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 designed to be as easy as
e
possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery
pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (P) 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.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or
removing the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify battery
pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery
pack may rupture causing serious personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in D
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where
the temperature drops below 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) or exceeds 40 ˚C
(104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
For best life, store battery packs in a cool, dry location.
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.
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION (LI-ION)
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode
in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium-ion battery
packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately
wash area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the
eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation
ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is
composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists, seek medical
attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
Transportation
D WALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations
e
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
being classified as a fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general,
the two instances that require shipping Class 9 are:
1. Air shipping more than two D
package contains only battery packs (no tools), and
2. Any shipment containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating
greater than 100 watt hours (Wh). All lithium-ion batteries have the watt
hour rating marked on the pack.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted or fully regulated,
it is the shipper's responsibility to consult the latest regulations for
packaging, labeling/marking and documentation requirements.
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.
