Charging Process; Important Safety Instructions For All Battery Packs - DeWalt DCN692 Instruction Manual

English
• In case of damaged power supply cord the
supply cord must be replaced immediately by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similar
qualified person to prevent any hazard.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet
before attempting any cleaning. This will
reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing
the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect two chargers
together.
• The charger is designed to operate on
standard 220-240V household electrical
power. Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.

Chargers
The DCB105, DCB107, DCB112, DCB113 and
DCB115 chargers accept 10.8V, 14.4V and 18V
Li-Ion XR (DCB140, DCB141, DCB142, DCB143,
DCB144, DCB145, DCB180, DCB181, DCB182,
DCB183, DCB183B, DCB184, DCB184B and
DCB185) battery packs.
D WALT chargers require no adjustment and are
e
designed to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (I) into the charger.
The red (charging) light will blink continuously
indicating that the charging process has
started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by
the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life
of lithium-ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully
before first use.

Charging Process

Refer to the table below for the charge status of the
battery pack.

* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115: The red
light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator
light will be illuminated during this operation.
Once the battery has reached an appropriate
temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the
charger will resume the charging procedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty
battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery
by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or
charger blink pattern.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a
charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger
and battery pack to be tested at an authorised
service centre.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
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 warms.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place
the lithium-ion battery on the charger until it is fully
charged.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure
to include catalog number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the
carton. Before using the battery pack and charger,
read the safety instructions below. Then follow
charging procedures outlined.
