Charging Procedure - Black and Decker LPHT120 Manual De Instrucciones

CHARGING PROCEDURE

The standard charger provided will charge a fully depeleted battery
in about 8 hours.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the
battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the
charger as shown in figure 1.
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. 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.
1
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 when the hot / cold
pack delay is detected.
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 60°F and
80°F (16°- 27°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 60°F and 80°F
(16°- 27°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.
