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.
3.5.3 ELECTRONIC PROTECTION SYSTEM
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 Li-Ion battery on the charger until it is fully charged.
3.5.4 WALL MOUNTING
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall
mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions
which may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the location of the mounting screws
on the wall. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm)
long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving
approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.
3.5.5 CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use
water or any cleaning solutions.
3.5.6 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 +104 °F (+40 °C). 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 ) If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of 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 the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65 °F – 75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C);
4 ) If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.
5 ) 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 effect on the battery pack.
6 ) Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, 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 the charger before
attempting to clean.
7 ) Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
