ability to detect a weak or damaged battery.

Hot/cold battery. When the charger detects
that a battery is excessively hot or cold,
charging is suspended until the battery has
normalized. Once battery is at a temperature
between to 40° F (4° C) and 104° F (40° C),
the charger automatically switches to charg-
ing mode. Battery overheating could be
attributed to:
1 Long continuous running
2 Hot ambient temperature
3 One or more cells are damaged
The battery will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
Leaving the battery in the
charger
The battery can be left connected in the
charger with the green led glowing indefi-
nitely. The charger will keep the battery fresh
and fully charged. The charger features an
automatic tune-up mode which equals or
balances the individual cells within the
battery to enable it to function at peak
capacity. Batteries should be tuned-up
weekly or whenever the battery no longer
delivers the same amount of work.
To use the automatic tune-up mode, place
the battery in the charger for a minimum of
8 hours.
