Charging Procedure - Black & Decker lCs120 Instruction Manual

warninG:
Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
• Charge the battery packs only in Black & decker chargers.
• do not splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This may
cause premature cell failure.
• do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where
the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40˚C) (such as
outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
warninG:
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into
charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit
with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to service center for recycling.
warninG:
fire hazard. do not store or carry battery so that
metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product
kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials
such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department
of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e.,
packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries,
make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated
from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE: LI-ION batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
storaGe reCommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.

CharGinG ProCedure

The standard charger provided will charge a fully depeleted battery
in about 4 hours.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the
battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the
charger as shown in figure a.
3. The green LED will flash
indicating that the battery is being
charged.
4. The completion of charge
is indicated by the green LED
remaining on continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may
be used at this time or left on the
charger.
recharge discharged batteries
as soon as possible after use or battery life may be greatly
diminished. It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after
each use.
leaVinG the Battery in the CharGer
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the green
LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh
and fully charged.
imPortant CharGinG notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery
pack is charged when the air temperature is between 60°F and 80°F
(16°- 27°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature
below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to 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.
