authorised service centre.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an
authorised service centre when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution
or fire.
• 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 230V 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 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 possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (G) 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.
