Mike_Gansler: During charging, it is not a bad idea to have a fan blowing air over the packs.
This is by no means necessary, but the descriptions in the Battery Care Booklet mention how this can be a help. During charging, keeping the cells cool will allow the charge process to operate more efficiently and store more energy in your packs, and energy is range!
If anyone is interested, I use a Suncourt Equilizer 2 Register Booster Fan, Ebay item #5907134432. I had to cut slots around the bottom perimeter for air flow. I mounted it on a plywood board that places my HT right over the fan every time I go for a charge. In making the board, I placed a 2x4 on it to act as a kickstand. All I do is drive up, stop, get off, turn off, lean, and then plug-in. It works great for me!
