Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
battery using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use
water or any cleaning solutions.
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which
e
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of
charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
following indicators:
75–100% charged
51–74% charged
< 50% charged
Pack needs to be charged
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button. A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the
level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the
fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to
be recharged.
nOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left
on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality
and is subject to variation based on product components,
temperature and end-user application.

please contact 1-800-4-D WALT (1-800-433-9258) or visit

Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do
not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries
can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the
like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes
in carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual battery packs, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit. NOTE: Li-ion batteries should not be put in
checked baggage.
shipping the D WALT FlEXVOlT™ Battery Pack
e
The D WALT FLEXVOLT™ battery pack has a battery cap that
e
should be used when shipping the battery pack.
Attach the cap to the battery pack to ready it for shipping.
This converts the battery pack to three separate 20V
batteries . The three batteries have the Watt hour rating
labeled "Shipping" on the battery pack. If shipping without
the cap or in a tool, the pack is one battery at the Watt hour
rating labeled "Use".
Example battery pack label:
USE: 120 Wh SHIPPING: 3 x 40 Wh
In this example, the battery pack is three batteries with 40
Watt hours each when using the cap. Otherwise, the battery
pack is one battery with 120 Watt hours.
