Usage tips
- It is normal for batteries to become hot during charging and they will gradually cool down to room temperature after being fully charged.
- Remove batteries from the electrical device if the device is not going to be used for a long time.
- Charger storage temperature: -20 ~ +35°C.
- Charger operation temperature: 0 ~ +33°C.
- Charging time is based on the same battery size and capacity at an ambient temperature of +20°C.
- The sliding battery cover is to protect the user from accessing the batteries at high temperatures during charging. Opening the sliding battery cover will stop the charging immediately.
- If the over-temperature warning persists, move the charger to a lower temperature environment of +20 ~ +25°C, suggest replacing the battery(ies) or using a new Recyko Charge 10 battery(ies) instead.
- When AA and AAA batteries are mixed for charging, the charger will charge the AA battery (ies) and then be followed by the AAA battery(ies). The charging time may be longer than the charging timetable mentioned.
