Notes concerning charger usage with RED Brick battery packs

It is preferable to charge batteries immediately before use. Some loss from self-discharge can result if the batteries are charged

several weeks in advance of their use. However, this slight loss can be topped up at any time without any degradation of battery

performance.Batteriesshouldbestoredinacoolanddryplace.Chargingshouldbeperformedattemperaturesabove5oCand

below45oC.Slightheatingofthebatteryisexpectedtooccurduringthechargecycle,howeverifforsomereason,thepack

temperature reaches 60oC, charge activity is suspended. The pack resumes normal charging once the temperature drops back to

below50oC.Inthecaseofabatterywhosetemperatureisoutsidethetoleratedrangeof5-45^degC,thechargerwillindenitely

keep retrying every minute, to allow the battery to enter within the correct range.

High current draw from a RED-BRICK battery pack can heat the internal cells to a temperature at which it is not safe to perform an
