WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or
damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or
charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a
nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock
or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs
should be returned to service centre for recycling.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not
place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,
keys, etc.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its
side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knocked over.
Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials. When
transporting batteries, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit. NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put
in checked baggage.
D WALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping
e
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards
which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport Association
(IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, International Maritime
Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European
Agreement Concerning The International Carriage of
Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium‑ion cells and
batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the UN
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods
Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a D
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class
9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing
a lithium‑ion battery with an energy rating greater than
100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully
regulated Class 9. All lithium‑ion batteries have the Watt Hour
rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation
complexities, D WALT does not recommend air shipping
e
lithium‑ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour
rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be
air shipped as excepted if the Watt Hour rating of the battery
pack is no greater than 100 Wh.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
28
WALT battery pack will be
e
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentation requirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual

applicable regulations.
Transporting the FLEXVOLT
The D WALT FLEXVOLT
TM
e
and Transport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
is in a D WALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery.
e
When the FLEXVOLT TM battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V
batteries) product, it will operate as a 54V battery.
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the
FLEXVOLT battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep
TM
the cap for shipping.
When in Transport mode,
strings of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack
resulting in 3 batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a
higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the
higher Watt hour batteries.
For example, the
Transport Wh rating
might indicate
3 x 36 Wh, meaning
3 batteries of
36 Wh each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 108 Wh
(1 battery implied).

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry
away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For
optimum battery performance and life, store battery
packs at room temperature when not in use.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.
nOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
Labels on Charger and Battery Pack
