baggage.

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry
away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or
charger.

Charging procedure

BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to charge
BLACK+DECKER battery packs in 3-5 hours depending on
the pack being charged.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger as shown in
Fig. B.
3. The green LED will flash indicating that
the battery is being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by
the green LED remaining on continuously.
The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time
or left on the charger.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For
longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully.
It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after
each use.
Charger diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that
can arise with the battery packs or the power source.
Problems are indicated by one LED flashing in different
patterns.
Bad battery
The charger can detect a weak or damaged
battery. The red LED flashes in the pattern
indicated on the label. If you see this bad battery blink
pattern, do not continue to charge the battery. Return it to
a service center or a collection site for recycling.
Hot/cold pack delay
When the charger detects a battery that is
excessively hot or excessively cold, it automatically
starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging
until the battery has normalized. After this happens,
the charger automatically switches to the Pack
Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum
battery life. The red LED flashes in the pattern
indicated on the label.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with
the green LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep
the battery pack fresh and fully charged.

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 current at 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.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under
these conditions. Follow the charging procedure.
You may also charge a partially used pack whenever
you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup
of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power
supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any
other liquid.
Warning! Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside charger. Never attempt to open the battery pack
for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack
breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
