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.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a weak battery.
Such batteries are still usable but should not be expected to perform as
much work. In such cases, about 10 seconds after battery insertion, the
charger will beep rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak battery condition.
The charger will then go on to charge the battery to the highest
capacity possible.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery
pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and
75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while
charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a
problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which
turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°-
24°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and
charger to your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO
NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power
supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when
there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock may result.
CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If
the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a
service center for recycling.
Fan Cooling
This charger is equipped with an internal fan that provides rapid cooling
of D WALT 24 Volt battery packs. The fan operation is automatic and
E
will turn on when required during battery charging. This procedure is
of great benefit for a pack that has finished a useable cycle. Place the
battery pack into the charger immediately after use so that the fan can
cool the cells and prolong the life of the battery pack.
WARNING: Fan may blow debris from vent area at any time. Keep
face and eyes away from area above vents. To minimize the risk of eye
injury, always use eye protection.
