- If the internal temperature exceeds 70°C but is below 85°C, the charger will automatically reduce the charging current to prevent overheating.
- If the internal temperature reaches or exceeds 85°C, the charger will cut off power within 0.2 seconds to ensure safety.
- Charging will automatically resume when the temperature drops below 65°C.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your charger:
- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not in use, store the charger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The special socket design helps prevent dust from entering the interface.
- Cable Care: Avoid kinking or bending the cable sharply. The TPU wire is designed for wear and pressure resistance, but proper handling extends its life.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable, plugs, and control unit for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. If any damage is found, do not use the charger and contact support.
