and the type of battery pack being charged. For example, if the battery pack does not require a full charge, the charg- ing time will be less than one hour.

Effects of temperature on charging

Battery packs are affected by temperature. The charger will sense battery temperature and will charge the battery at the most rapid rate when its temperature ideal (between 41°F (5°C) and 113°F (45°C). When the battery temperature is outside of this range, the charger will supply enough current to keep the battery pack in its current state to prevent damage to battery.

Charge pending until battery temperature is below 113°F (45°C).
