the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentation requirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time
the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or
implied, is given. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that its
activities comply with the applicable regulations.
Transporting the FlEXVOlT
The D WALT FLEXVOLT® battery has two modes: Use
e
and Transport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
a D WALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When
e
the FLEXVOLT battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries)
TM
product, it will operate as a 54V battery.
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap
for shipping.
When in Transport mode, strings
of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack,
resulting in 3 batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a
higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hour batteries.
For example, the Transport
Wh rating might indicate
3 x 36 Wh, meaning
3 batteries of 36 Wh each.
The Use Wh rating might
indicate 108 Wh (1 battery implied).

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from
direct sunlight and excessive heat or cold. For optimum
battery performance and life, store battery packs at room
temperature when not in use.
2. 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.
