Appropriate charging environments
For safe and efficient charging, charge the Battery Pack in a location that is:

Free of rain or moisture
Out of direct sunlight
Well-ventilated and dry
Not accessible to children or pets
Temperature between 59 77 °F (15 25 °C)
Inappropriate charging environments and solutions
The hot and cold environments described below can cause charging to enter standby or suspen-

Summertime charging standby/suspension direct summer sunlight, temperature more than
104 °F (40 °C) or immediately
If charging in a location receiving direct summer sunlight or immediately after riding, the Battery

protect the Battery Pack from exceeding the specified temperature while charging. You can
avoid charging suspension by starting to charge with the Battery Pack cold or at a room temper-
ature of 59 77 °F (15 25 °C). If charging suspension occurs, move the Battery Pack to a cool
location to reduce the charging standby time.
Wintertime charging standby/suspension
Charging standby will occur if the temperature is less than 32 °F (0 °C). If charging is started
and the temperature drops below this level due to late-night cooling or other factors, charging is
suspended and standby mode is entered to protect the Battery Pack. In such cases, restart
charging at an indoor location with a temperature of 59 77 °F (15 25 °C).
Noise on televisions/radios/computers
Charging next to televisions, radios, or similar appliances might cause static, flickering images,
