It is normal for the batteries to become warm
while charging.
Charge the batteries in an area with
temperatures between 32 and 113° F (0–45°
C). If the area is too cold, the batteries can
permanently lose their ability to charge. If the
area is too warm, the batteries will not fully
charge.
Do not try to charge batteries other than
those listed in this manual, or use
procedures other than those described in
this manual.
You cannot charge AA batteries in one bay
and AAA batteries in the other bay at the
