DeWalt DCG414 Manual De Instrucciones página 9

Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is
in a D WALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V Max*
e
battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a
120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate
as a 60V Max* battery.
shipping Mode: When
the cap is attached to
the FLEXVOLT™ battery,
the battery is in Shipping
Mode. Strings of cells are
electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three
batteries with a lower watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to
one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased
quantity of three batteries with the lower watt hour rating
can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that
are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.
The battery label indicates two Watt Hour Ratings (see
example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the
appropriate Whr rating must be used to determine the
applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping
cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Whr
indicated for "Shipping". If shipping without the cap or in
a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt
hour rating indicated next to "Use".
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh
Transport Wh rating indicates 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3
batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh rating indicates
120 Watt hour (1 battery implied).
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which
e
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of
charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
following indicators:
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button . A combination of the three green LED lights will
21
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the
level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the
fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to
be recharged.

on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality
and is subject to variation based on product components,
temperature and end-user application.
