Chargers
The DE9000/DC9000 chargers accept 36 V Li-Ion
batteries only.
This charger requires no adjustment and is designed
to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (fi g. A, B)
DANGER: Electrocution hazard.
230 volts present at charging terminals.
Do not probe with conductive objects.
Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
1. Plug the charger (13) into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. The
charger is equipped with a three-light fuel gauge
that will blink according to the state of charge of
the battery pack.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the
red light remaining ON continuously. The pack is
fully charged and may be used at this time or left
in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully before
first use.

Charging Process

Refer the table below for the state of charge of the
battery pack.

Automatic Refresh
The automatic refresh mode will equalise or balance
the individual cells in the battery pack at its peak
capacity. Battery packs should be refreshed weekly
or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same
amount of work.
To refresh your battery pack, place the battery in the
charger as usual. Leave the battery pack for at least
10 hours in the charger.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
LI-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
Li-Ion batteries are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery against
overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the
Li-Ion battery on the charger until it is fully charged.
