with this charger:
Battery packs for this tool are shipped in a low charge
condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you
should charge them until the green LED on the front of
the charger stays on.

normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and
charger to your nearest Authorized Service Center for
electrical check.
