And I read the manual...

Did anyone notice this :


Firmware prior to v1.4
When mounted, if the RED-BRICK battery cell temperature is greater than the maximum allowed value, charge operation is suspended and the LED will indicate solid red. Remove the RED-BRICK battery from the RED-CHARGER and allow it to cool for a few minutes. On re-mounting the battery on the RED-CHARGER, if the cell temperature has fallen below the maximum allowed value, the RED-CHARGER will then proceed to charge the RED-BRICK battery.
Effective with firmware v1.4
When mounted, if the RED-BRICK battery cell temperature is greater than the maximum allowed value, charge operation is suspended and the LED will flash red (500ms on 500ms off). Leave the RED-BRICK battery mounted. The RED-CHARGER will retest the battery cell temperature at one minute intervals, and when the cell temperature has fallen below the maximum allowed value the RED-CHARGER will then proceed to charge the RED-BRICK battery.

My chargers are definitly pre v1.4. Can they be upgraded ?

Cheers,
Damien

RED-CHARGER firmware updates require the charger to be opened and an E-PROM reprogrammed.

So if you want to find out what the cost would be do do that, please send an e-mail to RED tech support.
