cell caps (maintenance free), carefully follow the
manufacturer’s charging instructions.
• Study all the battery manufacturer’s specific
precautions, such as removing or not removing cell
caps while charging, and the recommended charging
rates.
• Make sure that the initial charging rate does not
exceed the battery manufacturer’s requirement.

importance that each time, before using your
battery charger, you read this manual and follow the
instructions exactly.
• Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
Black & Decker may result in a risk of fire, electric
