Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery.
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in Table 3, and batteries that
have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.
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.
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.
CAUTION:
When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be
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 charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a
location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the pilot
lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5
seconds).
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.
