CHARGING
The TSTAK CONNECT RADIO + CHARGER can only charge DEWALT
®
MAX Lithium-ion rechargeable battery packs, including DEWALT
to 9Ah. Use of any other battery packs or any non-rechargeable batteries may create a risk of injury or
fire. Be sure to read all safety instructions before using this appliance for charging your battery pack.
Note: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the

battery pack fully before first use.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

. 1 Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when
room temperature is between 65oF and 75oF (18-24oC). DO NOT charge the battery pack
below 40oF (4.5oC), or above 104oF (40oC). This is important and will prevent serious
damage to the battery pack.
. 2 The charger and battery pack may become warm to the 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 A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The battery
pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return
to maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Make sure power source is working by plugging a different appliance to the same source
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you
turn out the lights
c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65–75oF (18-24oC)
d. If charging problems persist, take the 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 the pack under these
conditions. You may also charge a partially used pack with no adverse effect on the battery
pack.
. 5 Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal
chips, 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 before attempting
to clean.
. 6 Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Don't allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock
may result.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid
to enter the battery pack. 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.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type.
