Andy, In Fahrenheit, it is 122 DgF. Probably it is related to the electrical current issue.

Basically, recharging involves pushing energy into them, the last 30% of which generates a fair amount of heat. There are lots of safety controls on the charger, so it will finish after a certain period of time, if the voltage goes too high, or if the battery gets too hot. In this context, too hot is about 50 degress Celcius (sorry if you work in Fahrenheit but I don't! somewhere about the same temperature as a hot cup of tea). You'll probably find that other battery powered devices feel quite hot after they've been charged - my mobile phone does, for example, although that's a slightly different kind of battery. regards, Andy. ---- Andrew Riden Software Development Engineer HumanWare Ltd. 11 Mary Muller Drive, Christchurch, New Zealand.
