Or can it take much more than that. I have never had any kind of warning about the battery beeing to hot. Greetings, Tim

I have had a low temperature warning in the winter once. I know they are "intelligent" batteries but I like to let them cool down a bit before putting it on the charger right away.

I have nine batteries so it's not like I'm in a rush to get them charged ASAP. Reactions: Tglass0000
