Charging Procedure (Fig. 1)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery
pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (F) into the charger, as shown in Figure 1,
making sure the pack is fully seated in charger. The red (charging)
light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process
has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be
used at this time or left in the charger.
Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise
with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at
a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack into the charger. If the
problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger
is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is
defective and should be returned to a service center or other collection
site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble
indication as the original, have the charger tested at an authorized
service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger
detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery
has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes
long, then short while in the Hot/Cold Pack Delay mode.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge
indicator showing Pack Charged.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function
but should not be expected to perform as much work.
FAULTY BATTERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty
battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing
to light or by displaying problem pack or charger.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery
pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65 ˚F
and 75 ˚F (18–24 ˚C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below +40 ˚F (+4.5 ˚C), or above +105 ˚F (+40.5 ˚C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while
charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a
problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which
turns power off when you turn out the lights;
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65 ˚F–75 ˚F
(18–24 ˚C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and
charger to your local service center.
