Solid Red
Unhealthy battery is charging or fully charged.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 105°F). The standard battery charges from 0% to 90% in less than two and a half hours at room temperature. When the charging temperature is between 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F), the standard battery charges in less than five hours.
The device and charger monitor battery temperature. Battery charging is only performed when the battery is within safe charging temperature limits. At higher temperatures (at approximately +35 °C (+95 °F) the device or charger may, for small periods of time, alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. This process may increase charging time. The
RS6100
or charger indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via the Status LED.
