Hi all,
I had my first brush with the blinking red light, while I had the L5 charging in the car with the sun on it. I came home and found this statement in the docs:
The charge controller will pause charging when the battery temperature exceeds a threshold that is slightly above 40°C. Use the Usage utility, selecting the Thermal tab, to check the temperature reported for the sensor named bq25890-charger. If the reported temperature is too high then if the ambient temperature is high, try moving the charger and phone to a cooler location.

So… I’m planning to go to the Mojave desert this summer. Daytime temperatures will be ~110°F (43°C). Does this mean I’m only going to be able to charge at night? Why is the max charging temperature set so low?
