Charge Indicators

This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. Problems are

indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack

into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the

charger is working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is

defective and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling.

If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger

and the battery pack tested at an authorized service center.

HOT/COLD DELAY

This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is

hot, it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled.

After the battery has cooled, 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 delay mode.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing

Pack Charged.

WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be

expected to perform as much work.

FAULTY BATTERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The

charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack

or charger.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.

PROBLEM POWERLINE

Some chargers have a problem powerline indicator. When the charger is used with

some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the

charger 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.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged

when the air temperature is between 18 ° – 24 °C (65 °F and 75 °F). DO NOT

charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +4 °C (+40 °F), or above

+40 °C (+105 °F). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the

battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the 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. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The

battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle

and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
