Battery Charging - SPARKY HeavyDuty GUR 15Li HD Instrucciones De Uso

▪ The charger and battery pack may become warm to
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem.
▪ To prevent overheating, do not charge battery packs
in direct sunlight in hot weather or near heat sources.
▪ Do not charge inside a box or container of any kind.
The battery must be placed in a well ventilated area
during charging.
▪ When the battery is defective, liquid can escape and
come into contact with adjacent components. Check
any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace
them, if required.
▪ If the battery pack does not charge properly:
(1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance.
(2) Move charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is approxi-
mately 65°F–75°F (18°C–24°C).
(3) If charging problems persist, take or send the tool,
battery pack and charger to your local service
centre.
▪ 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.
▪ Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously
damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery
pack can explode in a fire.
▪ 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 uninsu-
lated trailer.
WaRninG: Never attempt to open the battery
pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the bat-
tery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service centre
for recycling.

pal waste disposal centre to dispose of a damaged or
worn out battery.

Insert the plug of the charger (12) in the socket, and the
charging indicator (11) will be flickered in green,red and
yellow in turn within one second. And then, the battery
charger will be in the standby position.
Insert the battery (10) in the battery charger considering
the polarity.
A new battery will work properly after five times of charg-
ing and discharging. Charge and discharge a battery,
which is not used for a long time, for two to three times
to function well.
When the battery working time is remarkably short de-
spite full charging, the life of the battery may be over.
Replace the battery immediately.
WaRninG: The battery will be fully charged
after 1 hour, remove it from the charger after this time.
1) Charging indication:
Green blinks: Before charging
Red Lights: While charging
Green Lights: Charging completed
Red blinks: Overheat standby (Battery overheated)
yellow blinks: charging impossible
2) If charging of the heated battery is attempted immedi-
ately after it has been used or charged, indicator blinks
in red (overheat standby). The fan in the charger auto-
matically starts running to cool the hot battery down to
normal temperature. After cooling, indication changes to
red glowing and charging begins.
3) This charger detects charge status and transfers to
fine charging mode when the battery has been almost
fully charged and keeps the battery in full charge state.

▪ Do not recharge battery after a short operation to
avoid decreasing operation time and battery capacity.
▪ When battery is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make
a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause fire or ex-
plosion.
▪ Always unplug the charger when not in use and store
in a dry secure place.
