the rating plate. Never attempt to replace the
charger unit with a regular mains plug.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer or an authorised BLACK+DECKER Service

Charging a battery (fig. A)
BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to charge
BLACK+DECKER battery packs.
Plug the charger (19) into an appropriate outlet before
u
inserting a battery pack (18).
10
(Original instructions)
Insert the battery pack (18) into the charger, making sure
u
the battery pack is fully seated in the battery slots (Figure
A).
The LED (30a) will flash indicating that the
battery is being charged.
The completion of charge is indicated by the
LED remaining on continuously. The pack is
fully charged and may be used at this time or
left in the charger.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after
u
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 (fig. B)
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 LED flashes in the pattern indi-
cated 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 ecycling.
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 light 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 LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged. This charger features
an automatic tune-up mode which equals or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack to allow it to function at
peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or
whenever the battery no longer delivers the same amount
of work. To use the automatic tune-up mode, place the
battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.

Important charging notes

Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
u
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 18 ° – 24 °C. DO NOT charge the battery pack in
an air temperature below +4.5 °C, or above +40 °C.
