CHARgINg A COOL bATTERy PACK
If battery pack is within normal temperature range, the red
LED on charger will come on.
NOTE: If the charger does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and
charger to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for
electrical check.
 Charge the battery pack only with the charger provided.
 Make sure the power supply is normal voltage, 12 volts,
dC only.
 Connect the charger to the power supply.
 Place the battery pack in the charger aligning raised
rib on the battery pack with the groove in the charger.
See Figure 3.
 Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
 Normally the red LED on charger will come on. This
indicates the charger is in quick charging mode.
 Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour
then the green LED will come on. Green LED on
indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is
in maintenance charge mode.
NOTE: The green LED will remain on until the
battery pack is removed from the charger or charger is
disconnected from the power supply.
 If the red LED is flashing and yellow LED is on, this
indicates a deeply discharged battery pack. When the
red LED is flashing, this indicates the battery pack has
reached the normal voltage range. Allow the battery pack
to remain in charger for 30 minutes. If after 30 minutes
the yellow LED is on and the red LED is flashing, this
indicates a defective battery pack.

OPERATION

 After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time
is required to fully recharge battery pack.
 The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
 Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of
extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal room
temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed
in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F
but less than 100°F.
 When batteries become fully charged, unplug the
charger from power supply and remove the battery
pack.
