The motor is designed for indoor use with and IP 30 rating. The operating temperature is from 0 to 60 degree Celsius and the ideal charging temperature is from 0 to 45 degree Celsius. When installed indoor in a roller tube next to a window, temperatures may rise from 35 to 60 degree Celsius. It is best to charge the motor in the night or when the sun is down where the temperature is below 45 degree Celsius.
