Charge batteries in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) as reported by the battery. Charging is intelligently controlled by the charger. To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the charger alternately enables and disables battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures.
The ET5X’s amber charge LED shows the status of the battery charging in the ET5X. See Table 2 on page 16 for charging status indications.
