Storage Recommendations
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimal
results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before use.

Charger
Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, battery pack and the BR-Series Cordless
Tool. The STANLEY supplied Lithium Ion battery pack charger is designed to charge Lithium ion battery packs. This charger
requires no adjustment and is designed to be as easy as possible to operate. Simply place your battery pack into the receptacle
of a plugged-in charger and it will automatically charge the pack.
Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. For-
eign 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 the charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in the receptacle. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean it.
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual. The charger and battery pack
are specifically designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging STANLEY supplied Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries. Any
other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug
and cord.
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Do not use an extension cord unless it is necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of
the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the to-
tal length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
