Charge Indicators
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 temperature has normalized.
After this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack
Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red
light flashes long, then short while in the Hot/Cold Pack Delay mode.
REPLACE PACK:
These chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise
with battery packs which would be indicated by the red light flashing
at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack. If problem persists,
try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the new
pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be
returned to a service center for recycling. If the new battery pack gives
the same trouble indication as the original, have charger tested at an
authorized service center.
PROBLEM POWER LINE:
When these chargers are used with some portable power sources such
as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the chargers may
temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast
blinks followed by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of
limits. Your power supply may need service.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light
glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and
WALT and other battery users, has
E
fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the
charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on maintenance charge,
it may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack may also
slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an
appropriate AC source.
Using Tune-Up™ Mode
The Tune-up™ mode will equalize or balance the individual cells in
the battery pack at its peak capacity. This cycle takes up to 8 hours to
complete. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after 10 to 20
charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers the
same amount of work.
1. To tune up your battery pack, place the battery in the charger as
usual. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the charge
cycle has started.
2. The Tune-up™ Button may be pressed at any time after the charge
has started. The red light will stop blinking momentarily, blink quickly
3 times, and then resume blinking continuously. The charger is
now giving your batteries a tune-up.
3. When the charge cycle has completed, the light will stay on
continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time
or left in the charger.
4. If you select Tune-up™ and then change your mind, remove the
battery from the charger. After 5 seconds, insert the battery into the
charger. The normal charge cycle will commence.
Air Cooling
This charger is equipped with an internal fan that provides rapid cooling
of D WALT DW0242 battery packs. The fan operation is automatic
E
and will turn on when required during battery charging. The fan will also
cycle periodically when there is no battery in the charger in order to
blow dust from the fan vents.
