the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a 120V Max* (two
60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max*
battery.
shipping Mode: When the cap is attached to the
FLEXVOLT™ battery, the battery is in Shipping Mode.
Strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack
resulting in three batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh)
rating as compared to one battery with a higher Watt hour
rating. This increased quantity of three batteries with the
lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain
shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt
hour batteries.
The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see
example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the
appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine 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
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.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge
left on the battery pack. It does not indicate pressure washer
functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature and end-user application.

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
