Continuous charging under appropriate voltage does not cause any loss of
characteristics. However, the charge timer is recommended to be installed
from a safety consideration, which shuts off further charging at time specified
in the product specification.
2.4 Charging temperature

The cell should be charged within a range of specified temperatures in
2.5 Reverse charging

The cell should be connected, confirming that its poles are correctly aligned.
Inverse charging should be strictly prohibited. If the cell is connected
improperly, it may be damaged.
