to ambient temperature and power
source voltage.
4. Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord.
Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.
5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.
Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger.

When the battery charger has been continuosly used, the battery charger will heated,
thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed,
give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.
If the battery is rechraged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight,
the pilot lamp may light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been
used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when
using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal
time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.
