the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the
shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at
the Watt hour rating indicated for "Shipping". If shipping
without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one
battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to "Use".
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh
For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh,
meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh
rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
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:
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.
Fig. B
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.

The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-
ion batteries (or battery packs) indicates
that the costs to recycle these batteries
(or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have already
been paid by D WALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place
e
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and
the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.

Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with D
battery users, has established the program in the United
States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries. Help
protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride
or lithium-ion batteries to an authorized D
center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also
contact your local recycling center for information on
where to drop off the spent battery. RBRC® is a registered

Important Safety Instructions for the
Portable Power Station/Charger

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery packs and portable
power station/charger. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• The portable power station/charger in Charger-
In Mode is not intended for any uses other than
charging D WALT 20V Max* rechargeable batteries.
e
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
Do not expose a portable power station/charger to
•
rain or snow.
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
•
disconnecting the portable power station/charger.
This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug
and cord.
Make sure that the extension cord is located so that
•
it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
Do not expose the portable power station/charger to
•
wet or damp areas. Use only in a dry location. Do not
allow any liquid to get inside the portable power station/
charger. Do not submerge the portable power station/
charger in any liquid.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating, and the voltage drop caused by the use of
extension cords, given different electrical loads. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
